You ever look at someone and wish there was a person inside?

Today I woke up very aware of time and the fleeting nature of most things (good or bad).
So many things I usually overlook are glaring at me like headlights noticed a split-second too late.
And in the center of it all … an all-too-familiar song.

*the rest of the world
everybody likes to use our culture to get famous or get street cred or make it big but they hate us
and we just give it away
sharing is one thing but we're constantly exploited and profited off of with no get back
from music to style to slang it's all the same.

I just saw Gobelins’ “Niccolo.”
I was held utterly in thrall.
I’m a complete sucker for symbolism.

The creation of art is inherently vulnerable. To create is to expose the parts of yourself that people rarely get to see, even when the piece is not deliberately personal.

Simplifying (stylizing) and animating locs by hand (no computer models, particles, automated physics systems, or AI — just drawing) is a very interesting experience.
I’ve found it surprisingly intuitive. I’ll have to do it more often.

I’ve officially got artistic tunnel vision. Everything else is kind of blurry and muffled in the background. It’s kind of like being under water.

I want more illustrator friends. I had many peers who liked to draw when I was little, but I rarely encounter illustrators & graphic designers in my adult life (I guess we’re all inside drawing 😅).
I cross paths with musicians & writers in spades. I guess ppl are more likely to grow out of drawing.

Better that the heart should hurt for that which reaches back in earnest, my Dear Friend.

At the beginning of June, someone very dear to me was killed (& the way I found out was very jarring). It’s partly why I was so determined to experience joy this Summer.
I’ve mostly processed it, I think. But it has completely changed my perspective on many things — especially human connection.

Are you a friend to those who are friends to you? When people show up for you, do you show up for them? Do you know how it feels for another person to be your friend? Do you think about how you want being your friend to feel?
Just musing.

Perseverance. Societal patience is paper thin. We want things to END SWIFTLY! No lessons learned. Just moving on. Limping and leaning. Begging for the next opportunity to poorly show up bc we have NOT healed or learned from the last one. Wounded and sorely infected but “Stay Ready!”

I’m not sure if I’ve ever asked anyone for anything but time.
I don’t know that anyone could give me anything of greater value. Love is obviously supremely important, but what is love in the absence of time?

What do you suppose they called egads before everything went digital?
Probably just gads, right?
Yeah. That’s probably what they were called back then.
