hang in there kid, it's only tuesday...

Going to barnes and noble + scalding my tounge on chai + shattering my plate and cookie on the floor = the summation of what this week has been.

But the pain in my mouth is subsiding. They brought me a new cookie and I didn't even have to ask. I have two art books beside me. And have my relaxing playlist (alabama shakes, the mynabirds, tennis....) piping through my headphones to soothe me down.

Oh yea, and I'm officially done with the past 13 years of my life (high school) tomorrow, and one step closer to my next journey (college).

Maybe there's hope for this week after all.

Book: Art From Intuition

Definition of intuition (their version): In-tu-i-tion:1). last nights dream + impulsive idea + weird uncle + too much coffee + mystical vision + unrequited desire = Intuition.

This book is filled with tons of exercises to reconnect with the childlike simplicity of drawing, and separating the over analytical mind from the art.

I cant wait to experiment with some of the techniques!
