Netdiver magazine

Has it been 7 weeks already? Never took time off from publishing nor curation to focus on creating ART only. Read the whole post for a more in-depth reveal of my new career direction.

Change of avatar = new journey for me.

Updated avatar reflects both sides of what content to expect in my feed: design + art.

Editorial addendum

Red hot on my mind is ‘content‘.. visual and written. What and how – staged or not – to show? What and how – personal or not – to write?

My eureka moment came when I realized I wanted to share my ‘explorations’ – as a big eye wanderer and record the ‘journey’.

That’s it. Simple. No limits – no constraints – no agenda – no schedule – no performance – no imaginary crowd to please.

I am on the ‘move’ creatively – an artistic explorer of sort – this is who I am – so who I am I – I will share.

Research + bookmark + read + repeat. Awesome design references.

Describing perfectly who I am – and many others – I am sure. Today – after an emotional roller-coaster – and prise de conscience – I am back on track. I am renewing my determination to stay focussed on my lifelong mission: to sublimate pain with beauty, inspiration and good. I am not ducking from reality – I am affording myself the ‘space’ needed to be focussed.
