Another Rambleamble, here we go!
Mentioned in this dispatch:
-
My earlier post on Doodling Depression with Cara Bean. (The comment I reference around 18:41 doesn’t seem to exist??? So now I’m baffled about where that came from, but oh well. You’re all insightful and lovely.)
-
Cara’s impromptu drawing showvideos with her dad, Howie. (She also has a slew of other doodle-along videos on her channel if you want to try some soothing drawing exercises.)
-
The quote I was grasping for is Picasso, and it’s “Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working.” (Weirdly this still doesn’t ring the right bells, so maybe it’s actually some other quote I’m thinking of—can you tell I’m a little scattered these days?)
-
Some guidelines from SARK about Micromovements, from The Bodacious Book of Succulence:
-
The collages I’ve been making with my dad:
-
And I’m dead serious I will mail you Sharpies. Or highlighters. Anything. Please help.
Mostly visual notes on this Ramble, I guess! Still on the hunt for a microphone solution that doesn’t add all these fiddly little clips and clicks and wind noises despite my best efforts to keep it held free of zippers and hair strands and passing branches. I wanna WALK! But I also want audio that’s good on the ears. Will continue to experiment. Transcript is attached to this post if you’re a reader rather than a listener.
Thank you all for sustaining this practice, and a warm welcome to the few of you who have joined up this month! It lifts my spirits like nobody’s business to have you here.
Okay, off to make dinner <3
