Pottery and nothing else - Why Am I Making This? Issue #16

Hey all!

It's Julien. An artist. I write this newsletter. You've probably been getting it for a while. I send it every month with updates and, theoretically, thoughts, but currently I have no thoughts. Over the past month I have been feeling pretty lackluster creatively. but I have been dutifully going to my pottery class and have a lot of new pottery to show you.

I've also been playing quite a few video games. My hands are shaking with anticipation about the Animal Crossing update & DLC which will be arriving next week, and last week I played one of the most lovely games I have ever played - Chicory: A Colorful Tale. I cannot recommend it enough, especially if you are interested in thoughts about our (individual and collective) relationship to creativity.

Without further ado, my pottery for your viewing enjoyment:

And that's it! Short one this month but I really just have nothing in my brain. I have a few writing projects I'm going to be starting soon, so you might get something a little wordier next month. Then again, maybe not!

I'll definitely have more pottery though! And maybe some Animal Crossing photography. Or something completely different depending on what my whims decide.

Talk to you later!

Julien
