Back to the basics

4/25/2020

 

A half-full glass

These are days to stay home. For some resigned teleworkers it is an endless chaotic period in which balancing work and personal life makes it sort of a hell. 
For others, this is an opportunity to do things differently, to learn something new, or just to wake up a little bit later and forget about traffic jams and ringing phones and to work in pyjamas. 

A pen is a mighty tool

I was sitting in the kitchen with my daughter doing some hand-painting. A red right hand here, a green left half-hand there, spare lines and paint stains everywhere. 

Following we started on the colour pencils... and the magic did the rest. Hands, lines and stains became crocodiles, puppies, swan eggs, uncle Michael, mum and dad, whales and cars.
​
For me it was a clear invitation to get back to pen an paper - under her permission, of course. I was determined to just do the same. Enjoying. So, I did some wild sketching of stuff and ideas. No matter what.

​All of a sudden, a solution to a project I had been wandering about for days came like a spark. This experience was a turning point.
Isn't it amazing how fast and free a child's mind can move?
How simple they find connections in a disperse Venn diagram?
​How constrained we are by logic?

​Keep it simple and enjoy it!
