Lil life update, long overdue 🤧

I started color of the day as a side project with no expectations

I remember being hesitant to even show it to anyone lol. Seriously crazy to see how far it’s come since then

Mac Miller inspired.

[James Cannella @JamesCannella]

Fuck. I don’t even know how to process this one yet. He’s had such an impact on me over the years. RIP Mac 😞

[James Cannella @JamesCannella]

@notdprimero @marisavalentine YEAH. Don’t come crying to me when you can’t get into your house cause there’s a neighborhood’s worth of trash blocking your door

[James Cannella @JamesCannella]

NYC is great, don’t get me wrong.

But I’m 100% not trying to be here when the Black Plague hits again from all these rats and mountains of trash everywhere

[James Cannella @JamesCannella]

@marisavalentine Have fun while your city is under water and basically living in the medieval times

[James Cannella @JamesCannella]

Redid some print and packaging design from the Accendi rebrand last year ✨

Revisiting old projects lately to gear-up for branding the new studio.

[James Cannella @JamesCannella]

I swear Chicago is the only place I’ve been mean mugged inside a Whole Foods lmao

[James Cannella @JamesCannella]

Some more details on everything -

The two flyers are thank you letters for clients after a project ends.

Made them using pictures taken on trips over the last year as hard evidence of my life outside work lol

[James Cannella @JamesCannella]

Finishing up some self-branding work

I’ve been trying to decide whether or not to include the sketch lines on the back of the cards. Opinions much appreciated, I’ve been thinking about this too long at this point 🤕

[James Cannella @JamesCannella]

I don’t think my younger self could have coped with knowing one day I'd be steady listening to a rapper who sounds identical to Sheen

[James Cannella @JamesCannella]

@fuckasparagus My dude. Thank you 😤

[James Cannella @JamesCannella]

@rudxboiii Thank you man, appreciate you as always. Same on your end 🤞

[James Cannella @JamesCannella]

Lil life update, long overdue 🤧

[James Cannella @JamesCannella]

@CalebZahm Of course bro 🤘💕

[James Cannella @JamesCannella]

Thanks to everyone for sticking with me despite falling off the face of the earth for a bit LOL.

Love you all 💞

[James Cannella @JamesCannella]

This doesn't mean Accendi is done.

I'll be releasing new gear with the new studio name, throwing events with @color_OTD like the Accendi Release Party in 2016, & more.

The brand will live on, just in a different form - more details coming as I finalize everything.
