I’m OK with Interludes

“Midnight summer whispers… This is just another interlude in the symphony of life. “I’m ok with interludes”; a simple note written on my phone on September 7th, 2019, the beginning of something new; the unfolding of my manifestation. Someone said the words aloud in the car as we drove into the late night, but I’m not quite sure who—I only know that it resonated, and deserved to be solidified in the best way I know how: art.”

“A hypothetical beer label design for a brew made by The Indie Alehouse in Toronto. Phrenology head turned into woke, beer-drinking punk. A rewarding project that played with the use of gradients, digital hand-lettering, scanned texture, and fractal portraiture. I’ll drink to that.”
