Process of My Journey!

There is so much I would like to say about the process of my book. This I feel is absolutely one of the most important things that I have done in my life. To create something that expresses my world. To show the things that inspire me to the public. Reaching within myself and being able to open myself up willfully is a huge step for me. Sometimes I am afraid of what is inside me. I have become familiar with all of it over the years and have learned to control it. The world I am afraid will not be ready for my vision. I feel that they would shun me. There are thankfully people who do understand where I am coming from. It is these kind of people who helped get me through Ringling School experience. With out similar mind working as one it is hard accomplish the tasks that are assigned to me.

The inspiration behind this book came from everything that I have experienced throughout my time here and the other college I have been through in Denver Colorado. I started out with a lot of loud images which I would keep making louder as you progress through the book. I feel though that it was appropriate for expressing myself. However I needed control. Douglas Higgins lit the way for me. I needed to OPEN IT UPAND BREATH. Why Not ? and Associates had a similar vision that Higgins had for my book. I wanted to do my best making this vision a reality. The result still has screaming images, but it has essence of open mindedness. I feel this is a good representation of how I absorb things. Once something gets into my tractor beam I will most likely be devoured. My head is full of craze. I just keep trying to hone down on this energy. I have to smooth it out. This graphic design class has helped calm my mind and possibly has given me a new outlook on life.

Childhood is so important to keep in contact with. It is the only part of my life that truly freed my soul. The joy of playing and using the imagination is gift that should never be tossed. I feel since getting older a lot of my childhood is missing. I have to find it again. I This is where my soul for the rest of my life should be.
