Sooo.. hope you had a good thanks giving!:) My family was all at the in-laws so I got to say home, eat mcdonalds.. and work on a project:)
My friends Weston kay (rose anvil) and India Earl teamed up to make this rad camera harness... and Weston was nice enough to give me one to customize.
If you haven't seen my past video where I tool leather.. check it out:

There I go over more or less how to do everything I'm doing in this video.
I tried to switch up my style and do a more traditional design on this leather piece. thought it turned out nice ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
first thing I did was make a pattern by tracing the harness piece onto leather. I marked the hole where the strap would go over the piece(that way I didnt design something that was just going to get covered).
I used a wet sponge to wet the harness. Then once it was dry I taped the design on and used the tracing tool to trace it on the leather.
After I took off the paper I traced it out again making sure it was deep enough to guide the knife and incase I missed any spots. Then I went over the line with a swivel knife.
from there it was just beveling and molding the leather to fit the design:)
Also also.. I'm giving away a free key chain for anyone who buys something on the kickstarter for today and tomorrow: kickstarter.com/projects/shmoxd/shmoxd-leather-kits

Sooo after Ive spent a bunch of energy and attention a fulfilling a project.. on. once thats done I cant help but feel a little aimless and burnt out (both creatively and physically). I call this the post project blues.
How I get over this is with REST RELAXATION and REWARD. I use this time to do something that doesnt take a whole lot of focus or energy. Usually its video games, scrolling on the socials, or watching mindless tv.
This has been a big part of my creative process cause its usually during these times that I get inspiration for another project that I want to work on.
Inspriation for me can come from a lot of different things.. but usually I get inspiration from rad things that other people create and thinking, oh.. I wanna try that out
I honestly think the quality of the outcome [of a project] is determined by the excitement going into that project. So I always work out what Im most exited with in that moment.
once I decided what to do I try to find whats been done already and think about how I can put my own spin on it. With every new project there are always obstacle and lil internal mes thinking, what if.
What if it doesnt work out quite how I wanted. What if its not unique enough. What if I end up putting a bunch of time into it and it doesnt get any likes. What if any success ive had in the past was just luck. What if I fail.
One of VSCOs tag lines that I really like is MAKE IT ANYWAYS. That helps me remind me that Im not alone in these thoughts and worries... and that Im allowed to fail. Honestly, failure and experimenting is a huge part of my creative process.
Art and creativity is just active problem solving.
With hydro dipping I decided I would cut a hole in my table. That way I could stick a lens up from the bottom and get a bunch of different angles. I also figured out how to pint out my own films.. and figured thats a way I could put my own spin on hydro dipping.. and what I was going to hydro dip was a skull.
I use a lot of skulls in my art because.. I dunno.. I like mixing something we associate with death and mixing it with something that represents life.. like flowers.. so... cool.
I do feel like its kinda a cop out cause its such an easy juxtaposition of taking something morbid and making it cute but.. make it anyway right?
I was also having a hard time get it to work out how I wanted so I kept of experimenting and trying to make it work.. A big part f my experimenting is probably taking things too far... but thats part of the fun.
For me the creative journey and process is way more fulfilling that actually finishing.
Thanks for VSCO fo sponsoring this video:)
