I’d look up different art residencies. Somewhere where there’s a nice pile of artists gathering together, taking turns making meals. Little hopeful moments.

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

Always good to be able to pick the brain of creatives, what drives them, what inspires, etc.

I know burnout is real and sleep is important, but showing up for your friends and nurturing the relationships by taking them up on their kindness is real too. Go on that long drive to make it to your friend’s goodbye party, you could make new relationships there. Make a real plan to visit them in their new home. Or see your friend at work when they said they’ll give you free appetizers and tell them all the hot gossip. See their show. The culture in the US at least, makes it really hard to maintain friendships as you get older so when someone provides you a clear way of strengthening that bond, reconsider it. Caveat of course is level of friendship and if that kind of attention is wanted and also sometime you do really need to shut down for a bit … but make it up to them after, bake something or visit them later, etc.

I mean, yeah, there are a lot of recipes on YouTube and some are easy but whoa you can just open up a bag of powder or paste with some dried goodies and add water. Splurge on some noodles, dumplings, veggies and thinly cut meats or tofu. I have the two soup soup pot and it was a hit.
