Things are going well on my end, just got a new papasan chair for my living room, and it is \u003cem\u003eso \u003c\/em\u003ecomfy! Speaking of comfort – it's been storming over Texas for a week or so now, and I don't know about y'all, but I love the rain. Stormy weather always gets me inspired; something about the juxtaposition of the chaos outside to the coziness that can be found inside just gets those ideas flowing, I guess. Through that inspiration, came this strap: She Was the Storm!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis strap was a storm in and of itself; I went through a lot of trial and error (as I'm sure you can see in the beginning of the video haha) before I got to the painterly style I wanted to capture. It's normal to go through stages of a project where the piece just... does not look the way you want it to, and it's your job to figure out how to make it work. Art is a neverending task of compromise; trying to marry the picture you have in your head to the actual piece you're physically creating. I think the same can be said about life; we all go through stages where fate keeps dealing punches, but it's up to us to decide how to react – do we let circumstance overtake us, or do we become stronger because of it?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\"All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.\" - Gandalf\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe can't change the cards we're dealt in life, but we can control what we do with them and after every storm, we can come out a little bit stronger. Sometimes storms feel like they'll last forever, but they will always pass and the sun will always come out just a bit brighter than it had before. Through our storms, we discover just how powerful we really are, and after all, flowers need both rain and sunshine to grow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow for the strap! As I stated previously, this one gave me a bit of trouble in the beginning, but I'm glad I kept going with the idea I had in my head and by the end of the process, I really enjoyed this style and this strap. Kind of wild how, as artists, we have all these styles we fluxuate between, but somehow it can always be recognized as \u003cem\u003eour\u003c\/em\u003e art. Anyways, I had a lot of fun with this one, and I am always game to draw some pretty clouds haha!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mobiledoc='{\"version\":\"0.3.2\",\"atoms\":[],\"cards\":[],\"markups\":[],\"sections\":[[1,\"p\",[[0,[],0,\"I hope you enjoyed this strap and I hope the message speaks to you like it did for me!
