Description  ➝ muh Facebook island


Many upon times, I hope to make a positive impact to every person I come into contact with. The times that I get to see this happen are so special, and makes me want to go harder, and one-up everything I have done up to this point. It feels hectic at times, organizing the loads of ideas in my mind, and finding the best ones. The vulnerability too! Authenticity is perhaps my most cherished aspect of creativity, but damn, it feels dangerous at times. In anticipation for my long-term vision, I am going to explore as many fields as I can, visual art is just my first creative love. Whatever I dig into in the future, I will always be me.

*If you guys like my stuff, it would be super-appreciated if you shared it, help me infect the world!*

It's been a while since I broke out comments like these... *cracks knuckles*

First thing that caught my eye was the schedule. If that is your real schedule, then wow xD It's pretty organized and detailed. However, what's cooler about it is how it plays into the piece itself. The schedule implies that you have a timetable you are working from to advance your creative fields; however, you never specified any of those fields. From the piece (and based on what I know of you ) the earbud represents an interest in music, the small part of the book in the upper corner represents the written word, and the table, framed by the pencil and what can be thought of as paint, all point to visual art; both traditional and digital. The image itself that you created also has elements of texture that seem real, such as the drop of clear liquid (I assume water) and a piece of the cheek folding up, like paper, which could subtly imply that you are not satisfied with just the process of working to creating, but actually realizing your creative goals in a tangible result. 

Going back to the schedule, this can almost be seen, in light of the clues above, like your strategic plan to create what most identifies with you in all of the mediums above. Assuming the interpretation is correct, then I'm super stoked that you could "foreshadow" and imply all that in a piece and super look forward to all your efforts in each field. 

Needless to say, the description does lend my thought-process some credibility... but who knows? Maybe the image wasn't meant to be so deep xD

That is what my scheduled looks just like, a little piece of it. I do really love some solid organization, it helps keep my mind at ease. Sometimes a good schedule feels like a hammock my brain can gently swing in. As for that corner of the book up there, remember the book you bought me?
And the cheek area is a little lesson for myself, to not worry about so many strict rules when being creative, everything doesn't have to be perfectly designed and the anatomy can be incorrect if you want. That is my slowing moving to getting better at relaxing my analytical tendencies(I'm sure that is something you may think of from time to time, as well?). You are right though, about foreshadowing and that being about other creative fields, so much to look forward to!!

I tried sticking to a schedule and it's pretty hard, so seeing you stick to one is pretty impressive. I'd love to reach a level of ease too when it comes to managing my day. 

I do remember! Warren and I still want to discuss it with you when you get the chance. Let us know if/when you are free! I have to be honest though, it completely slipped my mind that it could be THAT. Just adds an extra layer of meaning to everything. 

(P.S. I was watching their videos again and found a certain someone we know acting like a jerk in the comments. I'll tell you about it later xD)

Yes, yes, and yes to the analytical tendencies. I think doing my sketch-a-day really helped to remedy that to a degree... but I still get the urge for perfection every now and then. Kinda like that snag analogy that I have yet to comment on xD. 

Super stoked for what's next on your "conquering" list xD

We got schedules, that book, an d a jerk to talk about! We gotta set a date and talk it out, I look forward to that! What is your schedule looking like in the next week or so?

ShinguAmito In reply to DenzelAJackson [2016-03-01 13:45:48 +0000 UTC]

hmmm, this week I think I'm relatively free on Thursday after 1:00 pm EST. I'll likely be hanging with Warren and Tony all day as I get work done. Let me know (preferably via text) when you are ready and I'll send the link your way. If Thursday doesn't work out, also let me know; I think I can make myself open on Friday as well. Not sure about next week right now, so those are the only days I can currently promise. Also... I've been talking to Chase. I have yet to do it, but I'm trying to skype with him sometime. I'll see if I can invite him to the hangout this week if I do get a hold of him.

This piece is just so original-the artwork on screen is fabulous from the loopy hair design to the skin fold and red eyes, and the detail on the outside leads the eye around the page, from the obvious and beautifully rendered pencil and headphones, to the subtle teardrops? on screen and table.  I love the flying paint as well! The shadows are so three dimensional and it really adds motion to the picture. Honestly, I am in awe. This is just fabulous work. Well done, from the heart.

Say that Denz! Let them know you aint gon compromise your creativity for the masses, do you play boi!
I love most the tally marks in the pencil, its hella reminiscent of drawing in class when I was post to be listing to a math lecture or something lol. I hella love that you put a transparency behind her lol, and that color blinding paint glop aint no joke dun, I don't know how you did that even a lil bit. Beautiful piece D.
