Quote

Keeping a "writer's notebook" in public imposes an unbeatable rigor, since you can't slack off and leave notes so brief and cryptic that they neither lodge in your subconscious nor form a record clear enough to refer to in future. By contrast, keeping public notes produces both a subconscious, supersaturated solution of fragmentary ideas that rattle around, periodically cohering into nucleii that crystallize into full-blown ideas

I'm glad that despite bad algorithms, many of you still show your works on social media. Don't let yourself break cause the world needs you, I need you. You are important 🖤

Trying to stay consistent with my sketchbook practice. While I was living in Chattanooga last summer I made my sketchbook a big priority in my process. I sort of re-learned the importance of ideating on paper. I sometimes forget that my sketchbook is not a place for perfection but a place for iterations and problem solving. Taking the things I’ve been exposed to and drawing influence from them quickly on paper has been my routine lately. It’s not pretty, but my ideas are flowing quicker these days.

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!

Refrigerator Art

I read a lot about creativity. I see myself as a creative person, but not in a field that is traditionally seen as “creative”. But what is creativity? Creating. You create something for some reason and put it out there.

Then what is software? That’s creating code to teach a crystal with lightning how to show the internet. I digress. This isn’t a post about why software is a creative trade.

Back to reading. I’ve found a pattern of books that spark my creative interest: they focus more about sharing your work or making space in your head to make the work than anything else.

Both Show Your Work by Austin Kleon and Building a Second Brain by Tiago Forte talk about this concept of bite sized work. They call this work “stock” or “intermediate packets”, respectively. And respectively? I hate those terms.

So I’m going to make refrigerator art. Refrigerator art is bite sized, something you see when your main point isn’t to Observe Art™, and there is no pressure on quality. If a 6 year old can make art deemed worthy of the refrigerator in a day, then so can I.

I’m not sure what medium this will take—infographics, mini blog posts, water color, lil doodles, whatever. But it doesn’t matter. The sheer fact that this refrigerator art is coming from my brain means it is a cohesive body of work. I’m what ties it together!

But maybe you can expect a more deep dive into these books I’ve found creatively intriguing. But also this isn’t an assignment to me. I CAN DO WHAT I WANT.

It’s Refrigerator Art ✨

daily dispatch #1: anyone there?

I've read Show Your Work by Austin Kleon at least five times now. It usually catches my attention on my bookshelf when I've been creating a lot and don't know who to share it to other than my handful of friends.

One section of the book is literally titled "Send out a Daily Dispatch" talks about putting out a little something about your process every day (the sections before talk about documenting your process, so if you're doing that, you can do this part).

My problem, as (primarily) a writer, was figuring out how exactly to share my process.

This is probably my third or fourth attempt at starting a personal blog at this point. And I've had a few years between the last time I tried this. Which means I think I have a better understanding of what I want to put out, how I want to do it, and why I have this urge to do it.

So, hello to the void of the Internet.

PS: There are nearly 10000 reblogs on my account before this post. I think it shows a lot of the things that I've liked over the years. I didn't have the heart (or interest) in starting another blog elsewhere.

I thought to start this book after watching a YouTube video by Ali Abdaal. The focus of this book is on the significance of regularly sharing your creative work with the entire world, as opposed to solely presenting the final product. Having an online presence and being able to stand out from the crowd has become a crucial aspect of work in today's society.

Kleon discusses highly practical methods for efficiently distributing creative content in order to grow an audience. The author presets ten key principles for sharing creative work, such as "share something small every day" and "tell good stories". He also provides examples and many anecdotes to illustrate how all those can be applied in different contexts.

One of the key strengths of this book is the author's insistence on the impotence of building partnerships and engaging with fellow knuckleballers (your real peer). Kleon encourages readers to view sharing their work as a way of contributing to a community rather than simply promotion.

The author's writing style is highly captivating and relatively effortless to follow, and his meticulous attention to detail is impeccable. He used a lot of illustrations to make the concepts easy to understand and implement.

Overall, "Show Your Work" is a valuable resource for someone looking to build an online presence for their creative space. The principles presented in the book are actionable and easy to apply. The book is highly recommended for a beginner who wants to just start or anyone looking to take their creative work to the next level. I'm giving a five star for this book.

Annabeth: I, a child, had to earn Thalia’s love, that’s how the world works! I have to earn my moms love. Love is transactional, you gotta be worthy of it first silly :)

Percy, listening to this on the train

#STOP TRAUMATIZING THIS CHILD PLEASE #this is what it’s like when you were raised in a loving home and you find out your friend wasn’t #but they don’t know they weren’t #so you’re like um hey that’s fucked up and sometimes a crime?#you tell them parents are supposed to love you as is without earning it and they don’t believe you #you can hear the therapy bill racking up #annabeth chase #Percy jackson #percy jackson and the olympians #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo #pjo series #pjo tv show #mine #adding on to my tags because some people are debating if that’s how love works #love is meant to be a mutual exchange and something that grows over time between two people as their bond grows #whereas how Annabeth says it #in my opinion at least #she had to do XY and Z to be worthy of thalias love before receiving it #like with her mother #she has to be amazing before Athena is proud of her #vs Athena being proud of her just for being her daughter #that being said I’m not hating on a traumatized child having potentially negative and toxic patterns #more pointing out the comedy of the scene from Percy’s perspective who has a good grasp on healthy vs unhealthy relationships

Kind of a timelapse(?) of making the 'Stranger In My Dream' cover.

Yup, it took me 9 hours and 21 minutes and yup, i'm still using a 3D poser 🥲

I use PenUp for sketching, and Ibis Paint X for the rest.

Austin Kleon's 10 Tips to Show Your Work

In the last few weeks, I have picked Austin Kleon’s other equally fabulous book, Show Your Work: 10 Ways to Share Your Creativity and Get Discovered. One of the biggest challenges for artists in the day and age of social media is getting noticed. While finding avenues to discover for yourself may sound easier, advertising your work is challenging. Perhaps people find it harder to be noticed…
