JUNE 17 -- My Dad's Birthday

I've posted this illustration before but because its my Dad's bday i rededicate this to him. love him

So i decided to experiment on my phone a bit today. That was my project for the day. Nothing spectacular but it could inspire some new idea at some point..who knows.

A lil fashion illustration i did for the heck of it. I love drawing sometimes and not having an idea of what i'm going to draw but just seeing what happens and going with it. This is what happened.

I must confess, the tree and owl drawing on my arm (its not a tatoo.. but i wish i could get it and it would vanish whenever i desired) i did a few weeks ago. The tattoo is just a dream of mine that will probably never happen...we'll see tho. A friend and I went on a road trip one day and stopped by this park where we saw this tree. I loved the carved "typography," and how the letters kinda fade down and disintegrate. Quite inspiring. And the other images are just places I've been today--panera, my room....annnd no where else.

INSPIRATION/ NEW GOALS

Went to NC this weekend for my cousin's graduation. Sketched a bit. Talked to some fam members and friends to get some "next step" advice. Crazy/odd/exciting transition time for me and i wanna make the best of, well, this life. Im realizing that i dont have to squeeze everything within a year! Plan it out and things will transition as they will. Put in the work and not forget the things that are most important. Cant lose sight of myself, my dreams, and the people that are most imporant in my life.



Was on behance.net and there was this post of someone who made something new everyday. And this is a my new goal. Today I'm just going to use a sketch i made from the weekend (above). Tomorrow, we shall seeee! Not sure how long this will last but its worth a Go!

INSPIRATION! INSPIRE-ation. inpiratiooonnnnnnnn

RANDOM THOUGHT: this probably came from watching my friend Jasmine Coles (who is by the way an AMAZING actress) do her solo performance. but anyway, i was like, is it a choice to be in love? or maybe a choice to act on the feeling? is it controllable or preventable once you feel it? i donnoooo..ive never been..but just thinkinnng.

BUT please check out that site! i've chosen to luv it
