    Peaceful coexistance between man and nature … beautifully sensitive. I have been looking through your portfolio and I admire your versatility.

    shanmclean, 5 months ago

    I am wondering if having a little versatility is a bad thing?? looking through so many wonderful artists on redbubble, many seem to have their own ‘style’. My work is all over the place! lol

    Versatility is a good thing…just another tool in your belt, so to speak. Focus on your favorites, but don’t limit yourself. The more you do, the sooner you’ll realize your own style!

  • John Brotheridge

    John Brotheridge, 4 months ago

    Nice work Shan’ I can see you are trying all sorts of medium to find your own style which is great. You are clearly enjoying your art which is the most important thing. Your own expression, style, view of what’s around you will come through regardless. Keep up the good work and have a go at everything.

    Hands are so hard to draw, you have done such a good job.
    I work in a variety of media and find that things I discover in one media can input into others. looking forward to what you come up with next.
