41. Sketches

 Sometimes I try to challenge my inner creative spirit by coming up with original cool creative sketches. These sketches are not meant to resemble anything instead they are made up of creatures that can take form in any way you like to interpret them. For this sketch session, I tried to create creative visuals that resemble animals but arent quite animals. While this wasn't a formal artwork I had loads of fun just messing around and seeing what I could come up with in a limited amount of time.

48. The virus

Spending winter break at home this year was very hard. Due to the Corona crisis, Germany is now having its fourth lockdown and has remained in a state of lockdown since the beginning of December. In Texas the lockdown rules were extremely flexible and malleable, this strongly contrasted to Germany where no stores were allowed to be open apart from grocery stores, and one person was only allowed to see one other person from a different household. These rules were upheld by the police force and if not followed you could end up with a 20 000 fine or even jail. While this might sound like something taken from a movie it was a harsh reality for more than 80 million people. I often recall how I tried to explain the situation to my American friends here, but no one was truly able to imagine how horrible and strict it really was or still is. Families were forced to spend the holidays alone and you weren't even able to meet up with more than one other person from a different household. To p...

49. Cry Baby

 As mentioned in my previous blog post, there was really nothing you could do during Corona in Germany. Thus I had to come up with unique creative ways to spend my time. As we were encouraged to leave the house as little as possible, I decided to have a DIY photoshoot in my room. While the pictures that I took looked good and cool they weren't as artsy as I would have liked them to be. Evidently, my room isn't a professional photo studio and unfortunately, I don't have the props or the equipment to turn it into one. Instead, I decided to use the photos I took and manipulate them via Photoshop in order to give them a cool, artsy, and aesthetic appeal. This was one of the results... I tried to make it look as if it was taken out of a fashion magazine or as if it was a Poster.

45. Rap quotes

 Over the years the Rap genre has been extremely criticized and labeled as controversial. While some view it as a form of art others see it as vulgar and a waste 'of music'. I personally believe that rap is an extremely unique genre and is a lot deeper and meaningful than often credited for. Evidently, there is a lot of rap that is vulgar and may not be as deep as other songs. Yet I feel that the controversial image of rap overshadows some of the true potentials that certain rap verses carry. In this blog post, I wanted to share some of my favorite rap quotes in order to portray how meaningful and sentimental rap truly can be.  “Next time you see a brother down Stop and pick him up, Cause you might be the next one stuck.” –  Grand Puba ,  Mind Your Business “Never become so involved with something that it blinds you. Never forget where you from; someone will remind you.” –  DMX,   “It’s On “Life without dreaming is a life without meaning.” –  Wale “The...
