Get your walk on! (#270/365)

thecreativepanic5 Comments

I thought I would take this opportunity to welcome the people who have recently subscribed to The Creative Panic and give you all a little run down on what the hell is actually going on here 🙂

The Creative Panic was started because I needed a “kick up the bum” to get illustrating again as, with my day job of being co-director of the creative agency helloFriday, my personal creative output was suffering. To counter this I decided to draw something every day for a year and so the ‘Panic was born. 90% of the illustrations on this blog are done with a Wacom board in Illustrator CS4 and textured in Photoshop CS4.

As far as subjects go, I literally draw whatever I have in my head at the time… sometimes it gets a little strange 🙂

Get a Tattoo… (#269/365)

I love tattoos. I consider a great tattoo akin to a great piece of art and those who get inked with these great tattoos as art collectors. What I don’t like is those getting a tattoo in a place where no one will ever see it (like it’s a nasty scab one should hide away) and so small it might as well have not been done in the first place.

This is, of course my own opinion and I would never tell anyone to do anything they didn’t want to do, but if you do want a tattoo, research the topic of the tattoo what you want to get… make it mean something even if it just that it is cool as f*ck, talk to heaps of tattoo artists, check out their work and get it as big as possible! 🙂
