What happens when a poet picks up a pen and remembers she likes to sketch too:)
I write poetry over at @words.bycm on IG and since Inktober is here, I thought it was time to let that side of me out of its little corner of Instagram.
This is 'What Is Freedom?', a poem I wrote about a blue bird that spends its life fighting to escape a cage, only to find its wings clipped when the door finally opens.
A little existential crisis, now available in ink.
I wanted to bring the poem into a visual form, keeping the bird, the open cage, and that big, complicated idea of freedom at the heart of it.
For the writers, designers, and other creative shape-shifters here: what side of your creativity would you bring to Inktober?
Colifa is a self-initiated branding concept for a young Argentine criolla wine, created to keep my creativity in motion. It’s my way of designing what I feel when I’m with my people: loud, funny, easy, and open to everyone at the table.
The scribbly hand-drawn tangle against those soft, bubbly COLIFA letterforms gives the label a loud-but-friendly table energy. Was the texture in the background mostly Firefly, or did you draw it by hand in Illustrator?
