Drawing, Painting, Traveling, Visiting art galleries, Journaling, Video editing

During my free time, I often find myself drawing whatever comes to mind whether it be a tattoo idea, or a random concept that I thought to illustrate on paper. I try to express myself through multiple mediums but I find it easiest to paint digitally. I visit art galleries from time to time - the MET and MOMA being my favorite for now. When I'm not illustrating my thoughts, I'm traveling across the states, and hopefully in the near future - the world. While I take these excursions, it always help to journal about everything I see, including the interactions I have with new people. Lastly, video editing is certainly one of my favorite hobbies to do. Back in grad school, I had to create my own traiulers for my own original movies. It came to a point where the coursework felt more like a fun side quest to complete than an assignment, simply because I found it to be too fun.
