I tend to put off personal projects because I worry they won’t be perfect. It doesn’t matter if they’re perfect, do it & share! #cmtakeaways

When @Vichcraft questioned whether there was room for her, she figured out her own aesthetic & what the community was lacking. #CMTakeaways

Start with yourself, grow to your friends, then mentors, then a community like @Chicago_CM. Scary? Yes. Worth it? Totally. #cmtakeaways

My favorite day of the month is Creative Mornings! Thanks again @chicago_cm and Ms. amazing Jenna @vichcraft “Find what is missing in the creative industry and fill that void” I’m truly inspired, per usual. #cmtakeaways #CreativeMornings #vichcraft #keepartalive #enjoyart #design

Next up: Tim Seeley, one of those “slash” people…a writer-slash-artist, chimes in on our Ethics series . He and 4 others founded Four Star Studios when they decided they were tired of working from home and rented an office together just to get out of the house. It didn’t take long for them to realize they had significant art, writing, design and programming talent gathered under one roof. You can find Tim in Chicago, where he is never far from his 80s action figure collection. Luckily, we have Tim for a whole two hours on Friday, Feb. 26. Ditch your morning meetings and join us at Onion Productions! Whataya say?

Triple high five!
