There's a lot going on for me this week and I'm buckling down on some long term goals I have. I've really been proud of my accomplishments, but I feel the need to go further with some personal development goals. It's not that I've been lazy, but I feel like I need even more effort. It's so easy to get trapped in admiration of my influences and I feel like my next step forward is going to involve a lot of self reflection. To break away from those who I follow and really find my own voice. It's tough because I expect a lot out of myself also.
I feel like the best work I've produced has involved an authentic outlook. This past Summer, I really attained a level of sincerity that I'm looking for again. I know that it comes when I'm deeply involved in telling a story through my images. For illustration, that's been my goal and I'll be thinking a lot about that this week. Going to be doing a lot of drawing, that's for sure.
