About
Aaron Porter is a former newspaper artist with more years in the business than he cares to admit. He is still a graphic journalist, multimedia artist, illustrator, painter or any of the numerous titles he has held over the years.
But first and foremost Aaron is a creative individual. And here is where he discusses his and others creative explorations in any media where creativity can be challenged.
The title of this blog was born out of the fact that good things can come of ‘calamities.’ All artist must take risks with their work and the majority of most artists’ work is a series of learning experiences through failure, to ultimately create something worthwhile.
From risks and failures come new ideas, innovations and beautiful art.
