I’m Not A Writer


As creative as the title is it’s true, I am NOT a writer.
My blog won’t be filled will poetic wisdom or anything I would consider truly influential, but that was never my intention anyway.
My hope was to use this blog to answer questions, talk about my own life and even about past projects that were extra challenging and lessons that I have learned over my ten years of experience. Firstly, this blog is going to be HONEST. This is me, and only me.
Every now and then I’ll post a video or a few pictures and hopefully teach you a little something that can help you down the road, but for the most part it’s just going to be me telling you about my experiences and my trials and my career (which really has only just begun).
So if you’re OK with that and actually might be interested to read more over time, go ahead and subscribe. Read my thoughts. Enjoy my humor (which I can only pray comes through in my writing) and most of all, remember, I’m just a human being with my own life and my own challenges trying to make life a little more fun and a lot more creative.
Till next time. Keep Creative.
Lexi

Shut Up and Love Yourself

I have a hard time thinking positively about myself. Doubt that I’m the only one on this big blue planet that feels this way from time to time, but when your job requires you to put yourself out there on a daily basis to find work and create a following, having self doubt really can cause problems (at least it does for me). I’m not looking for pity from anyone, I’m just telling everyone how I personally feel relatively often. There are a lot of factors I can contribute to these feels. A lot of things that have happened in the past has effected me and continues to effect me on a daily basis. trying to overcome that little voice in your head telling you repeatedly, “why do you even bother”, or ,”you’ll never been good enough”, or one of my favorites, “you are a failure”. There area times I don’t hear these voices nearly as strongly as other times, usually when I’m busy on a project and being paid well enough to feel like I’m contributing to my little family. But when the projects finish ...

Sweet Talkers

Let me quickly start by saying that this post may come off a little harsh on some people. My intention is not to upset anyone but to voice my own point of view based on past experiences… **TRIGGER WARNING** … haha I bet, if you’re anything like me who has has put years of your life into your skills, you’ve come across a few people who I like to call “sweet talkers”. The reason I call them this is because when someone wants something for nothing, they’ll start off talking to you so sweetly. They start with, “Hi! I love your work. You really do a fantastic job! I could never do what you do…” and yadda yadda yadda… sweet sweet sweet… and you KNOW the request is coming… and you KNOW they’re going to offer you next to NOTHING… or worse… nothing at all… or better yet, “EXPOSURE”… If you can’t tell by my typing, I’m rolling my eyes extremely hard. I have met too many people like this who expect everything for nothing or pennies on the dollar. All those sweet things they were s...

And So It Begins…

Let me introduce myself.  My name is Alexa Terry Hanson.  I like to draw.  When I was about ten years old I found a copy of “The Art of Animation” in my middle school art class. I spent most of my lunch periods in there doodling. As I glanced at the pages, my obsession began. Each page, each lesson, each technique had me delve deeper and deeper into a world I only at that moment truly was beginning to understand.  I have always loved animated films and Saturday morning cartoons. With their bright colors, beautiful characters, and entertaining stories, I always wanted more. I grew up in the 90’s which most everyone knows as the golden age of Disney. The Little Mermaid was the first movie I ever saw in theaters. With Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast,The Lion King and others filling my head with such beautiful color and creativity, it doesn’t surprise me at all that I began to draw as young as three years old (according to my mother). Years of doodling, sketchi...
