maybe I'll be a muralist?
Sometimes our minds tend to drift into unknown spaces of reflection, deep thinking, overthinking, and overanalyzing - sort of the standard tortuous curse of a creative thinker. I personally love creative daydreaming to take a break when I can step away from technology and deadlines then doodle aimlessly, create chalk art on my driveway, or paint on canvas, walls, rocks - anything really. I find this time out necessary and fulfilling to balance out the creative brain, it’s cathartic and peaceful for me.
A recent story about Youngstown's newest mural reminded me of my COVID project. During lockdown, my daughter and I started a jungle theme mural on a blank wall space in our basement - her idea. We loved it but, sadly never finished it. I often wistfully think about how much I would love to do abstract playful murals as a side gig with my daughter...
A recent period of reflection led me to the men of Very Gay Paint. These hilarious comedians recently became muralists by happenstance - painting on a wall in their basement. Perhaps there is hope for me yet, just don’t tell my boss! Check out their rent PRINT mag story here.
