The Art of the Personal Project is a crucial element to let potential buyers see how you think creatively on your own. I am drawn to personal projects that have an interesting vision or that show something I have never seen before. In this thread, I’ll include a link to each personal project with the artist statement so you can see more of the project. Please note: This thread is not affiliated with any company; I’m just featuring projects that I find. Please DO NOT send me your work. I do not take submissions.
Today’s featured artist: Cade Martin
The Chelsea.
An eclectic and electric icon in a city brimming with icons.
Written. Wolfe. Twain.
Shouted. Vicious. Pop.
Whispered. Keroac. Cohen.
Sang. Dylan. Hendrix.
Too alive with tall tales, deep secrets and notable guests not to photograph.
New York City. Even in the most seen city, there is adventure in chasing a what-might-be-around-the next-corner feeling. My favorite work is often something that catches me in the moment, scratching the itch of the unexpected in an obscure corner of an unknown town, or on the west Side of Manhattan. I wasn’t planning on it, but the Chelsea was spinning tales that I had to listen to.
