Not AI. Actual client feedback.
“Hey David, I just love it. I think you really did a great job. I love the use of these patterns, like, just like a nod to the artistic and the colorways here– just really beautiful job. I really appreciate your work on this, it’s making me feel a lot better about the brand– taking inspiration but not making the whole thing about the patterns, you know? Because with this one, I would choose this out of all the directions so far. It’s really gorgeous.”

“Powerful Art is Personal”
(a talk about creative expression)
I gave a group of cool and curious high schoolers a talk on what makes art and creative expression great. I hope you enjoy and thanks for watching.
TLDR
1. We are all products of countless personal experiences. Those experiences shape our artistic instincts, 2. The more honestly we create from those experiences, the more powerful our work becomes, 3. Therefore, our goal isn't to become someone else—it's to become more ourselves, 4. Art is for the artist. Instead of asking, “What do people want?”, we should ask, “What's true about my experience?”
