I'm struggling with my portfolio, as in, it doesn't exist yet and I don't like the vast majority of my work anymore.
It's at a point where I forget I have to have one, remember and panic, then forget about it for a bit longer.
I think this is telling to where my head is at the minute. Whilst I love drawing and making work, I don't see myself as an illustrator, I can see myself as a professional creative but not one with concept and strong portfolio talk-pieces, and I'm okay with that, in fact I am where I want to be. I am making work, I have lined up my career in tattooing once I graduate and I am enjoying painting and making mistakes in preparation for that, and getting better.
The one thing that is pulling me back is how this all fits into the Learning Outcomes of these two final modules.
This is probably the nicest piece of work i've done in a while, it combines my love of tattoo flash and getting better at it, and making finished work to take to print.
The only problem is it has NO context, because a lot of tattoo flash doesn't, it's more about making it aesthetically pleasing and having straighter than straight lines because if you can't paint one, how can you tattoo one?
Basically, I'm struggling to link all my shit together, in a tutorial with Ben he told me to go with it, make everything now about tattooing but then I know I'll get pulled up for lack of context and content.
I don't know what to do, and what I need to do to not fail this course.
