Listen to the most recent episode of my podcast: Special thanks from Painter a Files Podcast . Season 3 is coming https://anchor.fm/jawara-blake/episodes/Special-thanks-from-Painter-a-Files-Podcast—Season-3-is-coming-e4hsrb
The things are all rolling right and I must keep moving forward. I love that silly podcast and some of you do also. So I make it for us. 
It’s so easy with everything up in the air to forget to be kind. Not in a you have no manners but in a go out of your way to do something nice for yourself and other people. 
some times the journey is to just get to kind moments. It’s the journey not the destination to focus on. You will get there when you get there.
I’m still learning my voice in photography. I know I really enjoy macro but my subject is always random. I’m working on it.

I think I’m chasing a moment of peace and madness in my work. It’s that chance you get in making where the world melts and your focus is 1000%. It’s almost impossible but it’s the heart beat of my creative process. 
Rest is for the plain and plain is not sexy.

I was walking my dog this morning at 6 AM. She is old so when she needs to go, we get up quick. As we are out walking in the grass I hear this music cut the silence and it’s this music from Ethiopia. Trying to describe it as a polka with an African twist doesn’t feel right but it sounds right, you know? The world is funny with how things sound like others and then in that, you wonder where it originates? Random thought while the world sleeps.
I’m studying the work of W Eugene Smith today. His work is so powerful. He was a wartime photographer in the mid 20th century. He hated the war and worked for Life magazine. Life magazine has inspired a huge part of my visual Rolodex.
It’s not so much the image but the feeling it gives me with the eyes. I love the power of eyes. Maybe that is why I paint them first. A bad set of eyes tank a painting for me. It’s not so much the image but the feeling it gives me with the eyes. I love the power of eyes. Maybe that is way I paint them first. A bad set of eyes tank a painting for me.
I’m in this spot where I’m setting up for the show with my tags but I don’t feel like I’m making anything artist. It is a pang of impossible guilt because I know if I start something now I will not finish my project with the tags.
Side notes,
The 6 of 30 book is coming out in the Summer.
tchau,
Jaws
