Hey friend! How are you today? Good morning and happy Thursday! Yay for Thursdays! This is one of the best days there is, I think so! I mean, just by being alive and breathing is enough I guess. Wish I could feel it all the time, but we have our bad moments. ANYWAY, How are you? How are things? How is the weather? I'm okay, overall, and the weather is kinda odd, it gets really hot for a fall day, but not necessarily as bright as summer, because of the clouds. I am eager for some cold winds.
I am thinking what should I draw next, something fairly enjoyable for today? Or should I resume my practices when my books arrive? I'm not sure, really... I think I haven't mentioned, but I did decide to go ahead and purchase some books by my favorite illustrator (that is alive in this day and age, I mean) Johanna Basford. The main product I acquired was her book "30 days of Creativity", Which I'm very curious to see if will boost my ideas or not. In that line, I also got her coloring one "World of Wonders" because I love what she built in that book and I want to use it in my drawings. Also, I want to take a look at her Christmas book, I am very fond of Christmas, as you guys probably know. It's such a beautiful time, where decorations comes up, nice food, memories, good will and celebration towards the birth of Jesus. I'm not that religious, but I live with those who are, my grandma for example, and her faith inspires me a lot, because it is one that gives her a lot of solidity. I look up to my grandma in some ways, I mean, nobody is perfect, but she is really resilient and resourceful, and have been really enduring life after the passing of Grandpa, so that is something I admire on her. There are of course our ideas in common on the realm of politics and so on, I have a bigger intellectual baggage than her, but we both reached pretty much the same conclusions. Well, now that we covered my admiration towards my grandma, my love of Christmas and the books I got, that should be arriving at some point soon, what about the drawings I'd do? I have some reference pictures of some streamer friends I'd like to pay homage to, such as Luthimir, Pala, my old streamer friend Luke. I also told the Marimbros a while back I was planning on work on a nice portrait of them (individually), and I have a good idea on what to do for them. I keep on saying to friends and people I appreciate I plan on work on something for them, and I do plan, but unfortunately since I'm not a pro, I do this when I'm more inclined to do, mentally, some projects take a long time to be fulfilled. I mean, I could just force myself to do it and acquire a routine, but, I don't like on doing stuff I won't be proud of. I like to do it in that creative mindset! If I'm not like that... I don't know, an important part of the experience is gone, and I won't focus, won't create anything of value to me, and really what is the point, since this is not my job? And speaking of which, I don't even want Art to be my main source of income, it would destroy it for me I feel. Not that I had the chance or opportunity to reach that point anyway.
Well, this post, most of it was written in my journal! How awesome is that! I feel like I've been writing double time since I started it and I love it! All those creative juices, though not all of what I write would end up here. And it's getting quite long now isn't it? This post, so I believe it's time to wrap it up. Again, happy Thursday! And if you don't mind, I'll return on thinking what game should I play right now. See you again real REAL soon, I hope!
