The Lovers Screenprint

It's just kinda struck me....

Incidentally, 'The Lovers' print being my most popular thing i've ever made so far, (being sold on opening night in Colours May Vary's 'Final1.jepg', and being what got me noticed for HPFC) wasn't my most successful uni project outcome at all. It stemmed from a place of little research, lack of motivation about the brief, and minimal effort was put into the concept. It was more like creating what I wanted to, rather than following the brief to a T. And people want to see it? What does this teach me? That success isn't always a set of rules that make up a uni grade. Rather, sometimes it is making work simply because I wanna make it, and kinda making it work that others want to buy... or just being lucky enough for this to happen organically.

good work is not always uni work is not always popular

NB- Does popularity matter?

I guess that all that matters is that your work is authentic, and not trying to follow trends, so... yes, if you're lucky enough to be popular. BUT also popularity ebbs and flows, trends change, whereas authenticity lasts. stay true:)
