In Which I read the Romantic Manifesto, by Mrs. Rand

Good morning, dear friend, reader of this present post! Happy Sunday, how are you? How was the rest of your week? I hope you are well, and the week went as planned? How is the weather? Here, the weather is pleasant, it is characteristic of this time of year for the weather to be as such, it is the season of colder winds and some rain, which I appreciate. Not as much rain this July, so far, as on the winter of 2017, which I think was quite rainy, but well. I am tired, feels like I am always tired these days, even if I don't want to sleep all the time.  Apart from tired, I am okay, I'd say. Not much else to say besides some moments where loneliness gets more pronounced. I wish I could meet some online friend someday, I am fond of them all! Apart from that, I am reading a brilliant book by Mrs. Rand, whom I am so fond of. It is the Romantic Manifesto, and it gives voice to my fatigue of tropes in popular media. It is such a wonderful descriptive work on what is art, what is romant...

In which we have an update on my activity as a creator!

Hello everyone, and good morning, happy Saturday! How are you today? How are things going? I wish you the best and hope all is well with you! Thank you so much for being here! I'm doing okay, just very tired at the moment, but anyway, just here writing on the blog, seeing my friend Mint stream on Twitch, and also hanging out on Discord, all at once lol, quite the multitasking! Never said I was good at it though, just saying that is the intention! Well, so I told you guys I enrolled in the course right, did I tell you guys what was that about? I don't think I did, it's ministered by the Spanish Illustrator Adolfo Serra, and I pretty much love it, I watched U1 yesterday, that talks about the concept of a illustration book, a story "for children" and how to create a script for your own creations, was pretty nice I have to say! I hope to have absosbed the content of it pretty well, I should talk about it more in the future! Also, I made some purchases on Amazon yesterday, and amongst them I bought this book by Johanna Basford, one of my favorite artists! She is the author of anti-stress books of coloring, I have to say they don't work for everyone, but they're an excellent way to spend your time, I know because I have spent quite a bit of my time playing with them! Back in the senior year of High School, I used to sit with my buddies and just color page after page of her books! My bud Camila had a nice collection of color pencils, so that was a plus! I never heard of Camila anymore, unfortunate, but the friendship just faded, but the memories remain! Well, here's a sample of one of her works:

Today's post brings a bit of a creator's journal lol, with some ideas about what to write, what to color, and so on, I hope those may help my ideas brew and so things work well just fine, there is no guarantee it will though, so let's enjoy the moment! Talking about the drawing I just shared, I really love it! It's quite the inspiration for when I draw indeed, and I look forward to check the work of this particular artist more in depth! I hope to share more of my insights on this when the book arrives, until then, let's enjoy the moment, and wait... wish you the best my friend, hope you may have a very pleasant day, and things be fine, see you next time, hopefully soon!
PS: If you like, save this image, print it or color on the computer if you have the proper software for it, the result may be really cool! If you'd like also, make sure to share it with me sending me via email or on social media! Make sure to tag the artist as well if you do!
