only days to go for the christmas insanity with family...finishing Christmas errands and getting ready for the in-laws headed our way....and I've been working on a project that is slow going, which looks so very simple....back to basics....this thing is amazingly....ummmm....how should I put this. this is SO not my style....but for some reason, i feel the need to do it. I am not a person who usually likes to spend time on something that needs some detail and while this doesn't really look like it requires any amount of detail...believe me...it does....detail that lacks detail....whoa....
i have gessoed over this thing a few times....and re-worked lines....gesso....black paint...then gesso...then black....and back and forth....
sometimes you gotta go back to basics....and put your root down....and just root down...
like the Beastie Boys. :) totally satiates a musical craving.
I kick it root down, I put my root down....So how we gonna kick it?
Gonna kick it root down. (Beastie Boys).
the sketch that started it all...
sometimes the universe literally....*hands* me gifts and says...there you go....use this...and sometimes the universe slowly fills my cart with some random ingredients....and it's up to me to piece stuff together and figure out the recipe....oh! hey...yeah..ok...I get it.....paella...sorry....Universe....that was totally obvious and I should have figured that out right away.
and sometimes...I get thrown into kitchen arena....with a mystery ingredient...like squid or something and I have to figure out...what the hell do I do with this?
I know...weird. right? who the hell knows what to do with squid? I am NOT gonna be that person to make squid icecream.....everyone makes some weird ice-cream when they don't know what to do. right? like, shiitake squid gelato....so predictable...and don't you dare try to pull off some calamari boring-ness....don't you dare do it. you're better than that.
anyway....that's what the universe does....sometimes it's easy....sometimes it's harder.....and sometimes.....it gets really tricky.....but you just gotta reach down........and root down. Take it back to the basics and make that shit rock.
that's right....
sometimes when you gotta rock...you have to roll..... :)
and you have to have Faith in your skills....do you think NBA ballers doubt themselves when the ball leaves their fingers .....and swish...nothing but net....
nothing
but
net.
they rock that...and so should you.
I know...this post is totally random....but the point is.... when all else fails....just...kick it root down.
and that is all...just feel your awesomeness and celebrate it...and if you can't do that....nobody else can either.
Peace...love....and kicking it root down...oh, and may you never get stuck with squid.
and Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays...and welcome the sun back.....
