Tad carpenter self portrait10/12/2023 ![]() ![]() Jorge Artola – Freelance Art Director & Motion Designer I dedicated weekends to virtual art movie nights with my sister (still think Adrien Brody should do a Dalí movie of his own), AND I have made a conscious effort to talk to other creatives as a result discovering new and fantastic online portfolios:Īnastasia Suvorova – Printmaker & Illustrator I attended the Adobe Max Creative Conference, and the legendary Ray Harryhausen exhibition. I have bought more books this year than when I was a student, ranging from The Diary of Frida Kahlo, to Malika Favre’s collection of stunning illustrations, Tad Carpenter’s Sunday Suns and Made by James: The Honest Guide to Creativity and Logo Design (still eagerly awaiting its arrival). The second half of this year has been teeming with inspiration. This is where my 2021 biggest achievement has been: staying inspired and connected… I’m even enrolling in some online courses to build on my skills and learn new ones this year. My sketchbooks are also beginning to fill again and though my mind is fraught with financial anxiety I know if I keep going, I will figure it out. Research done, this year is the year I create my first Frida product… WATCH THIS SPACE! I have, finally, made progress on my research on the Mexican art scene from the Maya and Aztecs, to the 20th Century and Frida Kahlo. This time out has, however, taken me on a great big creative journey… I understand their predicament so much so that I can’t even bring myself to be upset about it. With only the one client for 2021, I have had to do the same thing. Some have had no repeat funding or have unfortunately had to shut shop, and others have so little financial stability that they are doing their own business marketing with free templates to keep their head above water. Many of my clients have been forced to adjust their lives in the midst of pandemic life.
