As a creative entrepreneur, I have always used my middle name, Trent, as a professional identifier. However, for my personal artwork, I have recently decided to use my first name, Elliot, as an alias. This decision reflects my desire to create a clear distinction between my professional and personal creative endeavors. This decision stems from a desire to embrace and reclaim my individuality and personal identity through my creative expression. By using my first name, I hope to infuse my artwork with a sense of vulnerability and authenticity that was not present in my previous work. reputation.
