So let’s continue with the old monkey business. A demo done for the Illustration Academy. “Tik, tink, tik”

Way back I did this painting as part of the Earth Day celebration for the Society of Illustrators. “Narwhal Rain” was a pivotal piece for me.

Rosy Fingered Dawn, Child of The Morning
Sometimes I think I will be alone forever.
Maybe the universe has heard my heart.
Maybe there are a lot of coincidences in life.Someday, someone will appear
Through the glacier in the heart
Found out that I am waiting for him.

I am throwing my own body in the ocean full of giant whales with sharp teeth to rip my body off as if it never existed. I want to let the wolves have the big sacrifice and feast on it as they’ve been longing for. Here, in this place where they kill, I found love. I’ve found it where it wasn’t supposed to be.
The last time I saw her she was blooming like daisies, wearing a weary smile, cloaked in hopeless gown of despair. She told me she was scared of something -or someone. Her dreams caught the best of her, fell down trying to fly so high. She told me she had left God behind and she was ashamed. The last time I saw her, she was fading but she was alive. They killed her. Piece by piece. Second by second. The last time I saw her I could hear her breathing ashes of her broken soul.
I know I have to let this go. My mind is telling me to run and never look back. But my heart, oh my heart -it’s badgering my soul to sink deep in the ocean of my cloaked emotions. Words do not narrate my subtle life, but moments do. I exist not in this life. I exist in moments.
Hello, it truly has been a long! I am sorry for my absence, I suppose I have been working on other projects and trying to be as busy as possible! I finished 2015 with a new sense of what my photography is about; finding what I feel I’m good at, and how I can build my portfolio to set my future in this business. I have created some very strong pieces that I feel very personally connected to that will drive my future projects I am currently planning!
I had also ended last year with a sense in incompletion, in that, I didn’t create as much as I had hope, in perspective to the whole year. This was due to a sense of fear, not wanting to grow because of how scary it is. And I remember thinking that I didn’t deserve to grow and achieve, because I wasn’t good enough. It drove me mad always thinking this way. So instead of letting myself loose, I started to say yes to opportunities, to experiencing life. I contacted fellow photographers, planned a shoot thats up and coming with a model, met someone (which I plan on talking about vaguely later) and continued to create the photos of my dreams! (Literally most of the time, as the two photos above came to me as I was falling to sleep late one night.) And I slowly but surely began to see myself in the mirror as the person that I wanted to be and could smile confidently with what I was dedicating my life to. It was because of this that I started 2016 with a new attitude to my work, letting myself create because I gave myself permission and the right to express myself limitlessly. I began with a project a week in college, which definitely pushed me to create in a fast pace, without hesitation. This helped enormously in teaching myself to just go out and take photos, because I can, and that person I became through repeatedly creating and the advise from people like my mom is the person I inter to have stay around. I have 6 final photos in just over a month, a huge accomplishment for me! I feel like this is the year for me to push beyond barriers set and achieve so much more!
These photos above where my trying to achieve something new and exciting, which eclipsed all my favourite themes, but in an entirely new way; meaning a new process and way of thinking. The absence of people in the frame is something I never generally do, as I feel most connected to portraiture and began photography really with this exact mind set. But really questioning that made me feel so alive and like I could allow myself to adjust to a new work ethic, I worked with the theme of ‘collection’ for this mini series and I feel that I really wanted to do something unexpected and eye catching!
If I could really pass anything on from my experiences over the last year is that you should really be free and feel limitless while you can. I always find it really daunting to look long into the future, but doing this made me realise how great right now really is, I am choosing to create really unusual things that are very different just because I can and am in a state of willing to grow!
One day you will look back to now and laugh at how great you had it and how great you can choose to make the future!
