How many times have you subconsciously judged someone, because of the ugly shoes they were wearing? Or maybe their funny accent? Or weird name? When someone you don’t know answers the phone, how many times have you automatically assumed the person was white, based on the way he or she spoke? Better yet, how many times have you done some unproductive shit-talking or gossiping, behind your so-called friend’s back? Yes, it is human nature to make judgments and assumptions and to criticize — in fact, sometimes it is necessary. But what about those negative judgments that add no productive value to a debate? It’s MLK Day, and we musn’t ever forget how different our society is since Dr. King’s time. And how much we have to keep striving for that dream. It doesn’t take much — just start with your own small world, and slow down to reflect before you simply react mindlessly…

I love my new bag (and the color yellow, as you can see). Envelop did a fantastic job — great artwork resolution, nice quality cotton canvas in just the right weight, and it’s the perfect size. (And yes, you can still get one for yourself over here!) Back tomorrow (Monday) with a new drawing. Cheers cheers!

She made a commitment…to her fear of commitment. Also available as a print: http://society6.com/sirinthada/Committed-to-the-Fear_Print (On a side note, many thanks to iamthecrime for helping me find cool new tunes… Without good music in the background keeping me happy and energized, tonight’s drawing and many others would not have been possible!)

Make lots of art. Listen to music. Sanitize against negative energy. Breathe deep and relax! (Yes, art is my therapy.) Back Thursday night, 9:00 p.m.
