P.M. -Start

P.M. - Start

This week starts the beginning phases of P.M. along with needed context into what comes next into the upcoming weeks and remainder of the year. I had recently released my first book last year that showcases my work over the span of 20 years, but there’s more material that has yet to be displayed.

P.M. will start from the beginning of my artistic journey to present day with my sketches, journals, videos, and images i’ve collected all these years. This is a huge project that will be released in the near future; announcement dates coming soon. P.M will cover my story so some order of release is planned into essentially a monthly publication. The format will be produced as a magazine with various pages of content including my personal writings and journals.

This idea spanned into something bigger since last year after finishing the editing to “The Artistic Letters” last September and knowing I had more to showcase. I work on art nearly every week and always producing newer pieces so this will allow for generally more content to be put out in a more organized manner.

P.M. will be labeled as issues by number and theme most likely. Still working on the labels for fonts and titles but everything is coming together. As I continue working this week on pieces for P.M. I will continue to post on the pacing of this massive project releasing soon. Stay tuned.

Date for release (TBD)

P.M. (Working title)

College days and urgency

Continuing from the previous post I mentioned how studying for a degree a few years back helped me to realize how precious the creative process is. Those long hours that resulted into more questions than answers when studying about design rather than actually working on something close to a comprehensive design. At this point, about 2 years in, studying was becoming monotonous and I started to crave a painting session.

Just a little insight to that particular time : Around fall of 2014 I enrolled into college and every weekend I was working doubles. Hours ranging from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m and on my days off was strictly class time doing coursework. There was never enough time as my schedule felt so cramped but I was determined to work to achieve some comprehension into what new skills I was learning. At this point I was not working on any paintings in my own free time and that went on until I dropped out. The drop out started with many key factors around 2016 which led to the decision to not return to college. Occurrences in my life just changed my mentality around this time and I became stuck in dreams/aspirations to understand real purpose for everyday life.

Some time after college I took the extra hours and focused on working on new pieces of art again; this was late 2016 - early 2018. I had switched jobs, no longer working doubles, and started to reimagine a clear path where I wanted to take my work to a more professional outlook. I had many pieces that were filed on my pc for archive reasons and I decided to start posting more work online. The next amount of coincidences led to more opportunities I could have never predicted.
