I really leaned hard into the Downtown Des Moines skyline for this year’s PedalArt print. Drawing all those little windows and details took a loooong time but I loved every minute of it. Excited for you guys to check this out up close at @ConfluenceBrew on Friday from 6-9pm!

Some advice:
Just do it. Shia LaBeouf that shit.
Fuck big goals, focus on next steps.
Process over product.
Make 1000s of shitty things. You'll climb that pile of manure to the stars.
Fear is the mind killer.
Start where you're at, it's only too late if you don't start at all.

I love today's creative wisdom from Thor Harris, on @thecreativeindp.
This excerpt is 👌:
"The company you keep will make or break you. Find the most honest, smartest, kindest, most creative people who will tolerate you. Get them to be your friends."
