Tip of the Day: Doubters and HatersBefore you start off your career (or perhaps you just started your career) there tends to be more doubters and haters around you.
Most doubters and haters lurk at the bottom because they're too fearful or ignorant to try.
Sometimes many of our biggest doubters aren't bottom lurkers but our relatives or friends. Most of the time they mean well but they are not YOU. They don't know what you are capable of.
For many people, you are your worst hater and doubter. The only way you can find what you're capable of is by trying your absolute hardest. True failure comes from not trying!
Sending positive vibes to you all!

Tip of the Day: Measuring SuccessI don't consider my work a success by how much the movie made in the theaters or if it won any Oscars. Success to me is measured by the amount of effort I put into the project.
You can't always control the outcome but you can control the amount of effort you give. Don't worry about things beyond your control.
Sending positive vibes to you all!

Tip of the Day: Making PlansAlways have a plan. At the very least it's a great start off point. Then look for fate to guide you in the right direction. The best plans are the ones that have room for adjustments.
Sending positive vibes to you all.

Tip of the Day: attracting great thingsGreat things are around the corner if you keep trying hard and keep a positive attitude.
I can't tell you how many times amazing things have happened because I kept a positive attitude even though I had no good reason to stay positive.
Sending positive vibes to you all!

Tip of the Day: Beginning your daySketch as soon as you wake. You'll always have a good drawing day if you do.
I always found it to be harder to paint if I start painting in the afternoon instead of first thing in the morning.
Sending positive vibes to you all!

PS. Some people have mentioned in the last couple journal entries that I should write a book with advice for artists... I have. It's called "The Perfect Bait." More info here --> http://www.theperfectbait.com

Tip of the Day: Think to EvolveThe biggest successes come from evolution. Evolution comes from breaking rules. Be different. Think differently.
New technologies and ideas bring new opportunities and possibilities constantly so keep your eyes open!

Tip of the day: The darkest momentsThe moment to shine the brightest is in darkness. Darkness can bring chaos but with it comes opportunity. Many times throughout my career when I pushed past the point when I'd usually give up, this is when I end up achieving my biggest successes. Fate seems to have a way to test us and only the ones that want it the most shall receive the fruits of their labor.
Sending positive vibes to you all!
Bobby

Tip of the day: Spend time wiselyA lot of times the most important things in life take about the same time as the unimportant things. What is something important that you can do more of? What's something that you can do less of?
Sending positive vibes to you all!
Bobby

Tip of the DayMany times if we don't know how to do something or achieve something we feel it's not doable. Successful people will find a way even if they don't know the answer at first. Sometimes the best way to find the right way is to try as many ways as you can think of. The road to success is paved with failures. Stay positive!
Sending positive vibes to eveyone!

Tip of the Week: VisualizingWhen you visualize the task before you do it, it makes it that much easier to accomplish and accomplished better. Especially for drawing and painting. Before I work on a film, I take about 10 or 20 minutes staring at something dark or close my eyes to try and visualize the movie before I start painting.
I believe that visualizing is the hardest and most powerful way to think. With conscious and persistent practice you can improve your ability to visualize.

Tip of the Day: Making DecisionsTip of the Day: Making Decisions
People that achieve great things don't look for the easiest way to do it. They look for the right way.
Making the right decision sometimes makes all the difference.
How are you going to spend your day today?
Sending positive vibes to you all!

Tip of the Day: Sharing KnowledgeDon't be afraid to share your knowledge. You'll learn even more through teaching what you know.
Not just that but I feel that people who share, end up gravitating towards others that like to share.
Sending positive vibes to you all!
Bobby

Tip of the Day: Developing StyleDon't think what kind of style do people want. Just be yourself and search for knowledge. Style develops through knowledge.
Sending positive vibes to everyone!
Bobby

Tip of the Day: Understanding what you're doing.Always strive to understand more and more about what you are doing. I tend not to paint anything I don't understand or know how it's supposed to feel.
If you paint or draw something that you don't understand, anyone that does understand will know right away that you didn't.
See you soon Sao Paulo! http://www.melies.com.br/mega-palestra/programacao.html

Tip of the Day: Dealing with Stress

Journal Entry: Thu Jan 19, 2012, 10:19 AM

Stress is the root for many health problems. It's not necessary. Just do what you need to do. Stop stressing.

In high pressure situations if I start stressing I will think what is the worst that could happen and how could I bounce back from that. Once I see that I would still be ok and be able to come back from that difficulty... then the stress disappears. Then I start imagining what would it feel like to be successful and that gets me excited to continue towards my goals.

Stress is something that everyone deals with in their own ways but if you don't have an effective way to deal with it, feel free to try my method.

Bobby
