Well, rising senior welcome to this part of your life. My first wisdom I dispense unto thee is to Save and document literally all your work, and this includes your sketchbook too! I literally went through my senior year as a blazing inferno and I mean literally, my house burnt up, so I now recognize all those years of work and sketchbooks i'd have loved to have are gone forever. I recommend making sketch book tour videos and saving everything to the google drive. Another wisdom for you, possible friend or foe, is to do art that is good for you. I spent so much time this year making art I was just in tune with and happy that I was making, and not only was it cathartic but also has helped me significantly improve. Another wisdom for you, is to try and branch out on the types of things you do! I really loved the idea and process of making my own things for myself like sketchbooks, so don't be afraid to try new art stuff! Finally, please start your college stuff early, because you never know when your house may become all crispy, your grandfather's house condemned and now you have to wheel him around your house.

Sarcastically and sincerely like always,

Blake Weis
