I don't really think of titles while I'm working and the naming sense if probably the most underutilized creative muscle I got. And I have a lot.

For this piece, I embedded the link to the youtube video featuring Anthony Jones's talk about Illustrating Horror Creatures. I wanted to capture the textures from the brushes he used but only substituted it for whatever default options available on iArtbook in apple. There's a saying that only amateurs blame their tools and I do believe that it's a skill issue.

The QR code I use as a watermark leads to my @artofadamada account on Hive as a landing page whenever I share my work across other social media. I doubt I'd get a significant reach as I am now but if I can get more people curious about where that QR code leads, hopefully it converts to more sign ups on the platform.
