When It's Time For You To Draw Something Beautiful - Production Diary
This is the start of a blog series I’ll be making where I post some behind the scenes, stills, and gifs from shorts that premiere on my social media. These shorts take a lot of work, but I hope these diaries can help illustrate some of the effort I put into making these.
Year 1 - Moment of My Time
The development of this series was a bit more convoluted than my other stuff. I knew I wanted a third class of content to produce, but I didn’t have much else to go on. I started working on the idea way back in the spring. Unlike the storytime shorts, or meme stuff I didn’t have much to go off of in the development of this series. That said, I did have some ground rules:
Year 1 - Memes
In this blog I will be talking a bit about my meme content, and giving some insight into the backend work it took to make it.
Year 1: Storytime
2022 has been a crazy year (for many, many reasons), but what I’m going to be talking about today is my story time content. I’ll be making a blog for each family of content in celebration of making it through 1 year of posting.
Does Suffering Make For Better Art
Welcome readers. This is a blog I’ve been wanting to write about for a little while. I used to hear all the time about how an artists best work is linked to their suffering. I think this is a fallacy, and people are way too comfortable with letting artists suffer just because they assume the end result will somehow be magnified. Personally, I see this as an excuse to pay artists poorly because some people are simply cheap. In addition to that, I would disagree that an artists best work comes from suffering. I think it’s the opposite. Someone who is of healthy mind, body, spirit, and finances, will be able to make the best work that they can possibly make.
Dual Screen Tech Has Me Excited
Welcome back readers. The last few years have shown us that tech companies are really investing in new ways to interact with their devices. There are many new categories of devices such as: wearables, virtual reality, augmented reality, biometrics, and so on. The category I am currently most interested in is dual screen phones. I think the other tech spaces are very intriguing, but I’ve always loved dual screen setups, and to have that power on the go is something that I think will be pretty convenient to have in the future.
How Social Media Will Hold Your Art Back
Hello all. This blog has been stewing in me for a while. I’ve been on social media since it started with facebook (yes I’m old), and I think I have enough experience with it now, and in relation to having a creative spirit social media, to give some insight. Of course, I can only speak from my own perspective, so keep that in mind.
