another year | journal with me #24

I went for a little walk through Central Park this week with the intention of finding inspiration and filming another artist date video. It was an extremely lovely day this past Tuesday, so after stopping off at Muji for a little treat, my brother walked with me through Central Park. I can’t remember if I ever walked the length of the park before, but that day I did.

It was a nice walk considering the amount of people in the park. I honestly can’t remember there being so many people in this city of mine. And to be frank, I don’t believe there ever was this many people in this city all at one time. It’s like in the last few years, the number of city residents has spiked so substantially that as a native New Yorker, you can actually notice a difference. And as an extreme introvert, it sucks. Gone are the days where you could walk into Central Park and find an empty, quiet spot all to yourself. It’s virtually impossible now. The park is no longer a refuge from the big, nosy city.

But I did find some blossoms! Big, beautiful blossom trees I don’t ever remember seeing before. Then again, I can’t recall the last time I walked into the park in spring.

I even tucked a few blossoms away into my journals I was carrying with me. Picked them all up right off from the ground because I feel so terrible plucking them from the trees. (Though I’m sure someone else did then tossed them…but you know.)

I did manage to do a bit of filming in the park and a bit of journaling. But I ended up finishing the pages I began in the park at home. I honestly rather enjoyed sitting in the park and journaling, so I may do it again and possibly film it properly. There’s something about being amongst nature that’s calming and refreshing…even in a loud noisy city. Though I quite envy those who can take a walk through a park or forest and here nothing but nature noise. (I got a lot of city ambient noise in my videos. It completely drowned out the nature sounds. A rather unfortunate side-effect of big city life.)

I ended up working in both my Silva Rerum and my Unraveling journal. I’m sharing photos of only my Unraveling journal here though because it’s more of a completed spread. Just pressed some flowers into my Silva Rerum to document the day. But you can see both processes in the video below.

I turned another year older last week and of course that had me thinking about time. It’s very interesting how much you’re aware of time passing as you get older. I’m very fortunate that I don’t look anything remotely my age (nor do I feel it), so it seems quite laughable me becoming another year older. No one would believe me anyway.

I thought a bit about time and getting older and how all of it is really just relative. You are as old as you feel. And I suppose that’s the case until your reflection betrays you. But even so, this idea of becoming older is just a societal construct designed to label and compartmentalize. Just because you’re older doesn’t mean you’re not young anymore. Remember that.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this little Artist Date/Journal with Me video.

The nicest things can happen when you let go.

Growth is a series of push and pull, of holding on and letting go.

Full flip-through of this art journal is up on my Youtube channel. Link in bio. xx
Still working in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Still working in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. I had so much fun with this color scheme and style that I went ahead and made two matching #littleartnotes! This color combo is super rare for me (Titan Buff and Titan Mars Pale with Payne's Gray marks), but I'm really digging it! 

Happy Friday Loves! xx
When I originally set up these pages in my @getmes When I originally set up these pages in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal, I left a lot of space to write about what blooming means to me. It means growth, blossoming, and becoming. It means to flourish. It also represents nature and the restorative power of being in the wild. 

Bloom means a lot to me and yet while finishing up some of these half-finished pages, I was at a loss for words. This is when I found that word phrase stickers really help get the message across. xx
Just another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Seas Just another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. A lot of these pages were already in progress, so it's interesting to see them finished. I'm sure I had other intentions for what they were going to look like a couple of years ago when I first created this journal. Now, I'm content with matching colors, adding paint, and a few scribbles. This journal is all about the process of creating for me now, which I think is still a source of growth. xx
Another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. I rather like how this one turned out! I'm quite obsessed with using this Payne's Gray NeoColor crayon to make some scattered marks on my page. You might see a lot more of this in future spreads from this book. xx
