we need to keep the artistic process feeling romantic. a lot of time making art feels like a slog, but there is something so beautiful and enticing about it that just keeps bringing you back

This was one of my favorite concepts I got out of Big Magic by Elizabeth Gibert. It’s also a great barometer for when I’m doing something for the wrong reasons. If it doesn’t feel like an affair I’m probably doing it for ego or to people-please or to check a box or play a role.

I sometimes tell this to the architecture students I work with. I believe that most great artists are sorta insane in that they allow themselves to become fully obsessed with an idea and have it take over their brain. Like Kusama putting dots on everything. Basically, submit yourself fully to an idea and iterate on it endlessly. Learn from it. Let it take you somewhere beautiful

There is truly nothing so captivating like delving into the mystery around stolen works of art—who took it, where did it go, was it ever recovered, whose art, what motivations??? Don’t even get me started on the Isabella Stewart Gardener of it all.

i make things as a hobby, whether it be bits of music, awful drawings, writing, whatever, and i find that i work best after admiring others’ art. maybe it inspires me, maybe it’s just how things work in my head, but i feel that art, or any sort of creation, comes from creation, and so, it‘s ALRIGHT to use something else as a reference point, or rather, consume something before you create!! i like just sitting with something for a while, eventually something pops into my mind and gets my thoughts going. sitting with an instrument and messing around makes it easier to make something up, or scribbling makes it easier to think of what to draw. also, doing what’s best for you, whether that be taking ages to come up with an idea, and even longer to see it through, or making lots in a small amount of time. YOU do whatever is best for YOU, and probably your sanity. just generally loll have a lovely day slayyyy 💕

All my friends are great and I love to hang out with them and feel loved & to be silly, and when they hang out and get along I'm like damn I’m really killing having a rich social circle and deeply fulfilling friendships. If you’re a reflection of your three closest friends (or whatever that saying is) I’m a god damn god. My friends are the best and I love them SO MUCH
