What's Going On

Mark

I wanted to create a series to more intentionally practice integrating my drawings with some sort of design, and also better practice thinking conceptually. So here are some poster thingys

and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength - Mark 12:30

Sketching

I went to a retreat during labor day weekend.

I skipped some of the scheduled things to draw with a pal. lowkey my favorite part

I didn't take any pictures though...

Old Sketches

I was looking through my old sketch archive. There's just something special about the sketch phase; I love the energy and looseness you can have!

You definitely lose some of that when you have to tighten up your drawings.

Or maybe it's just having a low pressure environment to play with.


What I've been thinking about

I was in a call with a potential client and I think I'm really awkward. I should probably start writing a script

I think I wanna move away from branding my art stuff with Jonadrew and just use my actual name. Idk what needs to be untangled though.

That might mean my facebook name needs be my real name too....ugh. I guess it was fun while it lasted


Thank you!

Next Newsletter on September 30th!
