note to self

"to know what you're going to draw, you have to begin drawing."

– picasso

This quote resounded in my mind as I took a bath to 

think about what exactly my line of work should be.

Found some time ago on brainpickings.

and though she be but little, she is fierce! _ just like me

found on whilethecloudsspread.

(quote above from will shakespeare.)

words _ on fear

fear is such an insidious little thing.

it keeps you in bondage when

all you want is fly.

but once you realize that there's

essentially nothing you can loose,

you can become fearless

and free.

kind of what i'm working on now.

(as always have been.)

words

in this heat it's not that hard

to have our blood boiling.

but of course that's not the point here.

:)

words _ my brain

when i found this image on pinterest

(lettering by a pair of pears), i had this unstoppable

urge to make a screenshot of my laptop with loads

of tabs open in my browser.

so i did make a screenshot. there you go:

and i guess what you see on my screen

is very much representative of my mind too.

i think i got way too many things on my mind

and by now i simply can't stop.

btw, you can follow me on pinterest, too!

and just see my rambling mind there.

things _ four

3 _ michelle bréa, everything ends, 2010

4 _ via brigittew

words _ observe

yes.

and btw, making art is a way to do that.

actually, i think especially if

you do life drawing.

words on design _ on being revolutionary

words from american architect denise scott brown (b. 1931, Rhodesia).

here you can read a recent interview with her.

find more quotes on design (well, architecture) on ilikearchitecture.

basically, the idea is that with everyone trying to be revolutionary,

you will be most revolutionary if you try to be ordinary.

words _ progress

some wise words

from laura bohill's dribble.

just another note to self _ on mediocrity

i'm always afraid of mediocrity,

which many a time leads to my

not making anything.

but yes, we all need to understand

that mediocrity is almost always

an unavoidable stage

that we need to get through.

what's your point of view?

note to self _ great things

yepp. this is a note to self.

cuz i tend to forget...

via melsaid. (lovely blog!)

Great things never came from comfort comfort zones.

and i quote _ from paul rand

a really good quote from paul rand.

it's not that one should copy other people's stuff,

but much rather that one should

simply do their stuff without the concerns

of creating something truly original, something

groundbreaking, something that hasn't been

seen before.

on the other hand, when you do

your work, possibly every day,

then, i think that after a good while

you are bound to create original,

maybe even groundbreaking stuff

that hasn't been seen before...

what's your point on this?
