Worlds of IF (October 1958)

This one really tells a story, doesn't it. Love the dust and small rocks kicked up by the, I assume, suddenly-opened crevasse on the moon.

The work of the artist.

“Living life as an artist is a practice.
You are either engaging in the practice
or you’re not.

It makes no sense to say you’re not good at it.
It’s like saying, “I’m not good at being a monk.”
You are either living as a monk or you’re not.

We tend to think of the artist’s work as the output.

The real work of the artist
is a way of being in the world.”

― Rick Rubin, The Creative Act: A Way of Being

My non-work project for the week was to decorate a little box for my son, who was (momentarily) obsessed with Blue Prince. I put some plastic coins and gems inside.

It was a nice tangible thing to get my creative juices flowing before June Toons!
