[…] draw plainer designs without my Little Mo character. I wrote about that experience in my blog post art vs art a couple years […]

Hi Helena,

Little Mo and friends is fantastic and I think it is adorable the way it is.
Keep up your good work Helena, you do a marvelous job.
It is Australian artists like you who have inspired others (like myself) to sell products.
cheers,
Kate

Oh don’t worry about it Helena… criticism can truly motivate you to know more about yourself, art or simply what you want.

To quote from what I read on a magazine… “Trash all the positive comments, because you already know that, it will only make your ego big . But read more of the bad ones, for they can motivate you to stand up and be humble.”

…what they all said!! We love you and Little Mo at our house and wouldn’t want you to do anything you weren’t 100% happy with. We look forward to the day you announce your book release and would love to be wearing Little Mo tshirts too xxx

Helena, your style was the reason I was drawn to your work. I was able to relate to it very well. Probably because my style is somewhat the cutesy style. But then, thats what sets you apart from others. I could recognize your style anywhere.
Keep plugging away , do what you do best, and you will reach new heights. Good luck !

Hi Helena,
it’s easy to get side track with what other people might say. The true is that you just keep on doing what you doing and make it perfect everytime you make it. People who love your art/work will see your passion towards what you love doing and it will paid off eventually. Please yourself and not others. Just so you know your work inspired me to be as good as yours. Keep up the good work!

I agree with the many who have already commented. You have such a great style which is easily recognisable as yours. Many other artists would give their right arm for this! Yes, I guess its a downside that with a distinctive style not everyone will be a fan, but then if everyone’s art looked the same the world would be incredibly boring. I think you can still always continue to develop your own style and take it down differnet paths but ultimately, you need to be happy with what you’re producing or you’ll lose heart and end up not enjoying yourself (and that will probably show in your work too!).

Oh so true Karen, to be honest sometimes at markets I get the feeling that some people feel shy or embarrassed to come by my booth because it looks too cute and they are all grown ups. But I like your description of innocence and childhood! xoxox

Helena
You stay strong and stay yourself! Your style is beautiful and enviable. The innocence of Little Mo is sadly something we all lose when becoming grown-ups. Don’t go blending in to the abyss. xo
