my muse // creativity takes courage

some people may see 

only the black and white, 

but sometimes we are forced 

to see the grey areas.

inspired by: collage layouts, glassy textures, 

marble, latex leather, indie music,

 geometric/triangular shapes...

embrace the diversity + creativity 

that surrounds you. because it's what 

makes us different from each other.

we all think different. 

we all create different.

my muse // winter whites

winter whites-- chelsea martinez

hello december,

you inspire me.

you inspire me to be thankful 

for the ups and downs of the year 

that is passing me by;

saying hello and then saying goodbye.

you inspire me to look forward 

to the year to come. 

you tell me that i am progressing 

and failing at the same time. 

before long, i'll be saying 

goodbye december, 

you inspired me. 

my muse // simplistic

november has past me by too quickly. 

i least have had the chance to expand my abilities 

to designing business cards! 

today has been a rough day being sick

and what not, but doesn't stop me from putting up a post

wrapping up the month. 

i have been obsessed with these textures, ideas,

 colors, i.e. + i wanted to share them with you all. 

it is all about the simple things in life 

and simplistic things in design. 

hope you enjoy my muses as much as i do.

i love sharing what is inspiring me. xx

\\ my muse // 

mexican inspiration lingers in my heart today. 

the textures, embroidery, and colors 

are rich, happy, and beautiful. 

my abuelito, who is 86, still resides in the streets of 

san francisco, san luis potosi. 

my dad goes frequently to take care of him,

 and is there now, 

so i constantly have thoughts of the hot 

mexican sun and the orange rudy dirt. 

i miss it so much.

 my sweet vale is taking me to visit 

a whole new part of mexico i've never seen, guanajuato.

 his hometown, where he was born and raised until he was nine years old. so, let's just say i'm beyond excited to not only be in the place i love, but to meet all of his family. 

the older i get the more in love with mexico i become.

i even tell valentin that one day, i want to live there for a year or two and explore our culture 

and make memories and adventures to tell. //

raw and bare

// my muse //

lately, i have been obsessed with black and white, 

circles, lower case letters. 

there is something about how b&w makes everything look 

pure and like it is in it's raw and bare form. 

the color of skin and the lights in the middle of the street. mysterious. timeless. like an optical illusion. 

be dope + happy | wise words

muse/musing: a point of reflection or thought.

my muses for this week: script: art of handwriting, 
Paris photography,in honor of 
coachella coming up soon (happy festivities), 
waking up beside my soul mate every morning, and the texture + color of the ocean... seafoam is my favorite summer
 color this year. 

Be happy and Happy musing!!
