Crocs and walking alarm clocks: Alistair Nicholls embraces “pure silliness” in his self-funded claymation

Alistair Nicholls' whimsical claymation, "Running Late," offers a powerful lesson for emerging artists. Created "between paid commissions" and self-funded, Nicholls embraced "pure silliness" to depict a surreal morning routine. This inspiring example underscores the importance of carving out time for personal projects. Don't underestimate the power of your quirky, unfiltered ideas; they are crucial for developing a unique artistic voice and building a portfolio that truly reflects your vision. Allowing space for creative freedom, even amidst client work, can lead to your most original and memorable creations, proving that passion projects are paramount for growth. — Source: It's Nice That
