Just do it

Though I love photography, and the creative opportunity it gives me to envision a piece, play around with a composition, and work with my surroundings and the instrument’s features and functions to get the best possible shot, I’m always sooooo peeved how many things are out of my control.  When someone walks into my shot... when the perfect lighting fades... when my battery dies… when my SD card is too full… when the shot turned out to be blurry...
My strongest form of artistic expression, the one I embrace the most, and the one that renders me happiest, is still that which relies completely on my own mind and hand.  I am completely in control.
So enough neglecting the pencil and paint.  Enough putting aside my art for school.  Enough procrastinating.  I’m going to finish this.  A Nike message for a Nike piece, dedicated to the iconic and legendary shoe:  Just do it.

Take a look.

Pens and highlighters. A student's art in the making.
