If clouds could talk...

 

I enjoy giving everything in life a personality.  Creating a tiny back story and character to anything, big or small.  This is either used as a means to get a laugh or to create a personal attachment to said 'thing'.  This is just a little experiment in that concept.

Taking Risks

Life is all about taking risks.  In my opinion, I haven't taken enough of them.  I decided that I should depict how I feel about risk taking.  This picture was drawn when I was in Europe.
The idea behind the picture is that sometimes we have to jump from our stable platform onto something seemingly unstable.  As we do this, it is as if our brain shatters through the back of our heads and stays behind.  I often feel this mind numbing feeling when I take a leap.  For instance, when talking to an attractive girl.  However, in order to move forward in life, we often times have to take that leap.  Perhaps not a new thought but a new depiction. Here is version 1 of the final image. 

Let me know what you think!

My Personal Credo


After going to see the movie 'Beginners' this weekend and watching Stefan Sagmeister's TED talk, they inspired me to write down my own personal credo.  These are the things that I try to remind myself everyday.  I don't know about you, but it helps me to put these down.  I plan to print this out and hang this in my room so that I never forget.  Let me know what your personal credo includes and possibly some lines to add.  This is version 1.
