Ouattara Watts — From Côte d'Ivoire to Basquiat's New York

Ouattara Watts studied art in Paris in the 1970s, and after a chance encounter with Jean-Michel Basquiat at an opening in the city, the pair became friends. Basquiat bought numerous works from Watts on a visit to his studio and convinced the artist to move to New York. Watts was even present on the…

The hottest fashion brand in the world was built on irony and $1,000 sweatshirts

And Rihanna and Kanye and A$AP Rocky.

“Don’t let Zara and Uniqlo educate you on the price of a garment because that’s not fashion,” he once said. “That’s like McDonald’s. Your health is tied to that — a 99-cent nugget.” /Virgil Abloh/

This is one LOoooONG and SNOWY winter here in Northern part of Latvia.

Threes are covered with snow, ground is full of it. Our backyard and all around is covered with about 50-60 centimeter deep snow...And everything else the same.. :)

So as i have to take walks with my little one almost every day, i finally experimented with lots of threads and created myself this pair of extra thick mittens. Well, actually they become my prototype for the mittens i am creating for the shop right now. As they turned just as i imagined.. :)

So in a couple of days i hope to add new and freshly created pair of them in my ASTROHOOLIGANS.... :) :)

Yes, yes... we’ve come so far. Last posts here about 2 years ago. But all this  time ..life goes on. Just this morning, heading for some pizza supplies to the nearest shop, i remembered about this tumbler account. And i thought to myself...maybe it’s time to fck facebook and concentrate on more interesting things. I you think about it even more. Maybe this is the reason behind most of the fb profiles for the business and craftsmen, looks like a long forgotten piles of garbage... because who really like to be there anyways? :D

Surf Your Reality.

If we could count down all the opinions of the world, you wouldn’t be surprised, how many of them said life is hard and problems are complicated. Especially, if we come to really hard problems, then, of course, the solutions must be even more complicated. You see, this is how we are trained to see the world, this is how we’re thought, this is what our moms, our teachers, our schoolmates had thought us, and we finally believed it. This is just how it works, and that is just how it’s done. Please don’t tell me it’s different, because I won’t believe you anyway, and also..you’re making me angry!

How surprised I was, when reading a book, yesterday. A book by Vadim Zeland, a Russian mystic, writer, esoteric. The book’s called Reality Transurfing.

And he writes and explains there, just how easy it is for us, to loose our energy just because we’re used to think that way. Actually, as he writes, any hard problem have a really simply solution! The problem is not hidden in the facts, that the solution might be to hard to understand, but in the fact, that we have to FIND it “somewhere on the surface”. And finding easy solutions, when you’re so sure that there is only hard ones - oh, it can be impossible! 

I know it from myself!

Some time ago I was working in a quite big cosmetics company, HQ located in Riga, Latvia. I was a trainer for the shop-assistant girls, teaching them, how to make your customer smile, buy more, tell about products, and also some psychology. You know, these quite expensive, fancy shops, where they smile to you as soon as you enter the shop, and are really friendly , and accept all your needs and wishes, and talk to you as an old friend.... Yeah. 

When working there I really enjoyed my work, but also there was some really serious ( as I thought) questions, like- hey, girl, you’ll soon be in your thirties, what did you do ON YOUR OWN, an what work can you manage YOURSELF, if excluding working for others all the time? And I didn’t have an answer for a long time. I was tormenting myself with all these questions, like - I can’t sit in the office all day and just make some alien ideas become alive all the time. I have my own ideas, why can’t I just quit everything and start my own business?!

And actually... I quit. Afterwards some time with confusion, and doubts, and mess in my head, and uncertainty followed. What will I do now? On my own?! I couldn’t find the one and only idea, however I was trying as crazy to choose the best idea of all, and try to start my business. Well, ... it didn’t happen, because for me, making the decision was a hell of a problem. It was so hard and I was telling myself, all the time - listen, this problem is SO HARD, you MUST NOT make a mistake, you hear me?

And the right idea just didn’t and didn’t come to my side, and I become more and more depressed about this fact.

Just yesterday, when starting to read this book, I realized, how simple is the answer! Just start telling yourself new things, and your life will follow your thoughts. Because, as an old law says - where’s your attention, there’s your energy.

If you put all your attention to a thought to NOT fck all the things up, and NOT make any mistakes, then, surely - all you will do, will be giving more energy to these fear and doubts, you will be feeding them, unconsciously, and wondering, why nothing will move forward..

But if you choose to feed right thoughts and generate right energies - everything will fall into places just in a while.

So....let’s SURF into our own realities, my friends!! And become the fearless travelers to the oceans of our unconscious minds..and let’s surf into paradise, darlings!! :)

Seriously.

This strange time, when sunny summer days are becoming shorter, sunlight gets back to other parts of the world ( read: away from Northern hemisphere :) ), and you remember, some say AUTUMN was the most loved time of the year for many artists and writers... well, what to say. I find it strange... :) I find it wet and cold, and foggy and mysterious in lots of ways. But favorite? :) :) :) :)

Freelancer.

..How sweet the sound. :)

After soooooooooooo long time of hesitating myself, thinking and thinking, and thinking about hippie life, wild self, grannys old property at countryside, about all the colorful ideas i have to hide when working a “normal” job, and about all the impulses you have to put aside, when choosing safe, old life with salaries, office desk, medical insurance and paid holidays..............TODAY was the day i quit all this stuff to finally follow my inner Giudance.

WHERE it will take me? I don’t know yet!!:)

I just hear the voices telling me - my sweet, little friend!!!!! Come with me, let ME be your “boss”, let ME “hire” you, for this moment.. all I can pay to you, at this moment, is a TON of free time, all 4 cardinal points, breath of fresh summer air, and......uncertainty...

..... so let us.. begin!!!!
