End of Summer 2021

Greetings!

It's been quite a while since my last post, and a lot has happened between the end of 2020 and now! I am quite the professional procrastinator, and it has certainly caught up with me this year.

At the beginning of 2021, I had a vision to release 4 collections this year; one for each season. However, what I didn't anticipate was how much I would push back my plans due to laziness and other extenuating circumstances (but mostly procrastination). This put quite a damper on my mood, and killed my motivation to make any artwork whatsoever. That, coupled with working 12+ hour days drastically sapped my energy and put everything on hold. Now, though, I am back on track and have some great ideas planned for the next release.

During the month of October, I will be releasing a Halloween collection in collaboration with two extremely talented artists. I'm extremely stoked to show all of you what they've come up with, and I'm sure the results will be outstanding. For now, though, my sights are set on polishing this website and adding more to my portfolio. Other art projects are going to be put on hold for the time being, as one of my biggest battles at the moment is organizing not only my physical work space, but my virtual one as well. Organization has never been my strong suit, and I believe that now is the time to turn all that around and get my ducks in a row.

I still don't plan on having a regular schedule for blog posts or any other endeavors, however I aim to be more consistent in order to keep myself accountable. With that being said, for the time being, realistically, I have just one more release planned this year, which is the aforementioned Halloween themed collection. I also aim to add at least three more pieces to my portfolio by the end of the year, and to get a good head start on my filming and video editing plans.

I'll do my best to keep y'all updated as often as possible. Thank you all for your continued support, it means more than you can imagine. :)

a new beginning

Welcome!

This page will be used to post progress of my creative endeavors, and to mark what I feel are important milestones in my art journey. I'm quite excited to turn this new leaf, and to finally put my dreams and ideas into motion.

After 3 months of working on this website on and off, I'm proud with how it's turned out, and feel confident sharing it with other people. There's still a lot of tinkering to be done to perfect this site, and eventually a whole new intricate web space will be created. For now though, this will do nicely.

At the moment, I have yet to add anything to the portfolio page, as I don't have any good photos of artwork I would deem worthy to be on there. I hope to have at least one thing up there by the end of January, and will be releasing new clothing designs at the beginning of each season, starting with Spring 2021.

I plan on branching off into video content creation, including animation, and hope to be able to explore those concepts soon. I also hope to start uploading to YouTube within the next month or to, just to have some video documentation of my art process, and maybe comment on some things while I'm at it.

For the time being, my creative energies will be focused on working on my book series, sculpting, and a painting I've been wanting to start for a while, but haven't, due to making sure this website was ready before the end of 2020. Now that I have though, I'm ready and excited to change things up and work with a different medium, especially one I'm not too comfortable with.

For now, there will be no regular update schedule as I have a lot of other things going on in life that have to take priority first.

A special thanks to Garret and Kevin Ferguson for designing my logo and helping me with the creation of the website respectively.

Thanks for joining me on my journey to become a better artist, and have a great rest of your day!
