A Hunger

In college I had alot of free time. ALOT of free time, too much free time. So much time, in fact, that I would toy with the stray cats on my street in many, many devious ways. Shh, don’t tell PETA. But that is another story, or eh hem, confession.

Anyways, the point I was attempting to make is that lots of my free time, in college, was spent exploring Adobe Photoshop. I would make logos, computer wallpapers, graphics for shirts, and websites. Since my professional exploration I’ve been focusing more towards the web/programming end of my skills.

Lately, I’ve had a deep hunger for getting back to the graphics. Designing logos, layouts and such. Designing portraits, landscapes, and works of art. I’m going to focus in this area. I am most inspired by Bert Monroy’s work. He is truly a master.

In a timely post by Cyan Ta’eed of Freelance Switch she mentions…

Each industry has it’s experts. You look at their work and you feel a deep sense of disgust that some people can be so talented. Then you try to emulate them.

She’s right. I’m going back to the basics and getting inspired where I began this voyage.
