“Until writing was invented, man lived in an acoustic space: boundless, directionless, horizonless, in the dark of the mind, in the world of emotion, by primordial intuition, by terror. Speech is a social chart of this bog.”
McLuhan p.48
An artist my ultimate goal is to find a means to navigate and translate this acoustic space to which McLuhan refers. The majority of my creative works in the past have been geared towards an audience. I’ve spent time working freelance for commissions and creating a small online following. A lot of practice has been devoted to honing a smooth, marketable digital style to render illustrations for a range of prices.

This has been to my benefit as a digital artist for hire, but I crave a new more intuitive direction. I’d like to focus less on how polished my outcome is and more on the process and ritual involved in creating a piece of art, and the investment of time and energy and parts of myself that creates a real connection.
I want to find a method of expression that satisfies me on a deeply personal level, to create art that resonates with my soul as a priority, and that is relatable secondarily. I’d like to use this class as a means to develop my creative expression through different mediums and forms, and this blog as a space to document it. I want to discover my own artistic intuition to connect to my subconscious and emotional world without the inhibition of being conscious of an audience. Hopefully these aspirations may serve as a starting point for funneling my interest into a more directed path. we shall fucking See
