So, I was able to escape for a little while Saturday afternoon and I went to see this movie. (picture above). It is a documentary about the life of New York Times style page journalist- Bill Cunningham. If this sounds vaguely like your cup of tea, I highly recommend putting it on your netflix queue. More than his work- I was (am) fascinated by this man. Integrity and passion for his work says it all. (But actually there is so much more...)
Now as all things relate back to me, I found this movie to be particularly good timing. I have recently gotten a bit of renewed energy for some drawing ideas. But at the age of 41, I am also a little weary when these waves of enthusiasm come over me, because I have a way of inexplicably ruining my fun. Somehow the result becomes more important than the fun of looking and creating. That is where Bill Cunningham comes in. My guru. Seemingly, no ego gets in the way of his good time.
Go see the movie- or put it on your queue and we can talk.
In the meantime- I will work on my ideas and share. Wish me luck in not spoiling my fun.
Have a good Monday everyone.
