this is one of the few pieces i've made that i feel represents where i'm at in this "artist journey" i'm on atm.

it's been fun to push myself and explore new ideas, but it's also incredibly isolating and lonely at times.

sometimes i feel lost, but it always works out in the end.

i was supposed to go to bed a couple hours ago.. but when i looked over the progress i made on my collage today in outline view, i thought the lines from the vectors were kinda cool 🤔

i image traced them, got a lil carried away with type and w/e else, and ended up with this

[WIP- "elemental: a beautiful mind pt.II"]

every now and then, i'll mess around and make something that is more densely layered than usual.

while the process can be a huge pain in the ass, seeing everything come together shape by shape brings me so much joy and satisfaction 🙂

i am more exhausted than i expected.. jet lag and the general fatigue of traveling is now hitting me like a truck 😅

i’d love to pick up where i left off and just gogogo, but i’ll be taking it easy for a bit

hazen @heyhzn.bsky.social · Sep 2

took a break from *everything* all of last month due to traveling and other things which was nice for a while, but at this point, i’m so eager to get back and lock in.. but probably after i recover from all the traveling 😅

and of course, appeasing the algorithm on other sites would probably help, but that’s a whole other thing on its own

ive come to the realization that social media may never be much of an enjoyable experience for me unless i get over my reluctance to connect with others

however, i’m not sure how much i’m willing to do that 🙂

not sure what to say about this one, mostly cause i feel a bit lazy to recall the experience and have brain fog atm

but

words are powerful and sometimes it makes working on typography somewhat of a vulnerable experience for me, even if the type doesn't make sense

tbf i've always felt this way, even as a kid, but i never felt like i could express it out of fear of being made fun of for being weird or overly serious about funny shapes.. that and just not wanting to be more unrelatable than i already am

i see you, young hazen

elemental pt.3 (wip)

the more i do this, the more spiritual(?) it all feels

like it's all beyond me and i'm just channeling something greater, not necessarily in a religious way

call me crazy, but i'm not sure how else to describe it

looking back at my working files feels like i’m reading a diary

it’s nice to look back and reflect on what i was thinking and feeling

it hasn’t been that long since i made this, but i can already feel and see changes in how i approach/think about my process
