I had a professor in college who used to start every day by making us write for the first 10 minutes of class. No rules or guidelines, just throw down the random thoughts that whirled in your head. Spilling ink, making random doodles, and exploring my thoughts, I would often find from this exercise, a whole new spark of creativity... This is my spilled ink.



 

//Meet Maika Maile

Maika is the lead singer of a band called ‘There For Tomorrow’ who is based out of Orlando, Florida. Besides the fact that they are a talented group of guys, I have also have had the great privilege of doing a number of merch designs for these guys over the years - anytime I get the opportunity to work with a band that I listen to and respect, makes my job that more enjoyable.

Originally I came across this video of Maika about a year ago and was deeply moved by his story, his strength, and his outlook on life.  But I have since forgot about it until this morning, when I got a call from a friend of mine on the west coast asking about this video.  After going through the archives, I found this video and decided to watch it once again.  Just as I imagined, it hit me as hard as it did the first time I watched it. Thus, why I thought it would be a worthy blog post.

I hope this has the same effect on you, as it did on me.
