This is my Blog. I call it “Captains:Log” Therefore, it is known as Clog.
“I saw what everyone else was doing and realized that it’s not enough for me to just ‘be a musician.’ I slowly started to understand that the new wave of artists and musicians are going to be well rounded professionals; having a hand in every aspect of their creativity.”

There is an entire world of people fighting everyday to be relevant and I’ve been willfully ignoring it because I didn’t want to participate in age appropriate creative processes. Because I’ve always catered to family friendly media I’ve never taken a chance on thinking creatively.
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 poured my creativity into creating digital marketing material helping businesses kickstart their digital advertising; and it was genuinely fulfilling... But about six months ago I realized that I had not picked up an instrument to practice or play for almost two years, and I couldn’t bear to keep living that way.
Thank you so much to everyone who has helped me become the person I am. I can’t believe how my life is turning out.

What if religion frowned apon future telling not because it was fake but because by defining the path directly ahead limits the infinite potential of everything your future could have brought if it remained undefined?
In the moment these experiences are deeply profound and shape who I am as a creator.

I’m starting to forget the excuses I’ve made for not making my own art consistently.
It’s not stopping anytime soon so unfollow me if you hate it. 😂
If it's "off brand", make it "on brand". If you think it will be too much work... tough.
Just because you love your cousin's ska band doesn't mean everyone else will love them too. Also, you love the song doesn't mean it's the right song to be played in your business.
You might want to get your phone out... This is going to be nuts.
