CAPTAINS:LOG 001

Captains Log: It’s 6:36am. I made this graphic yesterday morning around this time. I call it “Wanderlust”. It’s the best I could come up with. 

I’ve had this “You can give me the frame but you can’t tell me where to paint” kind of mentality recently and my work has definitely reflected that. I swear it’s not out of rebellion, it’s more an extension of what I’ve been able to pull out of myself perspectively; A search for how I actually feel. 

I know it to be true that I use graphic design as a way to cope with my inability to illustrate. And the worst part is... I don’t even try to draw. I pride myself on my mental toolbox but I spread myself thin creatively feeding my wandering lust for new ways to make me feel fulfilled through my work.

 I’ve learned to be more productive over the years to cope with my growing desire to create; and with my increased awareness I’ve found a responsibility to “paint within the lines” and use my creativity to make a living for myself but I’ve painted myself into a box thinking I always needed to be the only one filling the canvas. 

I hope to open up in 2019. Take it slow and really decide what 2020 should look like. I’ve never done that and I just made the time.
