Make Your Own Path
In the years that I have been freelancing as a graphic designer and a comic artist, the truest advice I’ve ever gotten from peers is “Make your own path”. It’s not always easy, and sometimes it seems impossible, but deciding where you want to move towards rather than waiting for someone to tell you will always lead you in a more interesting direction. When you wait for others to tell you where to go, you give up the power of making a decision, even a bad one, and learning from that decision. Some of the best things in my professional life have come from reacting to a stupid or terrible choice, and re-finding my balance.
This poster, inspired by parkour teacher Brandee Laird, is a translation of watching her move and apply her constantly evolving views towards an environment that can become roads instead of walls.
