Welcome to RKTBlog!
I’ve never been terribly good at this blogging thing. I’ve given it a few shots before, and never with much success. English is kinda my second language, which is funny because I don’t speak anything else… …unless you count the language of visuals, which I do. Writing takes me a long of time, and speaking probably should, considering the jibberish that can come out of my mouth.
So why should I try blogging again?
For those who don’t know me, I am an illustrator and designer. Actually, that’s the short list; I’ve been known to dabble in a lot of things, including video, animation, fine arts, and now screenwriting. I’m interested in everything creative, although I can never find enough time to satisfy all those urges. It’s hard to sustain a creative life in a world constantly demands the next rent check and lately, I feel like I’ve lost focus.
So, I’m establishing this page as a sort of online sketchbook. I’ve often considered myself an “art exhibitionist”, and my best work is usually done in the open. I also love discussing the theories behind art and design. I’ve taught a number of college level classes, and in talking to my students and preparing for classes, I would often become inspired to push my own work farther.
At any rate, I plan to update this blog a couple of times a week. I’m setting a modest goal in the hopes that I can keep it up. I hope you enjoy my work and come back soon!
