getting back into the groove

Hello friends, 

Well, I may as well start this off by being as honest as I possibly can.....this summer fucking sucked. That's why things got held off and this blog and the rest of my life kind of got put on hold. This seems to happen every now and again in my life, but this time I must say, I have dealt with all the bull shit much better than I have in the past. I may have not had much of a presence online or did....anything.....in my shop.....but, I did a shit ton of art! Then the fall came, and Phantom Fright Nights came and whooped our butts. It was a ton of fun and we really honed our acting skills and really developed some of our characters into a really good place! We're evening thinking of writing a full Hobo show for next year....possibly. 

But back to what we were talking about....

Despite being super sick, enduring a death in the family, and muddling through a difficult job I really have enjoyed the time away and the lack of pressure that this little break in 'work' has given me. It's given me the moment or so to figure out exactly what I want to do with my brand and what I plan to create. The past few years, I just feel like I've been ambling around trying to figure out who I am again and what it is that I'm trying to say. The notion of 'getting back to my roots' has been a driving force into this rebrand.
By that I mean, getting back to who I am when I'm being my purest self and not putting on a 'face' to get by....life has been hard folks. But, that's the life of an artiste, huh?! *insert pretentious laugh here* In all seriousness though, the 'real holly' is weird, colorful and unafraid to be heard. Trying to get back to her has been an up hill battle, but the more I explore my own thoughts and stop listening to what other people think I should be, it's all becoming clearer. 

That's why I've been getting back into the groove....

I'm back bitch!! And, I'm back with a clearer vision and now I can see my path! It's the path that's always been written for me, I just couldn't see it for a while. Yet here I am, back to sitting down at my desk with that brush in my hand. The path is clear and coated with a wicked layer of psychedelic paint....

Prepare yourselves for some weird art shit,people! 

Until the next time, please check out my YouTube Channel to see all the sketch videos that I've put up so far!
