a 3 circle overlapping chart that says "im very unstable", "i want more money" and "im morally bankrupt" with the intersections being trump, ai art, and pyramid schemes, and the center being adobe software.

hmmm... #art #design

a note that says: hello all! i am still in the process of changing medications (from an SSRI to an SMS) and i have to say: it absolutely sucks. withdrawal symptoms from one med combined with onboarding symptoms from the new med is a real brain roller coaster - nothing unexpected or dangerous, but it is a miserable experience. i have been able to get into the studio a little bit here and there which is good, but once again among the biggest stressors of this whole process is the difficulty i have in accessing my creativity and ability to focus. i keep having brief flashes of ideas and directions, but accessing them more than superficially is proving very elusive, which is very frustrating. the good news is that i have people around me who care and are supportive — and i think that is why i continue to post about this process on here: hiding mental health issues makes them so much more difficult to deal with. if you are dealing with similar stuff, i implore you to let your friends and family know what is going on — it helps. a lot. thank you all as always for your support!

another update about my mental health. once again: i am posting this in the hopes that it de-stigmatizes MH and helps anyone out there who needs help but has been afraid or ashamed to get it. #mentalhealth

Coming from a theater background it’s been totally bizarre to me how many writers of books don’t understand it’s a social business

art is a community, and part of being an artist is being a part of that community: go to openings. see the work of your peers. talk with people about their work and your work. participate.

you might create work alone, but you and your art does not exist in a bubble.

ok how about this instead: i'll keep my air conditioning on and you can turn off all the machines generating AI "art."

i hate it here #typography

idea: "AI art offsets."

every time you use AI you have to put a few dollars into an account that you will spend buying art from human artists.

#art and #design is my passion

the creative process isn't magic. it's work. #art #design

how to make:

step 1: have an idea.
step 2: worry you will never have another idea.
step 3: have another idea.
step 4: repeat.

i have recently realized that the messier my studio is and dirtier i am at the end of my creative process, the more i enjoyed doing it. #art

toxic #design school mythologies:

grades are all that matter.
just do what the teacher tells you.
every project should be a portfolio piece.
non-major classes are a waste of time.
visiting guest lectures are optional.
history classes are useless.
do it just like famous designer x did it.

toxic #design mythologies:

when you love what you do it isn't work.
eat, breathe, & sleep design 24 x 7 x 365.
you can learn everything from youtube.
critique should be brutal.
hustle, hustle, hustle.
you have to have side projects.
you can sleep when you're dead.
only big name studios matter.

i just want to reach out and thank adobe for making sure i don’t spend too much time at my desk working and staring at my computer — having their software crash my entire computer randomly forces me to get up and take a walk pretty often so I really super appreciate it. #art #design
