ABOUT ME
Creativity Lies In The Process
I always thought I could be the kind of artist who would just pick up a brush and face a blank canvas and create something beautiful without thinking about it twice. Until I realized that that almost never happens. Even with real artists.
I started to approach all creative work from a logical point of view. This method of planning and following a process has not only helped me churn out better work but also actually finish the art projects I would pick up.
