It can feel as alienating and heartbreaking to make anything right now. The attempt is what matters. Iāve been trying to make art for a while and feel gratification in doing it but I think thatās the problem isnāt it? We force it and when it doesnāt come out in the way we want it to it feels like we shouldnāt even try. By the nature of you making itās important, and your art is needed rlight now-
even though it doesnāt feel like its being witnessed. You are a witness to it

i think i have a bad tendency to try and create art as a coping mechanism in the midst of Whateverā¦ but usually that stage of things ends up being messy, uncomfortable, and poorly made (esp bad when iāve invested too much in it already lol)
the most beautiful worthwhile stuff is made after the Whatever, and thatās the hardest because you have to confront that mess with complete clarity

At least itās out there. I get so caught up in my heart being in itās most perfect form but if I could actually access that impossibility I wouldnāt grow from the process. Basic I know, but its good to be reminded of.

A classic in its own right~
Spearheaded by Otomo (Creator of Akira)
3 Back-to-Back Anime films by 3 different directors. Magnetic Rose, Stink Bomb and Cannon Fodder: all as cohesive as they are stylishly animated. If youāre into Sci-fi and wild worlds with rich characters I highly recommend giving it a watch āØ

Isolating and mystical, the Red Turtle (La Tortue Rouge) is a film soaked in longing and respite. I liken it to Cast Away but as a more tender love story. Itās quiet moments are bespoke of a greater understanding that things in our lives are underpinned by a changing world and that our proximity to nature is tied to how we care for one another. Not to mention the animation itself is amazing and has sketch-like quality I enjoy. I first watched it during the pandemic when moments of calm were needed and it certainly gave me what I was searching for-
I hope you give it a look, you might start seeing Red Turtles too šŗ
