Friday Focus. . . Working on finalizing some compositions for typography. I also am really excited to be able to work a little more introducing my illustration style with my design work. Get to hear @adamrgarcia speak this morning at the hite! . . Always ready to introduce some new perspective into my process. - #la #design #sketches #art #linework #lineporn #bulletjournal #sketchbook #process #city (at Louisville, Kentucky) https://www.instagram.com/p/Btn-z3Ghz5-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=k2asn7lvwy0l

There’s something about black coffee. . . . Sunday’s are for @loucbd coffee and design research. . For those who have been keeping up with my stories I’ve been undergoing some dental procedures in the past couple days. I have the final one tomorrow, so I really need some extra help with recovery and don’t really have time to be in pain or to take a day off with my schedule. I’ve found that cbd oil in my coffee is a perfect way to keep myself going and to help with recovery and health especially throughout the winter. . Something to think about. - #coffee #morningcoffee #cup #flatlay #minimal #design #art #lifestyle #boy (at Louisville, Kentucky) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtJzfU9huOU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1og9ahdnhy0g7

They asked me if I had a bag, I said totes. . . So thankful that it’s Friday! We take fridays very casually around here clearly. Trying to get ahead for the school week, wrapping up projects and commissions and excited to finally be able to shoot some more content ! . . #boys #bag #tote #boyswear #menswear #fashion #la #losangeles #louisville #normalobjects #fashiongram #outfitgrid #outfitinspo #inspo #design #urbanoutfitters #uomen (at Louisville, Kentucky) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtDwdhJhF6H/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tj9vvmnqxlaz

We’ve both had an extremely stressful week, it feels so good to finally sleep in and catch up on cleaning and organizing for content and finishing up some commissions. But before we get too ahead of ourselves we’re making a quick stop @quillscoffee for some spicy bean water. . . #louisville #coffee #caffeineaddict #morningcoffee #boyfriends #fashion #style #menswear #minimal #minimalist #rainyday #offday (at Louisville, Kentucky) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs0sXKvB8Ax/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=155tj6mn5td5l

When your professor takes an aesthetic photo of you working. : : 📷 @meenakhalili : I want everyone to look at something beautiful today and try to make something in response to it. It could be a poem a video a drawing a sketch you could simply just say wow that’s beautiful, but find inspiration in something small today; it could lead to something bigger. - Really diving into the semester and pushing myself into my work and being so inspired by it. I feel as if I’m really growing and I’m hungry to learn more about design and how I can manifest my creative thought into tangible designs. : : #student #college #collegeboy #design #art #aesthetic #office #artstudent #work (at Louisville, Kentucky) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsswr-dhebs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1is8lohex064o

Merry Christmas Eve guys! . Thought I would share a simple #aesthetic way to make your Christmas a little more eco-friendly. . While most wrapping paper is recyclable, most bows ribbons and glitter is not. A simple way to make your presents stand out is by reusing materials like ( @mperfectmperfect ) 📰 newspaper that gives a really fun vintage vibe but also gives material multiple uses. It’s our first holiday in the new place and not only are we trying to be more sustainable in 2019, but we’re tying to keep that “aesthetic” consistent. . Because why not save the earth and look good while doing it. . #merrychristmas (at Louisville, Kentucky) https://www.instagram.com/p/Brxpnq1he-9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jmze6l65fjjk

Some things to take away from this photo: - not everything is straight( including me ) -I wear an unhealthy amount of black.

Posse. . . . Out takes from a little downtown exploration with @liamforshort and @coexvst shooting some content for @kenmarkeyewear. . I’ve been thinking a lot about how grateful I am to be in a place where I have a select group of people that I really care about. It’s a good feeling. . .

Outfit: Mock neck: @hm_man Vest: @kaapstudio Coat: @zara Shoes: @dreampairsshoes (Thanks again to my friends at @kaapstudio & @dreampairsshoes For sending me some products to take photos in) . Trying to explore Louisville a little more now that I’m wrapping up the last bit of my finals this week. I’m happy to say that it was a very productive semester and I’m excited for the next round of classes. More importantly I’m excited for my birthday and Christmas. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq92V_mhCws/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=g1u8sr88swie

me:* tries not to over analyze the photo* also me : . . . I’ve gotten into the habit of letting my collage habits bleed over into my design and photography work, and I’m not mad at it. This photo was taken from a shoot for @articlegoods and it shows a little bit into my mind and how I critique my photos and design work. This is a very April Greiman inspired design, I’ve found this semester that fusing two or more mediums together is never really such a bad thing for design. What do you all think ? . . . Tag someone in the comments that’s an over analyzer ( that can include yourself ) and I will pick one to find a photo ton sketch on and send it to you ! ( ends Dec 3rd). ( limit two entries per person and there will be one winner, good luck!) ( brownie points for putting this on your story and sharing it ) . . #minimal #design #unum #louisville #fashion #photoshoot #casualstyle #fashionblogger #blogger #artist #sketch #printmaking #photography #articlegoods #vsco #lgbt (at Louisville, Kentucky) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqzmQv8hVsA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=f4o4vfeko0pe
