Leather face + Fashion
Leather Faces > Inspired by fashion
>Iggy is not only an painter he is a designer .
Leather faces. is a combination of father and Son. leather faces began when i took one of my fathers leather sculptures and began designing hand bags as we created more and more handbags i began to learn the art of sculpting leather and in the year 2011 we created leather faces one of a kind leather sculpture handbags
the leather handbags have an urban essence to them , blending , contrasting, asymmetrical cuts, different materials and expressing a modern approach to art & fashion . iggys creations are inspired by everyday life, love and hate, joy and suffering etc. He has taken leather sculptures to a whole new level by making them into handbags which call the attention of all those who see these works of art in movement. One of iggys dream is to create works of art that inspire the fashion & art industry to innovate and create a new era of designwww.iggyarts.com

tips for artist and life
IGGY.ology - tips for artist and life "Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow." words fitting for a artist .... and and on that NOTE >>>> think about this Experience means nothing . Accomplishments are everything. You have "10 years in the in doing something ." Whoopee. I don't care how long you've been doing what you do. Years of doing indicate nothing; you could be the worst at what you - in the world.
as an artist I care about what you've done how youve evolved in style and your determination to make your dreams a reality : how art or risks projects or business have created, how many products have you designed, , how many people have seen your art etc ... all that matters is what you've done.
Successful people don't need to describe themselves using Crazy Freaking adjectives like passionate, innovative, driven, etc. They can just describe, hopefully in a humble way, what they've done and let their work speak for itself......www.iggy.com.co

Creating a (start-up ) Art-up culture
Some days, I genuinely wonder why I put myself through this torture of being an artrepreneur , and then I tell myself that in order to be happy, my road to self-actualization involves creating legacy, and the path to impact is tortuous. The truth is that its what makes me happy i might not be the most wealthiest artist or business owner but my time will come , you see unhappy people are less creative, productive and more likely to be unlucky. I frequently ask people to share with me the first image that comes to mind when I say "happy moment." This could be reading a book in a coffee shop(my favorite starbucks), a good conversation with a close friend or a challenging run at the gym or whatever . I then ask the question: "How many times per week do you have happy moments?" MAN! I am shocked to hear that more often than not, people tell me they can't remember the last time they had one of those! WTF i have happy moments all the time ! I believe----that successful art-ups or start-ups have happy people, which is a requirement for happy customers . Creating a Art -up (start-up ) culture in which happiness is a core value is very important IT IS THE MOST FREAKIN IMPORTANT PART! being happy . What's the worst that could happen, anyway? You might fail to launch a product, nobody like your new artwork, you get no hits on your website etc. but you will still walk away with happiness--it's not so scary after all.

YOU DON’T NEED TO BE PERFECT . (or to do pretty much anything.)
What I’ve discovered is that this “thinking everything needs to be perfect before you start” concept, is really just a MASK for someone’s fear. Thats why art is so perfect cuz the important thing is to start.........
It’s really just a mask for their fear of failure, fear of inadequacy, fear of putting themselves out there, fear of what others will think of them. FEAR.
So… in essence it’s complete B.S. When you think like this, you don’t really care that it’s “perfect”, you’re just coming up with an excuse for why you don’t need to face your fear.
Think about that. It’s life changing.
Because if you really want to move forward fast… you will go INTO your resistance. If you find something challenges you… you go INTO it. Not the opposite like most people, who run away.
If you’re afraid to get started because you feel “you don’t know enough yet”… that’s an EXACT sign you should go get started. It’s an exact sign you should go get started RIGHT NOW & just take some action.
I don’t care what it is… calling prospects, putting up ads, making videos, writing blog posts, 3-way calling…
… if you feel you aren’t “ready” to get started, that is the EXACT sign you need to get started right now.
