Slide Typography
Got a few requests for the slide typography I talked about at my Echo session. So here you go, everyone!
Panic/Creativity
It’s been about four months now that I’ve been self-employed. And I find myself waking up frequently at odd hours of the evening – when I should be sleeping soundly. I’ve noticed two things wake me up in the wee hours. The first is a spark of creativity. An exciting idea. I hop out of…
Echo 2012
I’m at Echo 2012 today! I’m planning on tweeting goodies and visuals from the conference. So follow me on Twitter or Facebook! If you’re at the conference, be sure to come say hi!
Opportune Moments
I’ve begun living a radical life since moving to Dallas. I look for every opportunity and say “yes” to them all. I’ve done so many things already that aren’t “me”…but they were opportunities and I decided I would seize them. This started because I had no friends or connections up in Dallas. But I’m determined…
Don’t Forget the Fun
I’m writing a book. A devotional for creatives. I have so much great info I want to share, that sometimes I forget I need to make this thing enjoyable to read. Novel concept, right? I think that’s a syndrome of how seriously artist take themselves. We have such conviction for our craft, that we take…
I’m on the Bookwagon
I’m writing a book. Well, to be fair, I’ve been writing about three books. But I’m ready to announce the first that will be released. I’m working on a devotional for creatives. It’s a 31-day exploration of spirituality and creativity – those two concepts aren’t mutually exclusive. Each day will start with a spiritual principle.…
Killing that Voice
There’s one thing I’d like to see happen to my creative friends. I’d love to help them get those voices out of their heads. I’m talking about that voice that says: You aren’t good enough. And your identity rests on whether or not you can become good enough. That’s a lie. And it’s that same…
You Will Die
Yes, you will. You will die. Probably not at my hands. But some day your ticker will stop ticking and the lights will go out. Then what’s left? A lifeless sack of meat and bone – then your spirit departs. Everything that represents you is either given away or shoved into a box and sunk…
I Don’t Need Inspiration
“I don’t need inspiration…I make it.” That’s what my buddy Joe Cavazos said. I love it! He may have said it jokingly but I think there is such truth in that statement. Too many artists sit around waiting for inspiration to strike. They wander through Pinterest or Dribbble, looking for something to get the creative juices…
Take God Seriously
“But he’s already made it plain how to live, what to do, what God is looking for in men and women. It’s quite simple: (1) Do what is fair and just to your neighbor, (2) be compassionate and loyal in your love, (3) And don’t take yourself too seriously – take God seriously.” I love…
