A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson

In the life of the artist there need be no hour without its pleasure. I take the author, with whose career I am best acquainted; and it is true he works in a rebellious material, and that the act of writing is cramped and trying both to the eyes and the temper; but remark him in his study, when matter crowds upon him and words are not wanting — in what a continual series of small successes time flows by; with what a sense of power as of one moving mountains, he marshals his petty characters; with what pleasures, both of the ear and eye, he sees his airy structure growing on the page; and how he labours in a craft to which the whole material of his life is tributary, and which opens a door to all his tastes, his loves, his hatreds, and his convictions, so that what he writes is only what he longed to utter. He may have enjoyed many things in this big, tragic playground of the world; but what shall he have enjoyed more fully than a morning of successful work? Suppose it ill paid: the wonder is it should be paid at all. Other men pay, and pay dearly, for pleasures less desirable.

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
Essay (1888-09), “A Letter to a Young Gentleman Who Proposes to Embrace the Career of Art,” Scribner’s Magazine, Vol. 4, No. 3

💿 Britney Spears, playback y tres clubs en 2003: ¿te imaginas estar ahí?

👠 Una noche loca, tres clubs, un solo ícono… y tú criticando el playback 😤

Imagina esto: estás en pleno 2003, te lanzas de fiesta a un club de strippers, y de la nada… ¡entra Britney Spears! 😱 Pero no fue solo en uno… esa noche, Britney hizo playback de sus últimos hits en tres clubs diferentes, así de diva. 💃🏼🔥

Y sí, hubo quien se quejó del playback. Como si fuera un concierto en Las Vegas. Como si no fuera la artista pop más grande del momento haciendo historia en tres clubs random en una sola noche.

📺 MTV sabía que era historia: por eso lo transmitieron

La cosa fue tan legendaria que MTV lo incluyó en su especial «Britney: In the Zone and Out All Night». Eso no fue casualidad. Fue porque sabían que era contenido dorado. 🏆📼

No era un show planeado. No había prensa, ni alfombra roja. Solo Britney, música pregrabada y un puñado de personas que tuvieron la suerte de estar ahí… y aún así se quejaron. 🙄

💔 Yo hubiera dado todo por estar en uno de esos tres clubs

Mientras unos criticaban el playback, yo hubiera vendido un órgano para estar en uno de esos clubs. Pero hey, no todo está perdido:

✨Lo puedes disfrutar aquí en excelente calidad.✨

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_S_vewckqog

Playback o no, esa noche fue cultura pop en estado puro, y Britney lo dio todo en tacones y con actitud. 💅🏼🪩

Hey fellow developers, do you have any tips on how to get in “the zone”?

For me, it seems that most of the time I’m procrastinating and coding goes very slow and then suddenly, I get “in the zone” and code, in 4 hours, as much as I regularly do in a (work)week or more.

I want to be “in the zone” more. Not only to do more in less time, bit also to have time for other things.

#programmer #coding #inthezone

I was so in #InTheZone today, out making #PuddleOfTheDay photos in the rain, I didn't notice my body had gotten quite cold and wet. #AutisticJoy #hyperfocus
#berlin #MastoArt #spring2023

@beecycling
It’s concentrating so hard that it’s little tongue is poking out
#InTheZone

I was on fire with my dad jokes this morning. I've never been in the zone like that before but my son was dressed up as a cowboy for a special school day and I must have rattled off 5 jokes in the span of 20 seconds until he finally asked me to stop.

Pixel (Im)perfect 🟥🟩🟦
Sit & Draw 16.12.22

Rounding out 2022 (and our 16th week of regular Friday morning sessions), we drove squarely into mark making with pixels, however irregular they might be.

Precision was not the aim here, more the method and exercise, and the result exudes a genuine human soul. It made us stand back and laugh at its wonkiness, but it felt true.

There is something homely and domestic about this piece, a bit of quilted suburbia to it. All unforeseen.

As with all of our sessions, there was no preconceived form or idea to achieve, only a simple directive in execution. And once again, something that never existed (and perhaps never would) was brought to forth by a group of participants entering into a state of timeless mark making flow (one participant almost missed her scheduled dentist appointment due to being fully engaged in the process). None of us would have produced this on our own. It was a genuine group effort.

Very appreciative of everyone who joined in this morning at @amoeba.tredjelanggatan , AND all who participated in our previous sessions and workshops as we launched this fledgling idea! See you in 2023!

✍️The Sit & Draw website is in development and will be live soon! 📰 Drop a line or DM if you have questions or are just curious.
