The meaning of life?

“Creativity is an unexceptional, ubiquitous quality of all reality. This is something astonishing and worth celebrating. As humans, we are not the origins of creativity (it is not emerging out of our heads or originating in our ideas); rather, we can skillfully join and modify ongoing creative processes. Creativity is something we “surf”. Human creative processes are thus always more than human—and especially more than and very different from ideas. Our creative processes are enactive; they arise from and are creatively enabled by the relational dynamics of tools, environments, embodied practices, histories, and a dense weave of human collaboration.” https://emergentfutureslab.com/newsletter

Creativity isn’t a skill. It’s a natural process. 

Too much cognitive load and overhead in learning concepts.app, currently. Plus I own Procreate and am subscribing to concepts.  Also, Procreate probably plays nicer with Dreams as it’s the same company and tech.  I am very tempted to reset procreate to defaults and maybe buy that nueland brush set I keep seeing everywhere.  My reminder to self: Use what you already have:  1. Defaults first. 2. Then tinker.  3. Maybe buy new stuff. 

Expired: blame spaces Tired: safe spaces  Wired: brave spaces

Reminder to myself: Whatever pen and paper is closest to me, and notes.app are all I need.

We need to bring back the Hiphopopotamus & Rhymenoceros. 

I’m tired of being tired. 

In the never-ending bouncing back and forth between iPad drawing apps, I think I'm leaning towards investing more time into Concepts.app. Its vector based (meaning images scale up easier) and has an infinite canvas (you're not restricted to a certain size until you export). Plus, while I don't believe it's open source, it is by a small indie team, called TopHatch. Btw, I wonder if that company name is a reference to LOST.

Well, I’m pretty excited for The Acolyte premiere tonight. At minimum I hope it’s some fun escapism in a fictional universe I adore (warts and all). At best I hope it uses powerful storytelling, empathy, and metaphor to connect us all in the real world we live in now.
