I've been meaning to listen to Hot Mulligan and Grayscale for a while now, so this just gave me the perfect excuse to do both. Awesome songs all round. I also want to mention that since you gave me a few songs by The Maine to listen to a few weeks back, they've quietly snuck their way into my regular rotation.
This is easily one of my favourite weeks for your artwork. Every week is good, but goddamn, something about these ones is really going to stick with me. I particularly enjoy the first and the third pieces. The colours work so well together.
And I'm really glad you enjoyed Life in Slow Motion!!
I enjoyed this. Your comments and quotes about Didion, the process of your art, and especially this last bit:
"[L]ight is an invitation to happiness," Mary Oliver says, "and that happiness, when it's done right, is a kind of holiness, palpable and redemptive." It is a redemption that stays. That lingers. That lasts. Even when the light passes. A holiness sacred even in the dark. In the grime. In the shadows. A vigil. A hymnal. A happiness strong enough to cradle all our sadness. "I know, it's alive and somewhere for us to find…chase this light with me."
I've been chasing that light, and it does illuminate the darkness and makes all that seems so temporary just a play of light and shadow across the walls of our life to make of it what we will.
Creativity: + plus + plus - both words & visual !
