Hey guys, I'm super happy, I got my very first DD!  So I want to send a special thanks to my friend Steph [link] for the suggestion.  

I actually cried.  It that a little pathetic or what?  Hah!  Anyway, on to other things...


I have a confession to make.  I, Fiona Meng, am a style slut.  

It's time to grit my teeth and take a good hard look in the mirror.  I've found it to be difficult to be in a monogamous relationship with a particular style.  It goes against my nature as a creative person.  I always want to explore something new, and push myself in a different direction.  As a creative person, to limit oneself can be very difficult.  

But it's important to be able have a style that's somewhat consistent.  If someone wants to hire you for a job, they want to be able to predict what they're going to get.  

As artists our name is our brand, and when we sell our work we're selling a particular brand to a client.  I know a lot of artists who have "pen names" for different styles they like to work in, but it always stays consistent.

Styles can change, but having a consistent product people can expect is important.  Someone who has a strong and distinct style will be more memorable.  It takes a long time to develop, but style is super important.


Any thoughts?
