Hello and welcome to another glimpse inside my head:
As often happens, there are layers of my current journey that are fantastic and magical while others are reminiscent of the bog of eternal stench. Im learning to enjoy the up swings and pockets of distress while destenching the other bits. Part of what I really dig about southern Brooklyn is the proximity Coney Island where a stroll along the boardwalk as the sunset dissolves angst barriers transforming stress, allowing for solutions.
As the weather cools down and the days are shorter playing with new recipes is an indoor activity that makes my life feel more homey. , Thanks to youtube I learned how to make noodles, for the first time I made my own pasta! Fresh tastes soooo much better! It didn't seem like flour, egg and olive oil would taste any better if mixed on my counter,,,, well it did, bunches! For days I made several meals from this new discovery and started experimenting including a desert pasta. This one is cinnamon noodles with an apple, carrot, ginger cream sauce..... it was yummy! If you want the recipe I made up lemme know in the comments and I will share.
The table underneath is a find that I painted ; one of my favorite ways to acquire furniture is repurposing a piece someone else discarded. A great thing about a free canvas is the pressure to make the most out of the expensive materials and create masterpiece is gone, much like drawing on note book paper, fun, stream of consciousness doodles emerge. The ones that fall out are usually more appealing to me that the ones I am determined with be cool, like this one, friends that are part of Fort Vine. They are based in Harlem which is a haul from southern Bk without the train schedule having a schedule, which thankfully it did not in either direction though the N line was utilizing the D train. This will likely only be relatable if you have spent allot of time on nyc subways.... the cars for each train line differ including seat configuration, ad types, the stop board, if there is one, that sort of thing. It feels foreign and can be out of sorting when you step into a car from another line.
So I did all that and got to Tsion Cafe late because for some reason I have to do allot of stuff as I prep to leave as though time will pause while I do random bits of 'this can actually wait'. I got there psyched to draw them, arriving for a few songs of their last set. I got a quick
doodle of Trevor before they ended, adding Nyna at home. Unlike my mindless doodles there is something less free about it to me.
Any time I am attached to it being really cool it feels less so than when I let go and let it fall out. Does creativity feel the same for you>>? Its not the worst Ive ever doodled but his face is so serious, a state Ive never seen it in for real....
So it again comes down to learning and going with my wiring to achieve the best results.
And now I am going with my dogs plumbing at doing a 2_30ish am pee walk before we bed.
Happy creatng, dreaming and being to y'all!
