Tracy Lee Stum<\/a> has been street painting since 1998. Having made a name for herself, she was a cultural ambassador for the US Embassy and now manages a team that can run festival-level art projects. She also conducts educational workshops for those who want to dabble in 3d art.<\/p>\n

No stranger to corporate branding, Tracy was part of the team that produced the An Impossible Made Possible <\/em>Honda ad<\/a> which won a 2013 Cannes Gold Lion award.<\/p>\n

Check out the behind the scenes<\/a> look of this iconic commercial to see the artists at work. We contacted Tracy about featuring her work and got to ask her a few questions. Here\u2019s what she has to share with Hongkiat.<\/p>\n

Question: Passion, talent, hard work: Which is more important?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Answer: Passion is most important but hard work is really what drives the passion. Passion without follow-through is nothing. Hard work helps you stay focused on goals. Talent is a given although that could change at any point in your life.<\/em><\/p>\n

Q: Can you tell us about your process?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A: I typically have sketch books<\/strong> with lots of rough design ideas jotted down for future use. Once I decide on a subject matter, I spend a day or three sketching and conceptualizing the image. After this I will usually take a few days to one week to create rough design concepts. After these are reviewed, I take another couple of days to finalize the image for production. Production can take from 1 week to 3 weeks, depending on the project.<\/em><\/p>\n

Q: Which of your project is the hardest?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A: The hardest projects are the large team projects. This is because you are managing artists as well as working yourself, so this creates much more work for the organizing artist.<\/em><\/p>\n

Q: Do you have any advice for new artists?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A: My advice is to find others to mentor you<\/strong>. Hone your skills but be aware that those who came before you probably have a lot of great info and recommendations to share. Stay authentic! <\/strong>Find your own unique creative voice and use it<\/strong>. The world wants to know who you are<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Q: What\u2019s next for you? Anything we can look forward to?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A: I had just released my first book on chalk art called \"The Art of Chalk\" by Quarto Publishing. I hope to be creating a large museum installation later this year (2016) as well.<\/em><\/p>\n
