Hope Everyone is having a good Labor Day!
Took some time to do a personal digital study based on a photo I took this weekend on my way to one of my favorite parts of the city.
As an artist It is definitely important to take some time to do some art for yourself, creative or academic, both can help with the fuel needed to be productive and creative professionally. The process may also give some good peace of mind and a break, even from something you love.
Additionally, as the industry and the world at large have a lot of rapidly changing factors and effects on us, it is important to stop and take a beat for yourself when you can. It is very easy to get caught in the sometimes rigorous/relentless personal and professional struggles we all face. I think the term 'stop and smell the roses' is a little overused, but the general idea of finding something to take your mind off of stress and relax with something is absolutely important.
I definitely had a nice full weekend with friends and loved ones, but making time to make something 'for yourself' regardless of what it is, is important.
Take care if yourself, do a lil' art!
