We were lucky to catch up with Teddy Scribblez recently and have shared our conversation below.

Teddy, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today We’ve love to hear an interesting investment story – what was one of the best or worst investments you’ve made? (Note, these responses are only intended as entertainment and shouldn’t be construed as investment advice)

Best investment has to be my drawing tablet. I had no intentions of being fully enveloped in digital art but it was something that slowly made me want to draw. I thought maybe I can go back and forth but I realized most of the tangible things I want to make, is a little easier with digital.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

I first got into this craft as an outlet whenever I was feeling down or upset. As time went by, I started getting into anime and wanted draw those characters and make my own stories. Eventually it became a hobby. It’s still a hobby. It pays sometimes.

For clients and my other works, I use an xppen tablet and sketchbook pro. Sometimes I use clip studio paint for cleaning up the lineart. I work on album covers, book covers and logo designs.

I want clients to know that if you look at my work you’re here for my style. I want you to leave with my style. Not with something that looks like someone else. I want to you stand out not blend in with the crowd. My brand is all about being in a box but thinking outside of said box.

We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?

Learning when to not be emotionally attached to my art when it comes to client work. I’ve had back and forth with clients about the direction of the design. I give the clients multiple options to choose from. Clients always pick a reference I’m unfamiliar with or i don’t normally design. The client always picks the design that I’m not too excited about. I’ve had to learn to take direction and not complain. I find doing little doodles for myself also keeps me from getting frustrated and or bored.

For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?

I find having a good supportive friend and family is the most rewarding. Strangers are surprisingly supportive too.. As an artist, this craft is a very lonely experience. It’s just you and the canvas. So it feels good to get that feedback or that cheering section for your efforts.
