If you’re looking to add a touch of intrigue to your wardrobe, look no further than my Hypno Bat t-shirts. With their catchy, hypnotic design, these shirts are guaranteed to mesmerise your friends. But be warned: staring too long might just draw you into their spell!
This concept of captivating yet cautionary allure mirrors the one luxury I can’t live without as an artist—my phone. It’s incredible how much creative power fits in the palm of my hand. My journey with digital art began on my phone. I illustrated my first children’s book using Adobe Draw, right from my phone screen.
What’s the one luxury you can’t live without?
But my phone’s impact doesn’t stop at illustration. I’ve recorded numerous podcasts, interviewing artists from all over the world, with nothing but my phone. It’s been my primary tool for creating and selling artwork globally. This little device has removed traditional gatekeepers in the arts, democratising creativity for everyone.
However, there’s a dark side to this powerful tool. Just like the hypnotic gaze of my Hypno Bat t-shirts, the temptation to doom scroll is real. It’s easy to get lost in an endless feed of content, which can stifle creativity and productivity. Beware the stare—it can kill your artistic spirit.
In essence, my phone has revolutionized my art practice, making it an indispensable part of my creative process. From sketching and illustrating to connecting and sharing, it’s a versatile tool that has opened countless doors. Just remember to use it wisely and avoid the pitfalls of mindless scrolling. Embrace the power of creation and let your Hypno Bat t-shirt be a reminder of the mesmerizing magic that thoughtful, intentional use of technology can bring.
