I Change My Style Every Month. That’s Not a Flaw.
Let’s get one thing straight: if you came here expecting “consistency,” you’re in the wrong place and possibly on the wrong planet. I change my art style the way some people change their socks: frequently, impulsively, and without any warning.
One day, it’s soft florals in ethereal pastels. The next, it’s neon chaos with six layers of angry collage and a smear of gold for dramatic effect. And no, I’m not going through a “phase.” I’m going through my entire personality in one afternoon, thank you very much.
This, my dear friends, is ADHD in full artistic bloom.
People love to talk about “finding your style” as if it’s some sacred treasure buried beneath the sands of Self-Discovery. But let me tell you: my style isn’t buried. It’s speed-skating in every direction, blasting rave music and leaving glitter in its wake.
Some days I want structure and clean lines. On other days, I want to throw paint at a canvas while yelling, “Feelings are real!” into the void. My art doesn’t ask permission, it just shows up, loud and proud, wearing whatever it wants. Kind of like me.
If you’ve ever been told you need to “settle down” or “choose a niche,” allow me to offer you this gentle rebuttal: nope. The world doesn’t need more quiet conformity. It needs the wild, glorious unpredictability that comes from brains like ours, brains that see twelve different paths and take all of them simultaneously, while also reorganizing the bead drawer and crying over a color swatch that “feels like childhood but also betrayal.”
I used to think my inconsistency was a flaw. Now I know it’s a signature. Not a neatly signed one, mind you, more like a scrawl that shifts colors mid-letter. But it’s mine.
So to the fellow style-shifters out there: your art is valid in every form it takes. You are not flaky. You’re fluid. Not scattered, spontaneous. Not inconsistent but intuitively expansive.
And if all else fails, just remember: Van Gogh probably changed his mind a few times too. (He also cut off his ear, but let’s not go that far.)
Write in every color you feel. Paint with every mood swing. Your inconsistency is not a liability—it’s your art superpower.
Now go make something totally different from what you made yesterday. On purpose.
