Moments by Charlie

Moments by Charlie is my small creative business and represents the online resource I wish I had when I got started. Somewhere I could come to for advice, tips, how-tos, tutorials and instructions on how to achieve particular a creative technique or skill, and the place I could come to for creative business help.

Somewhere I could come to and rest assured that I wasn’t the only one in the world doing things this way in this new era of online creative businesses. Even just a little comfort that the path I had carved out for myself was the right path and made sense somewhere, somehow.

It wasn’t easy. And it wasn’t necessarily hard either (when you put it into the context of what life can throw at you). But it was a lot of persistent, relentless action, mostly without any hope or defined outcome in sight. And if you’re used to well-defined inputs and outputs, walking a never-ending series of unknowns, maybes, and what-ifs, is certainly no paradise, and it helps to have a place of comfort to shelter in.

So I hope this place serves to make your journey in creative pursuits and/or creative business, different from mine.

Let it be the place to come to, to read the words of a fellow creative like yourself, and to know that there is someone out there just like you.

Sure, we may do things slightly differently, no two can be the same.

But trust me, you’ll come to appreciate how much value and comfort ‘similar’ provides when walking an unforged path.

This place is for you if you feel lonely in your creative journey and want some company. Somewhere you can cosy up on the couch and access a wealth of information, and feel comfort and pride at the fact that your ideas are valid. That somewhere out there, there is at least one other person just like you, with a similar solution to the same obstacle.

You may want to explore a little creativity yourself. Or glean more of a behind-the-scenes look at an artist’s life. Or perhaps you appreciate visual art and recognize the difference surrounding yourself with art you love, makes to your mood and quality of life. Whoever you are, there is room for you here.

Again, welcome to Moments by Charlie – a journey of creative pursuits (yours and mine).
