This answer during a Q&A with Austin Kleon really hit me. The rest of the talk, and Q&A is pretty good also.

RAW
Maybe if we all said ‘maybe’ more often, the world might be a nicer place.

Thought for the Day
Me in Studio today
Good Morning
Playing with iSight and PhotoBooth on my new Macbook. It’s grainy because it’s dark in here.
The future, haha, the future.
The future is a virus.
One Year
Got a nice card and a beautiful poem and note from my Stepmother yesterday. We’re all thinking about pop today.
Bill Cosby’s “Noah”
Just because there must be something funny about all this rain.
Beach Day
Went to the beach today. Here’s a quick watercolor I did in the watercolor moleskine.
Finding your passion
The word passion comes from the Latin “patior,” meaning to suffer or to endure. These days, losing its uncomfortable roots, passion is a feeling of unusual excitement, enthusiasm or compelling emotion toward a subject, idea, person or object. Here’s how to get it:
Revisit and repossess your core dreams and fantasies.
Consider your dreams to be private, unique and sacred.
Get help from and watch the actions of the already passionate.
Indulge, honour and live in your own imagination.
Don’t talk about it, do it.
See your passion manifested into action or production.
