Just finished listening to a fantastic online session with Rick Griffith for/with AIGA. How many webinars have you signed up for during this pandemic, but never really logged in for? Even the most well-intended can only sit through so many. The topics sound wonderful and of course this is the perfect time for reflection and self-improvement, right? But... Happy that I did for this one. Sometimes you need to be reminded that you are not alone, and when you struggle to create and engage, there are others you can reach out to for inspiration and encouragement. Feeling reinvigorated and having the need to go back to old habits of reading, research, and exploration. If those are habits that need going back to, then sign me up! Check out Rick's most recent collab. 12 Black artists, 24 protest posters, 1 message: Black Lives Matter. https://fineacts.co/blm?fbclid=IwAR0h1YDGLNWjYvF1JHcQedHkh9lvRNSxgQ5uw6cIS82Bk3rwzHxF29nWiRk Oh, and if you missed the June 27th Where are the Black Designers? seminar, boy did you miss a good one!

ART HEALS.
If protesting is not your ministry, or you simply can't find the right words, a visual representation of your emotions to mark this moment in time is a healthy way to navigate this atmospheric shift. Admittedly, my homemade cardboard protest sign was probably a bit much, but hey, that's me! This way of communicating for most artists is their lifeline. I am not the most comfortable on the conference call, but I do know that putting my thoughts and ideas on paper, whether written or visual, is where I find my freedom. Add some music to the mix, and that's a wrap. That's art too you, you know? Find what works for you. Take a moment to check out some artwork from the past few weeks: |
