Dressing up as Batman can give you courage. In the future I will make a longer post dedicated to the character of Batman. People always say that Batman doesn’t have superpowers but for me HE IS the SUPERPOWER.
All this to say don’t be afraid to approach that lady as long as you keep your lines respectfully fun. This happens a lot because all ladies I am attracted to, is taken.
Hey just because she has a boyfriend, it doesn’t mean she is happy right? RIGHT? Oh my god I’m an awful person.
We are not talking about e-mail attachments, as I get older I begin to understand that we need a healthy balanced distance between the things in our lives. Whether it’s SPORTS, WORK, or playing VIDEO GAMES you have to have a healthy distance from these bubbles.
Don’t get too obsessed with WORK because we don’t live to work, we work to live; Don’t get too obsessed with SPORTS at the end of the day it’s a game with people sometimes not from the same country wearing the same uniform to play; Don’t get too attached to hobbies like GAMING well because you need to have also a social life.
Now you might say it’s easily said that done…
This is where ART comes in. I have realized that the test to see whether you are too attached to something can be revealed when you are having conversations about that (those) particular bubble(s). Because conversations keep things in check, not only individually but for societies. And what is better than to laugh at yourself when a stand up comedian makes fun of a gamer in a clever way. You may feel uncomfortable at first but STAND UP comedy done right is ART and your laughter can be liberating and put things in perspective which is why I firmly believe in the idea of artists to say what they want.
Bonne journée.
I am not the first person this happens to, nor is it the first time that it happens to me. I go meetups in Bangkok where I meet new people. We have interesting conversations, then whether it’s a man or a woman they give you their contact. Then you ask them whether they want to go for a beer, or hangout and talk about stuff. And then SILENCE. I tried to find out why in the beginning but now I gave up I just move on because now I have a lot other things to do. Like my daily cartoons, my monthly webcomic series and my Youtube videos on my channel. What do you guys think, do these people realize they made a mistake? Or were they drunk at the event when they gave their contact details? I wouldn’t mind if it was an e-mail because sometimes people forget to check their e-mail but now everybody has their smartphone on them and the notification must appear on their phone.
I also have a Youtube channel called MOVIE MESSENGER where I talk about movies and make podcasts about a wide array of things. We shot a shortfilm, well there is no story it’s just me and my friend Vidhvat talking about how we are tired of people complaining about everybody staring at their smartphones.
We tried to argue that in order to move forward we need to think about to incorporate this change in healthy way instead of dismissing changes completely. I mean WE WANTED THIS, and technology is a tool it becomes what we make of it.
I’ve always gravitated as I got older to independent filmmakers like Quentin Tarantino, Robert Rodriguez and Kevin Smith. I just dated myself by mentioning those guys. But for me those guys are still great especially Kevin Smith and Robert Rodriguez who have always been motivators to ask people to create and express themselves.
I don’t think she was the only one who said it but I heard a Carrie fisher quote from a friend:
“Stay afraid, but do it anyway. What’s important is the action. You don’t have to wait to be confident. Just do it and eventually the confidence will follow.”
– Carrie fisher
As an artist who thinks he has interesting ideas to share, I hope this little drawing will help anyone who needs a little smile on their face to continue on your risky journey you have undertaken.
Robert Rodriguez talked about a book called ART AND FEAR by David Bayles which is on my to read list but when he talked about that book he said something that helped me a lot, I want to transfer it here hoping it would help you. If you are scared it means you are doing the right thing, especially if you are an artist.
And to add to that I don’t believe in luck, I believe in preparation and acting like a professional even before you become one. Which is why I gave myself this challenge to come up with a new drawing, new cartoon I would put online everyday as long as I can. If you are a writer, WRITE, if you are a musician, MAKE MUSIC and if you are a cartoonist, DRAW.
Bonne journée.
