What It Means to Be an Oddfish - #1

Hey, you. Yeah, you—the artist who’s ever felt like you don’t quite fit in. The one with wild ideas, messy sketches, and dreams that feel a little too big, too bold, too out there. Welcome to Oddfish Energy. This space was made for you.

Being an Oddfish isn’t about being perfect, polished, or safe. It’s about being fearless. It’s about sketching loudly, making bold choices, and standing out in a world that keeps telling you to blend in.

I know what it’s like to feel like your art is “too much.” Too weird. Too loud. But here’s the thing: that’s exactly what makes it amazing. Your quirks, your bold ideas, your messy creativity—that’s your superpower. Forget trying to fit into some cookie-cutter mold. You’re here to disrupt, to challenge, to make the art that only you can make.

The Odd Mindset

Let’s get one thing straight: odd is iconic. If you’ve ever been afraid to show your work, worried it’s not “good enough” or “polished enough,” I’m here to tell you—forget that noise. Being Odd means embracing the chaos. Every great idea starts as a scribble. Every masterpiece starts as a mess.

Picasso? He had sketchbooks filled with wild, unfiltered doodles. Basquiat? He painted fast, raw, and unfiltered. They didn’t wait for perfection, and neither should you.

Why We Make Noise

You might be wondering, why “Sketch Loudly”? Because art isn’t quiet. It’s not about staying in the lines or keeping things tidy. Art is about expression. It’s about making your voice heard. And I’m here to encourage you to take up space with your art. Don’t whisper your ideas—shout them.

So, here’s my challenge to you: this week, I want you to create something bold. Something messy. Something that makes you feel a little scared to share. Post it, tag us, and own it. That’s what being Odd is all about—taking risks, embracing your quirks, and showing the world what makes you stand out.

What Happens Next?

Over the next few weeks, we’re diving into the Odd journey. We’re going to talk about how to break through creative fear, how to make your art stand out, and how to turn your messy ideas into something unforgettable. You’ll meet artists who are doing things their own way—fearless creatives who’ve embraced their weird and made it their strength.

But for now, I want you to take a deep breath and remember: you’re not here to blend in. You’re here to disrupt. You’re here to make noise. You’re here to be Odd.

Let’s make something wild together.

Sketch Loudly. Stay Iconic.
