What’s the Deal, Bill?

For my first article, I wanted to share a bit about how it is to start this new life. After I came back from travel in October 2018, I finally got a cozy room in Zürich in January. I was longing to have my own space so that I could finally start doing my creative multiverse kinda business.

As much as I’m happy and thankful for having a nest and being close to my family and friends again, I realized how tricky it is to come back after such a long time of freedom, to start a new adventure that will actually be a pretty tough journey towards another kind of freedom, aka being an artist / living from my art / having a creative business.

Because I am doing illustrations, but also makes photos and have many other ideas to make, it’s been hard to define myself and my art. And it’s been hard to say the word « artist ». I almost feel like it’s a bad word in many people’s mind. Either, artists seem to be unreachable and just living from one mundane art exhibition to the other VIP event, or they are just seen as jobless lazy people living out of the reality of the world. I don’t want to be associated with the first category, and I sometimes fear that people, even close friends, consider me part of the second option. Well, for now, I find it easier to present myself as a creative, which isn’t far from what I was before, heh!

So here it is: I am a creative and I work from home to make things happen. And jeez that’s a lot of work! When you finally begin, you realize how much little details you have to think of to start a creative business and a freelance illustrator life. And it takes so much time and learning that you feel like you haven’t even started yet.

Which is why it is difficult to answer people asking me what I’m doing at the moment. It’s a very abstract thing to explain. Saying  « I do illustrations » makes people say "so you are at home and do drawings the whole day?! » and I get afraid to appear lazy. When I explain a bit deeper about the details of my work, it can be difficult to picture what I’m talking about, and why it takes so much time to reach $$$. At the question: « Are you working at the moment? Did you find a job? », the old me spontaneously says « Nope! », because I kept in mind the concept of a day job in an office. But then it strikes me that actually yes I do have a job! I just don’t get paid for it. Yet.

Believe it or not, I’m working pretty much all the time! But thanks god, I still sleep at night. I barely recognize weekdays from weekends. I know I’m not the most time-efficient person and I’m probably not productive the whole time, but I’m constantly searching for something, learning, drawing, scanning, cleaning pictures, organizing files, looking for potential futures collaborations, thinking of other artsy projects. Some days are very frustrating, some days are very productive. But the best is that even though I work continuously, at 7 am or at 10 pm, I feel passionate about it. It never feels like something I’m forced to do. And that keeps me believing that I’m doing the right thing at the moment.

February 27, 2023 The Creative Multiverse presents: Celebrate Black History month. Day 27 Chuck Berry Charles Edward Anderson Berry (October 18, 1926 – March 18, 2017) was an American singer, songwriter and guitarist who pioneered rock and roll. Nicknamed the "Father of Rock and Roll", he refined and developed rhythm and blues into the major elements that made rock and roll distinctive with songs such as "Maybellene" (1955), "Roll Over Beethoven" (1956), "Rock and Roll Music" (1957) and "Johnny B. Goode" (1958). Writing lyrics that focused on teen life and consumerism, and developing a music style that included guitar solos and showmanship, Berry was a major influence on subsequent rock music. #blackhistorymonth #CreativeMultiverse #RockandRoll #ChuckBerry #art #artwork #artistofinstagram #artist #artistforhire #Custom #create #drawing #drawingaday #draweveryday #illustration #pencil #sketch #ink #colordrawing #Sketchcard #fabercastell #copic #twitchstreamer #blickartmaterials https://www.instagram.com/p/CpOew5tsdaH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Day 25 Henry Thomas Sampson Jr Henry Thomas Sampson Jr. (April 22, 1934 – June 4, 2015) was an American engineer, inventor and film historian who created the gamma-electric cell in 1972 — a device with the main goal of generating auxiliary power from the shielding of a nuclear reactor. On July 6, 1963, he was awarded a patent, with George H. Miley, for a variation of the gamma-electrical cell, a device that produces a high voltage from radiation sources, primarily gamma radiation, with proposed goals of generating auxiliary power from the shielding of a nuclear reactor. Additionally, the patent cites the cell's function as a detector with self-power and construction cost advantages over previous detectors. "On April 3, 1973, using the patented technology they created, Motorola engineer Marty Cooper placed the first public call from a cell phone, a real handheld portable cell phone. #blackhistorymonth #CreativeMultiverse #art #artwork #artistofinstagram #artist #artistforhire #Custom #create #drawing #drawingaday #draweveryday #illustration #pencil #sketch #ink #colordrawing #Sketchcard #fabercastell #copic #twitchstreamer #blickartmaterials https://www.instagram.com/p/CpOcwXNsl43/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

February 22, 2023 The Creative Multiverse presents: Celebrate Black History month. Day 22 Billy Dee Williams William December Williams Jr. (born April 6, 1937) is an American actor. He appeared as Lando Calrissian in the Star Wars franchise, first in the early 1980s for The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Return of the Jedi (1983), and thirty-six years later in The Rise of Skywalker (2019), marking one of the longest intervals between onscreen portrayals of a character by the same actor in American film history. He is also known for his advertisements for Colt 45, a malt liquor, for a five-year period starting in the mid-1980s; he would reprise his spokesperson role in 2016. Williams brushed off criticism—for the subtext of the ad campaign, 'works every time,' and the target audience—of the choice, "I drink, you drink. Hell, if marijuana was legal, I'd appear in a commercial for it." Colt 45 hired Williams "simply because he was so cool," and went from trailing behind Joseph Schlitz Brewing Company in barrels produced, to "skyrocketing" a year after the 1986 ads ran to two million barrels in the top spot for malt liquor. #blackhistorymonth #CreativeMultiverse #StarWars #EmpireStrikesBack #Colt45 #returnofthejedi #RiseofSkywalker #art #artwork #artistofinstagram #artist #artistforhire #Custom #create #drawing #drawingaday #draweveryday #illustration #pencil #sketch #ink #colordrawing #Sketchcard #fabercastell #copic #twitchstreamer #blickartmaterials https://www.instagram.com/p/CpOZvwcv5TY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

February 21, 2023 The Creative Multiverse presents: Celebrate Black History month. Day 21 George Washington Carver. George Washington Carver (c. 1864 – January 5, 1943) was an American agricultural scientist and inventor who promoted alternative crops to cotton and methods to prevent soil depletion. He was one of the most prominent black scientists of the early 20th century. While a professor at Tuskegee Institute, Carver developed techniques to improve types of soils depleted by repeated plantings of cotton. He wanted poor farmers to grow other crops, such as peanuts and sweet potatoes, as a source of their own food and to improve their quality of life. The most popular of his 44 practical bulletins for farmers contained 105 food recipes using peanuts. Although he spent years developing and promoting numerous products made from peanuts, none became commercially successful. #blackhistorymonth #CreativeMultiverse #art #artwork #artistofinstagram #artist #artistforhire #Custom #create #drawing #drawingaday #draweveryday #illustration #pencil #sketch #ink #colordrawing #Sketchcard #fabercastell #copic https://www.instagram.com/p/CpOYPb0viQ6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

February 20, 2023 The Creative Multiverse presents: Celebrate Black History month. Day 20 Nance Legins-Costley Nance Legins-Costley (c. 1813–1892), born Nance Legins Cox, an African American, was the first slave legally manumitted (freed) by attorney Abraham Lincoln, in 1841, twenty years before the start of the American Civil War. Nance was an African-American female slave who managed to have her case appealed to the Illinois Supreme Court three times before Lincoln successfully argued for her freedom, using the same Jeffersonian principle. Lincoln later signed into law “… that Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude shall exist…” in the state of Illinois and later in the entire United States and its territories. Nance Legins (Cox – Cromwell) Costley became the legal personification of the basic definition of slavery over a period of thirteen years. #blackhistorymonth #CreativeMultiverse #art #artwork #artistofinstagram #artist #artistforhire #Custom #create #drawing #drawingaday #draweveryday #illustration #pencil #sketch #ink #colordrawing #Sketchcard #fabercastell #copic #twitchstreamer #blickartmaterials https://www.instagram.com/p/CpOXocVsplZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
