Our guest today, Zandalee Indigo, is not only a fellow creative, but she has run how own blog for 4 years now.  She shares her thoughts on using humor in your artistic expression.

Check out the episode for the full discussion.

1.  It’s great as a means of expression

As an artist, you want to express yourself fully and who says you can’t have a little fun even as you’re commuting some deep, thought-provoking message.

2. It’s great if it is ALREADY a part of your branding

If humor is a natural part of what you do and t means that you’re fans are probably already expecting it and loving it.

1.  Can offend folks

It can terrible, if it offends that very people who are supposed to “get you” As you might know, sometimes things aren’t received well, due to the delivery or the cultural climate. In this case, just be sure that you are comfortable with possibly being perceived of poorly.

2.  Could be what you get known for

It can be terrible, if this is what you end up going viral for. –Again, the ONLY folks that know you, found out that you might seem culturally-insensitive, which could be a turn-off for newer, potential fans.
