going to the museums in my city, going to events, visiting art schools as a spectator to view their expositions
it gives me this.. je ne sais quoi feeling. like, euphoria and inspiration and hope in a weird combined way. thinking about art, talking about art - and by that i mean anything from jewelry to graphic design, paintings, poetry, (short) film and sculptures. just fills me with purpose unlike anything else.
im watching my sims be succesful artists and im like.. damn i wanna be that.

i use it as an excuse and it makes me happy... and i get to see some of my favourite pieces in real life! my most recent adventure was for the yoshitomo nara exhibit in bilbao which was excellent. and i got to see a beautiful city i’d never been to before. and i bumped into tilda swinton in the museum. so it’s like a win all around

The commission I’ve been grinding this month has mostly been done in coffee shops (I will share when I can pi.fyi, I’m very excited about it) but then I remembered I have shitty coffee at home that works fine and that I have a great art museum close by. When it’s nice out I’ve got giant iron sculptures surrounding me. If it’s not I’m making art next to the brain children of Albers and Richters and Dutch masters I can’t be bothered to memorize the names of. As inspiring as bad first dates and banal gossip is to me (not sarcasm, it fuels me) the great art and serene atmosphere is even more inspiring. Highly recommend

i feel like a massive hypocrite writing this, but im gonna be honest..
the past year i've been constantly listening to/watching youtube videos and ig reels in order to fill the silence. just loads and loads of useless information and empty talks.
last night i realized that doing so has been keeping me from thinking about stuff, listening to music and in general, being productive. i was filling my head with useless noise so i wouldn't think. it ended up being a comfortable bubble of bullshit that was hard to break out of.
today i stopped the video, grabbed my notes of things i want to DO and played some music in the background. felt much better. i might relapse— i have many times, but im tired of being a vertically scrolling thumb (again).

i used to ride my bicycle/take public transport all the time, but walking is really good actually! it slows down the wildness of modern life, shows you small things you would otherwise drive past. its all around a good idea if you have time to spare of course. great for calming down, thinking, good for relieving stress, good for meeting new people

in a world of automatic AI translation and a lack of humanity in digital spaces, i find it refreshing to see evidence that text was indeed typed by a human - someone who makes mistakes and that's okay.
i was just browsing a localized version of a website and noticed a word misspelled and for once i didn't feel annoyed, but happy
