Interview With Shilohs
A short interview from  Artist Interviewed: Shilohs A.k.a Charlotte Salomon 1. When did you consider yourself to be successful in your field? OR How do you measure personal success as an artist? I don't think I ever stop to ask myself If and when am I successful. I am still new in the industry and I imagine in 20 years I will still be new! Everything moves so fast it’s all a matter of keeping up with the software and developments. I do value feedback immensely, as an artist in any field would understand how important it is to know how the viewers see your work. If people like what I do, that is success itself. 2. What are some important things you have learned along the way? Accept criticism and be your own worst critic. I am the first to point out faults in my work, I was taught to pull it apart before someone else does. It sounds awfully harsh, but it really goes without saying. This is a driving force behind all good artists. 3. What business practices have you learned? I studied business at university however the discipline of freelance is something you never get taught. I must admit, at times I struggle with timing and money talk. Putting a price on yourself is a sensitive decision especially for newbie’s. 4. Do you have an artist's rep. or do you hire someone for your business/office duties? Not currently. 5. Do you use the press to assist you? (I.e. press release, advertisements) Any particular publications? Is it a regular schedule? Yes, I do. I use Facebook, DA, Youtube, Horse and Hound and my website. Anywhere I can plug I get my work out there. If you are not with an Agency, you really have to push! 6. Do you feel you have tapped into any unusual markets? Haha. No I don’t think so, I am an animal artist and it’s very popular. 7. Has licensing or copyright ever been an issue? It always will be. Only for media releases, it’s because of the royalty issues, for using the images it’s one price... for owning the rights to the piece it is considerably more expensive. It’s just a case of dotting I’s and Crossing T’s. 8. Do you supplement your art with an additional career to support yourself ? No. 9. What are your greatest inspirations as an artist? I would love to be able to brand myself, that’s the business woman in me. However it’s an area I haven’t worked on design wise yet, Art branding is a totally separate industry from freelancing. One day. 10. What main processes do you follow in the production of your work? I throw paint down in layers, it’s a long process, I rarely use sketches or line art I just go straight in and shade away. 11. What would your greatest piece of advice be for aspiring artists? Get and edge, find a style that you are comfortable in and progress. 12. What is your favourite piece of the work you have done and why  Zephyr. I just love the colours, it just works.13. What do you do when you are uninspired for art? Or are you always inspired? I usually go 2 weeks at a time where I am totally uninspired, and if you have commissions pilling up that’s tough, just got to get over it and force it, it’s not fun or easy but you have clients relying on you. |
