Always making
Hola Galeras,
Today we are going to try to teach you my philosophy of inking. I’ll use some words to help you lesson some techniques. I feel this will give you the tools to better make and understand how I can to be. Ink is freedom in a lot of ways.
I figure Galeras this would be fun today. Come chill with me and we can draw together.
The artist making things. The fear and the love for making.
The journey of this painting is over and I’m happy to feel so full from it. The trip taught me so much and I’m better for it.
Tools, get it?
So as a painter, my big tools are not those but these.
I say over and over again “clean your tools” to myself at myself. I work with ink and paint and to be honest the ink destroys a lot of my brushes but I still love it.
They are my little babies and I should treat them to a pleasant wash from time to time. It’s a charming moment of the looking glass.
Honestly save your good brushes by washing them less but when I do wash them, do it well.
I have an issue of using half a soap each time I wash all my brushes. They seem to enjoy it.
The main point of all of this is that the big step in being a professional painter is wash your brushes but not to much.
Painter out,
Jaws

It’s me sharing a roll of film with you that is normally exclusive to my page. I have done around 21 roll this year ish. I hope you enjoy this one.
I have this way about me that I feed off of my inner voice trying to talk me out of things. It mostly is a passive thing but some times I’m enraged by the self doubt. I cut bits of it away to see the problem and try to find solutions either on paper with paint and ink or writing it out. This painting was fighting me and then I spoke with Alec and it came to me.
The engine is parts, so paint it in parts.
I like how it is going now. I was tempted to destroy it and start something else but I’m stubborn.
Sometimes painting in the dark helps me see ways the light can’t show me.
More to come mi Gente.
It feels so weird Galeras to make art and not think about it. It’s a reflection of a meditation I made up for myself.
