We do not have to beat them, just fight them - Braveheart /
2023 /
Drawing and painting are the jewels of my existence. I'm exalted when I feel very close physically to the pigments of yellow ochre, cadmium yellow, and mars red. They are my drugs.
Whenever I draw and paint these are the stars of my existence in a field of endless darkness. I feel physical pain being separated from the feeling of applying paint or scratching the surface of smooth paper with a dip pen, and I crave to experience it again.
I spent a month with my nose right up to the surface of a painting looking through the lenses of my glasses and magnifying glass. I stare at that surface like it's the surface of another planet that I'm just creating. I can't wait to experience that ecstasy again.
I'm thirsty for space like a black hole /
To Jupiter /
Found out I am a flâneur /
Or boulevardier. Or streeter, or avenuer. I am definitely a streeter but not a pedestrian.
