Would love to go back to NYC and walk through Central Park at 1AM again soon 😴

I posted this photo in the last group of NYC photos from this week but I did some editing in Lightroom and felt inclined to post this version

Here’s the full comic called “生き甲斐” (ikigai) I made for my senior project in high school art class. You can view it in 300 DPI high res. by clicking the link in my bio! IG shits on all of the effort I put into details by butchering the image quality lol. Side note: Idk why but my art teacher Ms. Money was rly cool and just let me draw whatever I want 🤷‍♂️ P sure she said “Just make a comic about what art means to you”. I still feel this way btw except now I have more health problems : ) Thank you for reading 😣💙 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv_OQC1g-cG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vo1cbam6xi9z

For anyone who hasn’t read it yet, I released a pencilled 25 page chapter of my graphic novel I’ve been drafting for a couple years now. (Reads left to right like American comics). Chapters 1 (25 pages) and chapter 2 (19 pages) is uploaded to my Pixiv (link in my bio). It’s moving slowly as I’m working on multiple creative endeavors and battling my health issues, but it’s still very legible and imo as pretty as finalized art in this rough pencilled format. I’m really thankful to all of you who read my my work and are supporting me through my body trying to make me give up 😌 https://www.instagram.com/p/BwHtBF_AFQg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1buseo5swrm2m

I’m gonna sketch my graphic novel out entirely like this before sinking anything. In the mean time, I have two one-shot manga I’ll be working on slowly. One is for a contest and the other is just for fun. I’ll be self publishing a one-shot compilation via @_jammo_ after they’re completed 😌 Probably end of this year or early next year https://www.instagram.com/p/BwIe7FrAv8P/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ryegzjong65j

Thought Forget-Me-Not #1:

I recently listened to Peter Gabriel's In Your Eyes, and I read an interesting insight about it on Wikipedia. The article foremostly defines the song as "inspired by an African tradition of ambiguity in song". Reading this makes one wonder more about what makes Gabriel's prose so enigmatic.

When reviewing the following three verses, something clicked in my head with the "ambiguity" between the lines:

The grand façade, so soon will burn

Without a noise, without my pride

I reach out from the inside

Taking a look at the first and third lines, both are statements which can stand on their own with profoundness. Though, the second line at the middle seems to be adjectival/adverbial in purpose. What statement does it compliment though? The one above or the one below?

Considering the meaning behind the entire song, I found it to be both verses. Going back to the Wikipedia description I quoted, the gist of Gabriel's poetry can be illustrated as "ambiguity in song between romantic love and love of God". The very first word of In Your Eyes is just "love". We can say he's altogether singing about love, the one-word concept, and not as if both types of love are seperate in definition. If Gabriel's song overall implies two meanings of love at the same time, it's thematically fitting that his words are both a blur, figuratively and literally, between the two loves.

Returning to the three verses above, the second verse can gramatically applied to both the first line and the third line. Combining the first and second would mean that the singer will burn his concealing outer-self, without regard to his entire ego and to any self-pitying struggle. Synthesizing the second and third lines instead, would convey that the singer's true self is reaching out to his lover, absent of distractions and selfishness. Both permutations of the three verses serve Gabriel's message, while emphasizing how the the mysticism of love influences his attempt to convey it.

It's certainly hard to discretely notice this at a first or second listen of In Your Eyes, but that also adds to the intentional experience of ambiguity Gabriel gives. His technique can be paralleled to an African musical technique, termed by John McCullough as "layering". The term McCollough defines is familiar to what I can see in Gabriel's method with those selected 3 lines:

"The polyphonic texture is difficult to wrap your head around, as the drums play their own rhythm while the guitar and bass, though sharing a funk music influence, are playing two completely different musical lines. This is evident of layering, as the instruments are placed on top of each other in order to make the entity of the song."

McCullough's conception of dual meaning in the music-piece can be paralleled with my own:

"When writing the song, Gabriel was interested in the idea of there being no difference in African love songs between the love of a woman and the love of God"

For me, writing this analysis down is how I solidify my appreciation for songwriting's capabilities. I appreciate how the three-verses I keep on mentioning can be read and thought about in more than one order, without conflict in chronology and logic of reading. This poetry is unrestrained by time, the conventional way of listening and reading from left to right, and first second to last second. It's why I love it.

I feel like I want to cry from how many beautiful things I can discover on tumblr.

I just went on a following spree of so many contemporary art accounts.

Note to self: I'll use tumblr more actively.
