The most difficult part about art is sitting down and finishing a whole project, but the easiest part is brainstorming future projects… while you neglect your current projects!

Typically the problem that occurs there is the gap between what we are doing versus what we actually want to do, and often we realize we don’t want to do a project when we’ve already started. That middle part is where I make my artist space, and where I carve out my projects. I combine ideas I enjoy like color palettes, and combine them with the project guidelines given to me.

No work gets done if someone doesn’t want to do it, and my drive behind my projects has always been frustrating for a lot of my professors and mentors. My answer to “What inspired this project?” is always “Because it’s cute.” That answer is often not seen as valid in many people’s eyes, so I will explain.

Cute, something attractive and attention grabbing upon first glance. Often a lot of my work doesn’t look stereotypically cute, and the pieces that do, have bugs on them which grosses most people out. That’s the key difference right there, not everything has to look cute to the viewer to be cute to the creator, and quite honestly cute has become a blanket term for nice with me.

I simply want to create cute stuff for me and other like-minded people to look at.

When things are nice for the artist and please their eye while pushing their boundaries and their artist impression is where the line between work-in-progress and future project ideas meet. It is where artists like me get the best of both worlds.
