Can Creativity Change The World?

Can creativity change the world?

This was the title that caught my eye as I was zipping through Moynihan Hall in Penn Station Which is in Manhattan NYC. The artworks in the glass case which encompassed the exhibit stopped me in my tracks.

When I discovered that the exhibit was based on art that was created in moleskin Journals I could not resist. I had to take in this moment and document it so I could share it with you. These are some of my favorite pieces from this dope ass exhibit.

What is creativity? The ability to see what isntactually there. To be able to conjure up a Physical representation of an abstract thought.

My stetchbook starts with an exploration of impressionistic owls awash in color and strokes

Whitle realistic in their depiction, the colors are allowed to take over the com position. Halfway through the book, it is literally flipped into a series of character-based owls that inhabit their own colorfall world of fantasy. Both sides are awash in vibrant colors. Owls are the medium colors are the message.

I will be taking my notes and adding them into my second brain 🧠 📖📓📚📲📱🤳💻🖥️💾👨🏾‍💻👾

My paperblanks journals 📓 are the conduit in which the obscure, brilliant, broken, and racing thoughts 💭 of my mind transmutate into physical form.

Once captured, via transferring notes 📝 and highlights in my various books and media, to my paperblanks journals, they will be organized and distilled using Notion. An amazing app and the digital hub or control center of my second brain 🧠.
