I’ve given up on aesthetics. I’m going for insane graphic artist. Mismatch work for myself / clients / my daughter drawing on old notes & projects.

As a graphic designer, I’ve worker with clients that have forced me to use Gen AI. And I’m just sick of it. It’s soulless, it’s corporate, it’s lazy and just making a product for product’s sake. So now, I’m really trying to make art and designs that aren’t fully digital. I want my designs to feel more human and tactile. I’m going to start by collecting old magazines and buying a kit for cleanly cutting them off. I’m thinking of practicing collaging among other stuff.
But also, I’m starting by trying not to judge my work so much and just embrace the imperfections of it.
Hopefully, I get to a place where I’m proud of my work.

Lots of design work that’s come in lately, much of it being realistic-esque illustrations. Been brutal to stay afloat but it’s making me better to push beyond my comfort zone. Now I can draw cool ass Greek statue heads.

i have a kind of corporate graphic design job and i haven’t really done a project 4 myself since i graduated so i decided to have a little creativity session w one of my best friends (who is also a graphic designer) and we built a concept for a project we are really excited about 😛
safe to say sometimes we’ve gotta sacrifice our free time of doing nothing to start chasing the things we want out in the world.

florinegrassenhopper riotgrrrl brendanooooo slowdazzle buck_mcgraw and indianjones — we did it. Not only did we successfully meet for drinks, but we also schemed the hostile takeover of this app from tyler tonight.
In all seriousness — weird that an app I downloaded in April would make genuinely want to drive back into Brooklyn during end of day traffic for a happy hour. Great app filled with great people.

I feel like there’s a special connectivity on this app that I haven’t felt in a long time, maybe since early 2010’s tumblr. The fact that you can’t promote yourself like IG is wonderful. The fact that there isn’t mass video content like Tik Tok is great. It’s not this monetized / paid sponsorship app. People are here because they want to be a part of something with nothing to gain besides friendship. Seeing the URL -> IRL meetups warms my heart so much (waiting for an NYC or Brooklyn meetup).
Thanks for your participation on this niche little app. I smile reading all the recs and all the comments and all the asks. Hope we’ll all be here for a long time.

I think a life rule for me is to surround myself with people who know more / are smarter / are cooler than me and just absorb their aura by listening / observing them. It’s made me the incredibly smart / cool person you all know and love.
I just never thought I’d feel the same way about URL friends. I’m constantly listening to the songs I see posted here, reading the articles, subbing to newsletters, and googling topics that get tossed onto the feed.
It’s nice to know you can become a more rounded person by just absorbing what your mutuals post on here. I’m going to sit on my couch, have a cocktail and digest my lovely feed. Happy Sunday!
