Linking the love from inspiration....

This journal was inspired by Natalie Tyler’s post

-

8 months ago I was a soul searching dreamer trying to answer a mystery that had plagued me for years – How can I link my love for ART, MUSIC and FASHION together without any University or Tafe degree?

The question that seemed impossible to answer intrigued me so much that i set out to conquer it. Today, I can finally say I am on solid ground and walking towards that reality.

Music was always in my heart, and at the best of times I would be humming a new rhythm along to anything. I started making music with very mixed results, but I knew that one day, the melodies I crafted would be heard and loved by many.

After years of creating the sound that is today known as Fixd, I realised that Art was vital to complete the musical experience. Logo’s, CD Covers, Websites and Banners all needed to be imagined and created to spread the sound further.

So, I began to create the Art needed to fit within the various themes of the musical paths. Inspired by the music and with no professional training, I honed my skills by experimenting in Paint Shop Pro (many years ago) and years later that led to Adobe Photoshop/Illustrator.

While the music and art were growing comparatively, I still was not completely satisfied with fashion being left behind, leaving my works limited to the internet realm. For some time I was lost in a world where satisfaction was only online, and in that moment I craved something to break that mould.

After accidentally stumbling upon Redbubble some time later (8 months ago) I quickly merged my love for music and art with the fashion world. My first shirt design purchase being the following -



I quickly realised the power of Redbubble and its platform for the creative soul. I was continually inspired by the multitude of amazing designers throughout the ‘bub’ and continually added work to my favourites list.

This constant barrage of new and unique designs from all over the world through the portal of Redbubble pushed my designs to limits I never thought possible in such a short amount of time. It taught me lessons of Action vs Complacency, Vision vs Fear and Creativity vs Negativity.

Now, with Music, Art and Fashion strongly interlaced, I can step forth each day with a confident stride knowing that I followed my dreams, and plan to inspire others to do the same. So if you happen to stumble upon Fixd Music or the Diesel Laws brand , realise that it all came from constant persistence of one dream, a passion and inspiration from many elements of life.

8 months ago, the Diesel Laws Brand was 3 words on a piece of paper, a hope, a dream of things to come. Things can only get stronger from here.

    I think I would die without music. I think the last year or so on the bubble has made me realise how much happier I am when I’m immersed in what I love. Great journal entry DL!

  • Diesel Laws replied

    Me too. There are so many forms of music also, and to hear the different viewpoints and instruments from many people is amazing. Thanks for your comment and thank you TOTALLY for setting the challenge.

    What I think is really great and what inspires me from your journal – you stepped out…you took the chance and followed your dream. This may have been your answer to Nat’s challenge, but I suspect it just may inspire a great many people to grab hold of their own dream and shake out the moths.

    Very well done.

  • Diesel Laws replied

    Thank you gracey, and I hope it does just that.

    And clearly, DL, you are adding writing to your repertoire. Well done!

    There’ a word – something like synergy, can’t recall, where some people can experience one sense through another. A friend swears he can see music. Maybe a crossed link in synapses. So maybe tying things together is not so difficult. For the rest of us mere mortals, it is sheer hard work.
    Keep on keeping on.
