Absolutely no shame in using Canva. I am not above using it.

There are so many options now for art prompt projects in the month of October. This year, I’ve decided to join MassArt’s #MassArtober. The running theme for my work will be whatever the prompt is but….make it cute ? View the entire project here.
Always remember…
WBUR partnered with MassArt’s Professional Freelance Studio program to create a limited-edition tote bag that features work from a new up-and-coming Boston artist every year. Working alongside professor Irena Roman, we provided art direction and weekly feedback for the artists to interpret the station’s signature sound from their creative points of view.
It was an inspiring experience to be a part of.

luckily, we had no issues having this year’s hats delivered, but the labels sat in transit for a few days longer than expected even tho we opted for rush delivery.
Really excited about the upcoming WBUR thank you gifts.
One key takeaway from the Lu La Rich documentary? When the designer said that in order to avoid copyright infringement all that was required was to tweak an existing design by 20%. Ummmm….that’s it? Really disturbing.
Also, I wanted to hear more from the former designer, Iliana Estarellas. 100 print designs by the end of the day?!
“In our world, in the design end of it, it was a shit show.”
“You would think I had my ideal job. I get to make art for a living. Yeah, I was making art, but with a gun against my head.”
“That demand to pump out art with a gun against my head? You know, at the end of the day, I could at least say that it made me a better designer by being there.”
My right hand/arm are dead after some art production monkey work, aka separating out colors into layers + tracing so many objects. My brain is also fried from creating / subtracting a bajillion compound shapes.
The automated settings on Illustrator helped out tremendously but there was still a lot that just had to get done by “hand.”
I haven’t spent this amount of time on my Wacom pen + tablet in a long while.
