Overall, his class was pretty damn good. The main thing I learned form Mr. Fowkes was simplifying my designs. I didn’t realize how much extraneous detail I was adding to my pieces in the pretense of high quality art. I would add extra color and bedazzles to make sure not one piece of my art was boring but…. that was my downfall. My younger self strived so hard to be interesting but now I know that less truly is more. STATE YOUR PRPOSE AND DO YOUR PURPOSE. I will forever strive to do as much as a I possibly can without a single extra stroke. I have to mentally think that every line cost me 500 dollars directly out of my bank account. Basically my visual communication must be as succinct and clear as my oral communication. I, for one, have a treasure trove of ideas that I need to see reach a larger audience. I believe I have the taste and vision to truly inspire a lot of people and inspire my own inner child. I’ve included a few new pieces tot this post and excluded my final assignment because it didn’t go in the direction that I’d like it to go.

I’m experimenting to find the perfect balance of style and economy for my next project.
