I know this is a sensitive subject - but after reading about the passing of Virgil today, I had a rush of things come to mind. I’ve admired Virgil’s work for a long time. I love that he always seemed to be himself, had a crazy work ethic, wasn’t afraid to break the mold and had the confidence to put out even the simplest of designs. Creatives have the tendency to second-guess their work a lot because it’s so subjective and often personal. There have been so many times that I’ve felt that no one else would relate to something we’re putting out and have talked myself out of letting it see the light of day. Watching fashion designers at the highest levels has helped me overcome some of those fears.
I was flipping through Instagram and came across a post that said something like this:
If you feel off, go back to doing what makes you you
I kinda hate posts with sayings like this but that one made me think. I’ve felt off for a while now, and after a year of craziness it’s really hard as an entrepreneur to feel like going after big things without feeling like Charlie Brown trying to kick a football.
A kid's bedroom door. Comical signs saying "No parents allowed" and "dinosaur crossing" etc decorate the basic faux-wood facade.
Door swings out as if opened by a ghost and camera enters room, pans to the right, and centers on a kid performing generic play action at a comically small table.
