CATCHING THE BIG FISH. Meditation, Consciousness, and Creativity

One of the most inspiring books that I have read this year is: Catching the Big Fish by David Lynch. 

 

 

 

These illustrations were inspired by the book and the main idea behind it.

The main idea is that there is the small fish (everything in the surface of life)

 and then there is the big fish (those things that are somewhere deep in you

 and are not easy to see).

In order to find the big fish, we need to learn how to "fish" (meditate, think

 deeper, look at the world and at ourselves with a fresh vision, understand our

 connection with the universe...)

I couldn't agree more with David Lynch. This tiny book has brought so much

 light into my mind! Thank you Mr. Lynch for this treasure.

I don't want to talk too much about the book because I highly recommend 

you to read it. I am sure that you will appreciate it. It's one of those books

that will stay with you forever.

Have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend my friend!!

Jake

 

Natalie has been taking some commissioned work lately.

Portraits of her classmates mainly.

She doesn't charge for the job because all she cares about is her friend's approval.

Jake's portrait is her latest creation and the piece will be delivered today. We're looking forward to Jake's feedback.

Jake could break Natalie's heart or the opposite. But whatever the feedback is she just wants her customers to know that she tried her best. And to make her thoughts visible nothing better than writing them clearly on the paper itself.

The Story of Coco

Today, there is something special posted here.

I hope that you enjoy it!

Happy Friday and happy weekend too!

Natalie's Drawings

 

The other day I found these little drawings that Natalie created and I decided to put them in my diary. I'm always collecting Natalie's drawings. They make me so happy! Remember Picasso's blue period? Famous artists are supposed to go through different creative periods and Natalie is now going through her big-eyed-girl period :)

 Wishing you a beautiful wednesday!

(Yay! Something new HERE)

 

You and Yourself :)

 

One of the things that I enjoy the most is writing and drawing on a blank book. The kind of writing and drawing that I keep for myself. It's a personal experience because what I write and draw is not something that anybody else could make sense of, only I know what it means and it has to do with my emotional world. 

I started doing this when I was about 8 years old and I cannot imagine my life without it. It's silly but very important to me.

:)

Do you have any kind of special personal ritual that you enjoy?

Anything that helps you keep the connection with yourself?
