It's been a year or so since I gave this blog its whole minimal aesthetic (ahem, the same one you see on like 15 other blogs per day). I think I'm ready for something new.
And just in time! I found this neat step-by-step process on creating vector illustrations, care of Creative Blog. I love vector illustrations. They're so abstract, and I find that the form gives you a lot of freedom, but imposes enough restrictions that it truly exercises your creativity as an individual and not just as an artist. It's a lot like my other favourite artistic medium, photography (which I'll be sure to do more of this summer. Like every summer).
I've been working on Photoshop since I was 14, InDesign since I was 19, but I've yet to master Illustrator. It looks like I have my next creative pursuit (outside of the ever-present writing, of course). Now it's just on to learning how to code the header, maybe switching this whole operation over to Wordpress, and who knows where we'll go from there?
This weekend promises to be fun. I'll be going to Field Trip, my first large-scale music festival and my first time seeing BSS. I'll likely be a physical and emotional wreck as of Monday morning.
We're not allowed to bring DSLRs into the venue, but with the potential of disposable cameras (hip) and the ever-advancing quality of the iPhone, I'm sure I'll have plenty to share post-weekend.
Before you go, though, he's an acoustic version of a song I refused to listen to for, oh I don't know, nearly two years?
Have a great weekend.
