Some of the things Blake says really hit home, especially when he talks about navigating uncertainty, translating images to your own language, and art being about making an argument for what you think is interesting.

Inspired, I tried his technique of sketching directly in acrylics, something I’ve never tried before. I think it turned out well.

Everybody’s lover, everybody’s brother, I wanna be your lifetime friend.
Crazy as a rocket, nothin in my pocket, I keep it at the rainbow’s end.
I never think of money, I think of milk ‘n honey, grinnin like a cheshire cat.
I focus on the pleasure, somethin’ I can treasure, can you picture that?
Can you picture that?
