I feel like this life is under water. A season of time cut with Thyme. All these flavors based inside one another and no cook time in sight.

It can be hard to be your own motivation.

no one feels the edge of over cooked like you do when creativity is over stretched. Inktober is a mixture of great ideas and will power sliced with madness and not always the good kind.

in my attempts to find clarity I walk places, like Chinatown. Old shops and wild smells. we shall see as I grow into new things. Some say the worst critics are self. I feel that is a half truth. I say it’s family. They build and break you with good intentions. just breath little Galeras. It gets easier and keep making always.

Inktober

The build up

Inktober for most artist’s is exciting and often insanity for all of October. We see it as this often impossible task. So my secret is to treat it like just a fun drawing session with my brushes. I try to do as many as I can in one setting. I know those aren’t the rules but the hell with the rules. Life comes at you some days sideways. The idea that you have enough time to think and prep for 31 days is stupid. I for one have commissions to do in addition to Inktober that are important also. I’m sure a lot of us do. We are all very talented.

Just breath and promise yourself to try and that is what is important. If you are even doing it for a day then that is a big deal and I would love to see it. Leave me a link to your art so we can see it. Share with us.

I use my patreon all the time to share my mind, my heart and my art. Come and see.

I’m going to try to just use Sumi ink this month for Inktober.

Painter Files- paint count

Resting in the night sky covered in paint.

2 but not three in one.

Intrepid travelings of a painter mind wrapped tight like cough drops in tins.

As one lays waste to the imaginary making thins real on the page.

an end zone of making.

7 for the day

All the suns in the oceans

Can’t say I’m the shiniest penny but I make beautiful dreams. They are like songs for your eyes.

Painter Files podcast ep 2.0 “little crowd”I fear a little bit developing film because it is the last bit of chaos I’m giving over control to a stranger with. I love the madness of just doing for my self in time.
