Distance

Reduce the distance between thinking and doing 
Eliminate the fantasy of doing. Do. 
No ruminations. 
Actions first, emotions later

I only have a few things to do in my life:

I only have a few things to do in my life:
pay off my loans
Do gods work - create art, write books, teach
Gods work together with Lisa
Honor our Mother by Publish a book of mom's art
Teach, write, create, travel 
Pray, meditate
—- 
I summon the courage to challenge myself to be my best
Summon the courage to be fearless about anything( always remember you are released) 
Summon the will, and channel will through daily practice and dedication. 
Make this your ultimate romantic pursuit. 
Romance with your true nature,toward God
(Bhakti!) 
—- 
Everything is given to you. Use it celebrate it! 
—-
Everything in the eyes of God
This life is given to you by God. This life will be taken back. So live in service and duty and humility, knowing nothing is yours, but live in the humility and dignity and make it worthy of your life, worthy of the gifts you have received. 
Let God be happy with the decision he made to put you on this earth. 
Make yourself worthy of the creators gifts. Be a role model, in the eyes of God. 
"Be God like"
Seek God's truths
Do Gods work
"Love Supreme" 
"You are released" to do "Gods work"
Share your gifts, that God has given you. 
Gift your gifts generously. 
Let people be loved by your gifts, let them see the power of God through your gifts. 
Let others "see" their gifts through your work. 
Gods work above all. 
Stay fit and prime, to go Gods work. 
Multiply Gods work. Scale God's work. 
10x Gods work!!! 
God bless you Loki

Notes on boundaries

We need to reclaim our own lives. 
We do this rediculous  job of chopping our lives and handing it over to people. 
—-
Subjugating your needs for the needs of other people. And you end up not meeting our needs

Rothko

ASPIRATION Mid-1930s Rothko's early paintings on paper include landscapes, portraits, nudes, and bathers. He exhibited these works throughout the mid-1930s-in fact, his career as an artist began with a solo exhibition of watercolors-and he gave many as gifts to family and friends. But the paintings did not sell well. To supplement his meager income, Rothko taught children's art classes at the Center Academy of the Brooklyn Jewish Center. He took the job seriously, encouraging students to prioritize self-expression over technical skill. He also practiced what he preached. In the 1930s Rothko painted quickly and intuitively, delighting in the fluidity and translucence of water-based paints. His early watercolors reveal an aspiring artist engaging with his role models while searching for his own voice. They also hint at the technique and expressive content of his mature works to come.

Rothko

"A PICTURE LIVES by companionship, expanding and quickening in the eyes of the sensitive observer. It dies by the same token. It is therefore a risky and unfeeling act to send it out into the world." Writing in 1947, Mark Rothko (1903-1970) addressed one of his greatest concerns: the vital relationship between a work of art and its beholder. So which works did he think were worth the risk? Although Rothko is best known for his towering abstract paintings on canvas, the artist also produced nearly 1,000 works on paper in watercolor, oil, and acrylic, many of which he considered suitable for exhibition or sale. Works on paper are often understood as preliminary to or lesser than those on canvas. But Rothko believed his paintings on paper were equally capable of holding a viewer's attention and addressing what he understood to be the universal truths of human experience. This exhibition assembles roughly 100 of the kinds of paintings on paper that Rothko chose to make public. The exhibition is organized around four periods in Rothko's career when painting on paper was his primary focus. Watercolors from the 1930s reveal his early artistic aspirations and influences. Symbolic paintings of the 1940s show Rothko searching for "timeless and tragic" subjects relevant to the turmoil of contemporary global events. In the late 1950s and late 1960s, Rothko created hundreds of paintings on paper in his signature abstract style. Just like their canvas counterparts, these works attempt to convey, in Rothko's words, "the basic human emotions-tragedy, ecstasy, doom, and so on." The exhibition starts here (Mezzanine) and continues one floor up (Upper Level). The exhibition is organized by the National Gallery of Art, Washington. The exhibition is made possible through the generous support of LUGANO DIAMONDS Additional major support is provided by the Annenberg Fund for the International Exchange of Art and the Director's Circle of the National Gallery of Art.

I'm here to terrorize the industry 

Lucky star

You are the lucky one. 
People are always watching you.
God is watching you when people aren't 

Conduct yourself in a kind, honorable and dignified manner worthy of being the child of God.

If the tape is rewound, you are the same dignified and godly person with nothing to hide and nothing new to reveal  🙏🏽

Dreams

It's important to be in touch with your dreams.
They create the shape of your life. 

Sometimes you carry the dreams of your mother and father. 
Sometimes you carry their trauma.
