Sometimes the process is more interesting than the end product. #pears #wepaintfruit #BLKBOX #design #graphicdesign #paint #acrylic #watercolor #process #creative #workspace (at Blkbox Labs)

Ok we all know everything that comes out of the BLKBOX workshop is always rad- but this project is literally badass. Check out the latest on branding of Badass Skivvies, the coolest underwear brand around. #downtoyourskivvies #badassbranding

One of my favorite artists at the moment, Benjamin Clementine belts out the most amazing music through his piano and voice, singing with his eyes closed, almost as if he's trying to recall the events that the songs are hewn from. British native, he busked tables in Paris and now he accompanies me in the morning hours, sending his condolences through my headphones. @benjaminclementine #musicartist #atleastfornow #takeover #benjaminclementine @tylerorsak

This is the man. Everything from westerns like A Fistful of Dollars to a little film called Star Wars, this man inspired so many great films through history. This is Akira Kurosawa. Go watch Seven Samurai. You're welcome. #takeover @tylerorsak #akirakurosawa #filmlegend

The surrealistic paintings of Jean-Pierre Roy feature collosal figures battling the artist's demons and existential questions. He also uses science fiction elements throughout his work, making a huge pop of visual excitement. WWW.Jean-Pierre Roy.com. #takeover @tylerorsak @jeanpierreroy

My favorite poet is Alfred Lord Tennyson. In his piece, Ulysses, he speaks about not being able to stand still in life. Sounds a lot like BlkBox. We are always moving. Tho' much is taken, much abides; and tho' We are not now that strength which in old days Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are; One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

We think a great deal about standing out above the rest, not being ordinary, think outside of our thoughts. Today we lost arguably one of the greatest examples of that creed. See you, spaceman. #davidbowie #ziggystardust #takeover @tylerorsak

When I'm in a slump or needing to get a new perspective, traveling does the trick! Meeting new people, experiencing new things, eating new food...I can't get enough. Always trying to figure out a way to get out of town. It's necessary for my sanity and I'm blessed to be able to travel as much as I do! I follow a really inspiring young creative, @taylortippett. She travels the world and uses Instagram to let us all in on her adventures and the people she meets! Kinda my dream. Sparks my need for travel even more. Every time I get back from a trip, it's a running joke that I'm gonna quit my job and become an airline stewardess so I can get free flights and just travel all the time! Haha Places I've been in the last several years: New York, California, Alaska, Cozumel, Italy, Austria, Florida Some of my dream places to visit: Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, London, France

My parents were mobile DJ's my entire life, until a couple of years ago when they retired their turntables. So, it's no surprise that music has been, and always will be, a very important part of my everyday life. There are few times when you'll catch me NOT listening to music or singing songs that randomly pop into my head. Im constantly trying to find new bands to listen to or a new concert to go to. The ability music has to bring back certain memories or emotions is so powerful! It's impossible to pick just a few faves, but here are some that I listen to often: @coldplay @youngthegiant @copelandband @ohwondermusic @deasvail @localnatives @ofmonstersandmen @fromindianlakes @ohdaughter @thealmostofficial For more, follow me on Spotify!

I got my first tattoo by @jeffslack in my hometown, Fort Smith. (My grandparents disowned me for a couple of weeks when they saw it for the first time.) 🤘🏼 Yes, it's simple. I wanted something that had a personal meaning behind it. This phrase is from Genesis 16. It talks about a woman who felt alone in the wilderness, but praises God for His provision. She calls Him "El Roi, the One who sees me." Anytime I feel alone or forget that there is more to life than my struggles, this is a good reminder.
