The Creature’s lament over the death of his creator. A change of heart.

I’m thankful for the connection I have with my Creator, and that my heart feels what it does. What are you thankful for?? (at Minnesota)

Little morning rebrand. Idk if y’all noticed, but for the past 6 months or so I’ve been playing around with a new signature that plays on the Sam of Thunder name. I like my original logo (swipe far right); I developed it in college & am very proud of it... but I feel like it’s just not me. I constantly feel torn between illustration & design and I am trying to blend the two while enjoying what I do. I know this is very difficult for people to follow, most successful artists have a specific niche & stay in that vein and grow; while I’m over here scattered all over the creative spectrum. Long story longer, thank you for following my journey to find who I am as an artist & designer. I hope I can inspire good things in you through my designs. #rebrand #rebranding #logo #branddesign #lineicon #icondesign #graphicdesign #art #illustration #illustrator #monogram #thunder #sonsofthunder #minimaldesign #badgedesign #slowroastedco #designersofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #vector #bestvector #bestdesign #geometricdesign #personalbranding #simplycooldesign #thankyou #🙏 #emblem #designer

Some infinities are bigger than others. There is an infinite amount of intervals between 1 & 2 and even more between 1 & 3. Make sense? What really blows my mind is how my commute home is infinitely longer than the ride into work. #design #graphicdesign #vector #vectorart #icondesign #art #abstractart #abstractdesign #lineicon #symbol #love #freedom #unconditionallove #illustration #illustrator #slowroastedco #illustree #iconaday #artoftheday #instadesign #lovesymbol #peace #illustrations #originaldesign #badgedesign #stickerdesign #shirtdesign #mandal #infinity #mindblown (at Minnesota)

I remember seeing @yourmemorial for the first time, way back when before @blakesuddath was added. I was in awe of the majestic heaviness. I recognized @tommyweigel from sonshine pits and later that night bought a shirt out of the back of his car lol. The first time Blake played with the band I thought the stage was coming down. I’ve never had a bad time at a YM show; I really wish last night would have gone differently for me, but I’m still happy to have the memories I do. . In the words of Bloody Sunday, “I never fit in, not saying I didn’t try, I got so sick & tired.” I’m sure it’s a common feeling, but I never felt fully welcomed in the scene, so having a nice group like YM made for some good times. Thank you guys, so much. .

Being a bad dancer has its perks. 😬🔫 Maybe it’s time to go into mosh retirement. :(

We set up the flatbed at my work to print white ink, it’s quite an ordeal. We ran some “test” prints. Direct-print to 6mm black EPVC/Sintra. #design #homedecor #hotelart #art #drawing #illustration #print #printmaking #printdesign #sintra #bedroomdecor #wallart #fox #foxdrawing #directprint
