2020 as a creative definitely came with its struggles, however, I do think that 2020 gave many of us the opportunity to dip our toes into a lot of new and unknown waters and figure out what works for us. In this video I share my journey through the chaos that was 2020 and how I plan to take what I learned and apply it to 2021!
QUESTION OF THE DAY:
What are some of your goals going into 2021? Let me know! Would love to connect with you on them ⭐

This was a great video Andy, and I really enjoyed a little bit deeper look into your own outlook. You mentioned a word in this video which I think I've lost a grasp of over the last few months. Ambition. I lost my ambition even after all the great intentions I had in the outset of 2020. I appreciate the work you do here and on Twitch, and finding the community was one of the best things I managed to do last year even though it was dumb luck. Keep up the great work and I cant wait for the next upload. Take it easy man 💪

Gorgeous way to start off your 2021! You seem to have really made solid use of the pandemic year and this has resulted in a stunning glow up 💕! I also hope to hustle really hard this year and hopefully start making merch and finding steadier client work as an illustrator, so I’m looking forward to growing with you even more in 2021 and beyond!
