Key Takeaways
“Embrace the “suck” and be a little terrible because that’s how you get good”
- Levi learned early when growing as an artist that talent doesn’t get you very far, but hard work and challenging yourself at things that you are bad at will!
- One of Levi’s income stream is auctioning his art on Instagram
- Levi says that the things you are afraid of are the things you haven’t done properly yet so challenge yourself and get better
- Levi advises in regards to client work, say yes, ask questions later
- Levi says that if money is not an object, you should get to an art school, but if it is, you shouldn’t do student debt. You don’t need school for creating art. Yes, you will get connections, will grow your skills, but you still have to do the work, so don’t expect the school to propel you forward that much!
