We recently connected with Jacob Turley and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Jacob, thanks for joining us today. Learning the craft is often a unique journey from every creative – we’d love to hear about your journey and if knowing what you know now, you would have done anything differently to speed up the learning process.
It takes a lot of time, self dedication, and repetition to become a professional creative. Building up an Art career takes a lot of patience. There’s nothing you can really do to speed the process but put your nose to the grindstone. Especially if you do not have an agent for freelancing it can be a daunting task to find work. Some skills that are most essential to being an artist are consistency and being relentless. One of the biggest obstacles that could be stopping you could be yourself. You have to be able to self analyze and make sure you’re spending your time wisely doing the best you can to push yourself into your chosen career field.
Jacob, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
My name is Jacob Turley and I am an illustrator and graphic designer working based out in the Kansas City area. I have been drawing ever since I could pick up a pencil so naturally it was my chosen career choice. I provide services that involve anything that has to do with with illustration or design. Whether it be illustrating a children’s book, helping out with product design, logos, branding, you name it I can do it. I solve any and all creative problems my clients mIght have. I am most proud of how far I’ve came as an artist, I always strive to self improve as much as possible.
In your view, what can society to do to best support artists, creatives and a thriving creative ecosystem?
Always try to support local artists and businesses in anyway they can.
Is there mission driving your creative journey?
I’m really aiming to became an established brand or artist not only on social media but in the Kansas City area. I want to be an artist that is sought after for work and people are happy to be working with me. I also want to be able to have a self sustained career in the arts.
