Progress Archive

So, looking at the dates I think June 2013 marked my sixth year of studying art seriously. I decided it would be fun to mark the occasion by putting all of the work I've ever put online into an archive I could share with you guys, to sort of expose all the ugly shit that goes behind anything even remotely successful I've ever made.

Now I'm still a long way from where I want to be and I'm more eager and excited than ever to keep on putting out as much work as I can, but it can be an incredibly positive experience to take a moment to look back on the journey you've taken so far. Maybe a lot of you guys know me from back in the CA.org days and maybe some of you don't, but I used to regularly update a sketchbook thread on there, starting at age 14 with the encouragement of a few badass artists who decided to help motivate me and keep me on the right track. Somehow I got lucky and stuck with it and this body of work is the result of that decision.

Looking at the work from the first year is a weirdly motivating experience, if I had known back then just HOW MUCH I didn't know, I wonder if I could have even found the willpower to stick with it. It just goes to show how important it is to be present and enjoy the learning experience and just stick with it!

Anyway, at risk of getting super cliche, keep killing it everyone, keep putting yourselves out there and keep grinding away, hope you can get something from this. No matte how much time passes I still feel like a complete beginner in the grand scheme of things and this whole thing is only just starting. Share your own progress too let's see it!
