D30 day 2 swirls. With Father’s Day, Eric’s birthday, and Mom’s birthday all within roughtly 3 days, I thought it’d fitting to doodle to fit their personalities :)

D30 is a little book by Jim Krause of design and creativity exercises that I bought last summer in Portland. This summer, I’m hoping to continue my lettering project alongside these exercises :) Day one consisted of free writing for an hour, divided into three parts: things I’m good at, things I want to improve on, and tangible creations I can see myself making in the future. Such a powerful exercise that pushed me to think about myself in far more ways than I would have expected.

[super serious alert] Around half a year ago, I started a new sketchbook, intent on overcoming a lot of fear I'd been struggling with. This was the first doodle in that notebook and a breath of new air for me, and since then, I've been on the edge of starting my own collation beyond this tumblr. With spring break and more time to muse, I've decided to make the leap to start this endeavor of recovering all the aspirations I've set for myself to share what I love with the world.
