The Verdict

So its Friday, a week has pasted and as the weekend dawns I feel good about my efforts this week. I finished a design contest t shirt and I feel really good about my chances of winning. I stumbled upon a few t shirt designers whose work and story has further inspired me to keep up my efforts and design. One is a line called Paperplates.com and another is Johnnycupcakes.com . While Paper plates seems to be early in its journey Johnny Cupcakes has been around for awhile and has gathered quite a following and his story from the beginning is also very inspiring. And as I continue too on my own journey I know I'll be looking to more designers like these to see how they progress and how their progression can help me along my way. LETS GET IT!!!

Rise & Grind

As I look to pick up pace in my life and my work I find myself forced to x out the unnecessaries. To my surprise initially there wasn't much really I thought I needed to do... initially, but as time moves on I am seeing there is so much more to do. Its all about persistence & consistence and putting all the bull shit aside and getting to what really counts because at the end of the day my timeline for my success is up to me. So as I post this at the beginning of the week April 12th 2010 lets see where I am come Friday. LETS GET IT!!!

Go get it PERIOD.

Paradigm Shift

As I continue to learn more about myself and strive to change the things about myself that are holding me back, I came along a group of videos which explain why sometimes it is so difficult. This is the first video of a 3 part series by Bob Proctor that talks about "Paradigms"

FILM PROJECT: Learning the ropes of a filmmaker

So the projected day of TAKE MY HAND film release came and went w/ no film to show. "Worst nightmare" right. More than that as someone who has never showed up with a unfinished project it hurt. And yes there were extenuating circumstances, but come on. It was out of my control so I gotta go with the flow. I realize the trust and belief I put in others may be a fault I have much like being "too nice, but I really just want people to prove to me they are legit and not just a good mouth piece.

As I take my licks going through the process of making a film I realize everyone down the line has to buy into the vision and if you're aboard because it sounds fun or its an experience you've never had well be prepared for a wake up call that will make you think twice. You gotta be passionate about it. Be willing to have to stay up till 3am or have to get up at 3am to really be down for the project. And for those who do it independently damn, be prepared for more of a commitment and beating down.

I realized in this process that as much as I love the creative process there has to be a structured side that makes plans, executes the plans in an orderly fashion and makes sure everyone is in good spirits and the whole process is conductive of getting things done on time... they call this a producer. Here I found a position that will always test me, but I'll be damned if I let another production come in late and miss its premiere date.
