Wow! I needed to make something for me. It’s been a while.
I feel that as a graphic designer people expect you to be creative all the time. The truth is after doing it 8+ hours every day, the last thing I want to do is create more. I just want to turn off my brain. Art is so rarely excitable for me the past couple of years. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but I have a sneaking suspicion it’s the lack of community. A community to critique, praise, and just discuss art for arts sake. People that speak my language. People that know the value in what we do. I miss school - not because it was school but because I had peers that were constantly pushing me forward to something better.
When I think to the most inspired I’ve been in life, it’s always when I’ve been surrounded by others pushing for better art. What does it mean? Does it have to mean anything? Is there enough white space? What do the colors say? Why does the same imagery always come out in your art? What do those motifs mean about you?

I followed a career in graphic design because I knew I could use my skills and eye to solve problems, make myself money, and help others make money. What I didn’t expect is for it to zap my creative energy on a subconscious level - more than I am probably even aware of.

So for all you other designers out there that feel drained. You aren’t alone.

Look for something to inspire you to make you WANT to create. For you. by @bryceinsideout

Design for the amazing musician and producer #TomMisch.
I’ll be a fan as long as you keep making music. It was a while back, but your show in #Denver at the #gothictheatre was one of my favorites of all time. Definitely took me #beyondthegroove taken in Denver, Colorado by @bryceinsideout
