At first I didn’t know where this video was going and thought that it was going to be a bit boring actually. Maybe it was how slow the speaker started off trying to explain these paintings he ended up reinventing. I was trying to grasp the point of the video. As the video kept going he became a little more relatable in stating that he had to complete these drawings how he best saw art. Two points were brought up: 1. There needs to be a willingness to expose oneself to a critical audience and not to suggest confidence about what one is doing. 2. Select two drawings for the price of one.  The point is bring the idea of doubt into graphics. He was pretty vulnerable when it came to not knowing how to complete the one project and he let his audience know that, although that usually is a big no no.  I think it leaves rooms for greater expression. This turned out to be a great video.

I appreciate that Hoke did not allow his disability of dyslexia to set him back and not succeed at anything. He didn't see it as a burden, but a gift. Most people would look down on what they had, rather than flipping the script and finding another way to do something you probably had no idea you could do or be good at. Doodling is his way of communicating. I love that! His perspective was super positive.  He took what he loved to do and made a career out of it. Always thinking about the next best thing. I think that a lot of people's best inventions tend to stem from either what they love to do or how they can make something better. He even went as far as reaching out to Nike, which I think was
