One day closer

I was 15 years old when I heard Pink Floyd's song, Time. The lyrics made a big impression, as all profound words did at this age: 

"And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking, 

Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older, 

Shorter of breath and one day closer to death."

I realized at that moment how every one of us is one day closer to this, that or the other. Nowadays, I choose bliss, other days balance, glory, hysteria or peace. 

Fast forward a few years, and school was in: Manipulating lines, painting gestures, recognizing inspiration and taking risk, said my professors; and continue to experiment with digital and visual arts. I walked the corporate line for awhile, worked as a graphic designer, pre-press associate and art director, looking for experience or affirmation I guess, in my case it was the moment I realized; I got this.

In high school I designed and printed my first t-shirt inspired by bad brain's album: Quickness, and I was hooked. Music, among other subjects continue to be my inspiration, art is my vessel and the voices in my head have an outlet. Here is to following your passion, your hustle, your dreams. My name is Jorge Arce, the wonderful mess behind Armagraphics, hit me up and let's collaborate on your next venture.
