Friday is the day I pick the big man up from school so he can spend the weekend with Dad. This means Dad has the morning to clean up all the creative mess from the past week, get groceries, and prepare for the weekend. While this usually takes me all morning, I still try to […]
No obligations, but the absolute freedom to play around and be free. I have been selling gradient paintings for two months now, and the results go up and down, which teaches me to trust the process. Still, I feel the need to create new ones because it is my main income these days. So, no
Today I spent the whole morning in bed with my laptop, brainstorming a new concept with ChatGPT. I woke up with an idea for designing socks. It started as a random thought. I've been noticing this ongoing trend of women pairing white sneakers with white socks and black yoga pants. At first, I didn't think
Ever since I started ENDDLESS, I've been struggling with the headline font, the one used for the post titles. For the body text, I'm using Courier because it gives me work-in-progress vibes, and that's exactly what ENDDLESS is: a work-in-progress journey. I also tried Courier for the headings, but it didn't feel right. It didn't
Creative flows come and go. What I mean by that is that today I worked on my gradient paintings, but I didn't work on any digital projects or digital work. I feel a bit disappointed and empty, but at the same time, I know that this is part of the process and that I have
It is 13:30, and I haven't eaten all day yet. I woke up at 8:00, directly fixed some stuff online, made myself some black tea, and then jumped straight into my tax administration. I have two days left until the deadline for Q3 because that is what you do; you wait until the last moment.
For some reason, I am too stubborn to follow typography design rules. This is great because it means my fonts stand out with an unpolished feel. Otherwise, what is the point of downloading a font other than Helvetica, right? The same goes for web design. I am just too stubborn to learn the basic principles.
Today, I woke up, opened my laptop, and spent three hours "fixing" the VAT percentages in my online store with digital products. I installed three plugins and even created a custom plugin with ChatGPT to address a VAT calculation for the customer. Only to find out that everything was correct already; I just had to
The first thing I did today was pack and send out an order; a painting was sold. I decided to try a new shipping method for business reasons. However, it ended up taking me way too long, and I was even getting frustrated with this new application that I was using. Of course, I asked
I often think in series, collections, and multiples. I don't just create a song; I want an album. Or better yet, I want to create a catalog of ten albums. That is also what happened with THE BOLD FONT. It started as a free project for everyone to use, which is why it still has
Today, I worked on two projects simultaneously, or was it three? Waking up a bit late, the first thing I did was open my laptop to work on this fun font. I want to create something fun, strong, and handmade—something based on the bubble letters I draw when I am sketching just for the sake
