Thanksgiving 2025

     I might not be doing this blog full time anymore, but I'm still doing this Thanksgiving post. On top of some photos, I also have a few drawings I want to share for the fact that I'm want to focus on my art more. Enjoy!

Final Blog

       Well, it looks like it's finally time. I'm sure you've noticed, but I've been losing steam with these blogs recently. While a part of me does want to keep going, I feel as if doing this hasn't been benefiting me. It does not help that they're not the best at putting me out there, and I have better avenues to express my thoughts and plans. So, as the title says, this will be my final blog.

      I want to start off by apologizing to those who have read and enjoyed these blogs in the past, and continued to. I know this probably wasn't the most enlightening and entertaining thing out there, but it kept your attention for some  time.  I also want to thank you for your support, whether it had been big or small, and hope you can continue it in my other endeavors. As it stand though, this blog, as it is, won't be continued anymore.

     Going forward, I intend to use more of my social media presence that I've built to interact with my audience. Those are places where I can more easily show my portfolio, whilst also having more of a platform to speak on. On top of that, I feel I could be more genuine with my feelings, instead of forcing myself to come up with a new topic, and try to talk about it.

    As for what happens to this blog, I guess I'll still keep it around as an archive. Maybe I'll update it once in a while with a photography collage, or some shower thoughts. Other than that, this is it. Thank you for sticking around, and I hope you check me out on my other platforms. If you do, then please, stay tuned!

Holiday Cards 2025

 

   It's that time of year again! Here are the holiday cards I have made for 2025! Hope you enjoy!

Super Bowl Commercials

    Ah the Superbowl, a proud American tradition since it's inception. An even prouder tradition however would have to be the Superbowl commercials! On one of the most watched events ever, you want to make sure your product's name leaves an impact on consumers. Adjacent to this, advertising on the event is no cheap fee; so be able to pitch something people want to invest in. So, let's use these points to better go over what makes a Superbowl commercial terrific!

      In the instance  of leaving an impression, remember that a variety of people will see this; many who don't buy the product. On the flipside, you have people who swear by the product that you'll want to entertain.  As such, one will notice these commercials being grand spectacles: Celebrity appearances, storylines built through other commercials, insane scenarios, etc. This is what helps a Superbowl commercial stand out from regular commercials, and what makes them feel like a special event. 

      Once again though, bear in mind that none of these promises means a commercial will be made. The charging fee the Superbowl has for advertisements is astronomically absurd. As such, it feels as if some Superbowl commercials feel samey nowadays; you definitely want to create something to appeal to higher-ups, but that also stands out. Also ensure to keep the budget on these commercials reasonable. Should they flop, chances are it will damage your reputation if you made a million dollar stinker.

      With those two limitations in mind, good Superbowl commercials should be easy to make. However, that isn't necessarily the case; as stated before, recent commercial tend to be a little bland. Added to that, neither issue is essentially easy to overcome. While with enough elbow grease, one could make something entertaining, it's still a challenge. However, making a quick, fun commercial is still possible, so let's not give up! Than you once again for reading, and stay tuned!
