PLAYING-IT-SAFE 51. Navigating your way through creative perfectionism
One way in which we play-it-safe is by delaying projects, tasks, and shooting for perfection.
In this conversation, visual illustrator, Janis Ozolins, shares how he handles self-doubtful thoughts, perfectionist tendencies, and negative feedback when sharing his illustrations on his platform.
It was special to hear from Janis how he, as a content creator, navigates the internal discomfort that comes when exposing your creative work to the world. An important aspect of Janis’ work is his desire to create value in his illustrations, which can be challenging when your mind pushes you to play-it-safe.
