Everyday is the best day ever

Hey, so after a week long spell of not making hardly anything at all, I've finally gotten the courage to break my artist block. After having some pretty enlightening conversations about creativity and productivity, I realized that I'm thinking too much about my art and art in general and trying to achieve too many impossible goals. I remembered that all I really needed to do was just enjoy the process of creation. Just stay positive! Easy. One of my favorite mantras:

It really was!

Now that I got that out of the way, I'm able to start working on projects stress free! Currently, I'm drafting up a mural for this place that I freelance at. I just started drawing it out tonight. Here are some grainy previews. Enjoy!

Drawer

My "Drawer" drawing is featured in this Monday's edition of Storychord, an online publication featuring up and coming artists, musicians, and writers.

The drawing is an assortment of knick knacks from my old house in Santa Cruz. It later became a color litho/wood block print.
