In Chapter 10 of Steal Like an Artist I was reminded of the importance of working hard but still creatively. When creative work comes limitations mean freedom. There are no limitations. Do what you feel is right and what you like to do with the materials you are provided with. There shouldn't be excuses for not trying something out. Constraints can help you be creative by pushing you to develop something bigger starting with something smaller. For example, Dr. Seuss initially wrote The Cat and The Hat with 236 words. He was constrained by his editor to write it in 50 words and that lead to one of the most popular children's book of all time. Sometimes being constrained helps us get our point and work across better.
Editing photography with cool effects has been something I wanted to do. This was a test shot for my project 4 collaboration. I was only given one photograph so I decided to add fire to each hand to give a surreal superhero look.
