Collect books, even if you don’t plan on reading them right away. Nothing is more important than an unread library.

"It's one of my theories that when people give you advice, they're really just talking to themselves in the past."

We all have our own treasured collections. They can be physical cabinets of curiosities, say, living room bookshelves full of our favorite novels, records, and movies, or they can be more like intangible museums of the heart, our skulls lined with memories of places we’ve been, people we’ve met, experiences we’ve accumulated. We all carry around the weird and wonderful things we’ve come across while doing our work and living our lives. These mental scrapbooks form our tastes, and our tastes influence our work.

In case someone else also needed this reminder. (From "Steal Like An Artist" by Austin Kleon)
I've recently been struggling again to find/see a common thread within my art. I just feel like I'm interested in too many things, want to do too many different projects all at once & kind of chameleon my way through different art works, adapting each & every time.
I don't think that's ever really gonna change, but I'm slowly trying to learn to accept & embrace it.

I sketch this while I was listening to the audiobook "Show Your Work" by Austin Kleon, which was so nice and learn a lot so I decide to take some notes while drawing. There was a lot that stuck with me and there are things that I want to try, it was so nice to hear advice and reassurance about just showing what you love and let yourself make mistakes. It's okay. It doesn't have to be perfect. You are okay!

Get comfortable with being misunderstood, disparaged, or ignored. The trick is to be too busy doing your own work.

Field Notes on Learning #01: The Creative Process
Kumusta Kaibigan?
This is my blogging era redux, sans the oversharing. However, I'm still an advocate for sharing abundant knowledge. What better way to launch this blog than to freely share information that has touched my life in various ways?
This shortlist is highly inspired by Austin Kleon's newsletter which I religiously study in my free time. Plus, having heavy Gemini placements in my natal chart, particularly with mercury in it, makes writing and sharing ideas, observations, and realizations super healing for me.
There's no particular theme to this list. Just take what you need from this it to help you help yourself. Leave the rest for the others to enjoy.
Word of the Day: Vacillate. Adding new words to my vocabulary regularly is a great exercise to improve the way I express myself whether through speaking or writing. Here's one I learned recently:
2. As a creative, it is important to regularly ask yourself "Who Do You Make Art For?" In this podcast episode (Sep 2021) by Father Bronques of Make Art Not Content, he enumerates three major stages that creatives find themselves in when asking this question. Whatever your answer may be, they're totally valid.
3 Major Stages:
First (1st) Stage: Art for Self-Expression
Second (2nd) Stage: Art for Others
Third (3rd) Stage: Art for Uplifting a Target Audience
The third stage is the completion of this cycle. As creatives, we eventually go back to creating art for ourselves but with a more meaningful purpose and audience in mind. Having this mindset allows us to have a clearer direction in regard to our creative process.
3. An excerpt from the book I'm currently reading entitled "Be Not Afraid of Love: Lessons on Fear, Intimacy, and Connection" (2022) by Mimi Zhu:
"Rage is sacred and should be honored when expressed; honoring the rage means understanding it as an emotion, not a call to be violent or hurtful."
4. The other day ago I stumbled upon Yumi Sakugawa's Instagram post on "Inspiration for Creating Structure and Systems for Your Creative Practice". It emphasizes the importance of setting the ideal space, habits, and mindset to cultivate one's creativity with a sense of discipline but not restricting the creativity itself. By having healthy boundaries, we are able to maximize our fullest potential.
5. If you're into adult cartoons, a female lead, and conspiracy theories, I highly recommend watching Inside Job (2021) on Netflix. It's very fun and refreshing to watch, and maybe a tad bit relatable if you're the eldest/only daughter or if you have daddy issues. Just recently, they've released Part 2 so I'm excited to binge on this series!.
6. Today, December 3rd, marks Neptune going direct in Pisces, a major transit in astrology. Neptune, which is a generational planet, rules the sign of Pisces. It represents spirituality and the subconscious realms, particularly our intuition, illusions, and dreams. Finally ending its retrograde, the fogginess we've been experiencing since June will transform into clarity especially when it comes to our relationship with spirituality. This major astrological event allows us to focus this spiritual clarity outwards.
Thank you for reading! Till the next. 🌸🧠
