Styron's Scratch Pad

My sketchbook has always been more like a junk drawer than a "visual journal". Here you will find random thoughts, graphic experiments (get your mind out of the gutter), and maybe a packet of soy sauce.

Washing Powder… Tired of giving your hard earned cash to corporations that support lobbyists like ALEC, who push for tax cuts and laws that are crippling black, brown and working class communities (netflix 13th by @directher). MAKE IT yourself! You can't avoid giving them some money, but only give them as little as you can. Hit'em where it hurts…they gon get this work! 1cup of borax 1cup of *washing soda 1 bar of…err…bar soap • Use a fine cheese grater to grind up the soap • Mix with borax and wash soda • If you want to add some smell good like lavender just add a few drops of essential oil to a cotton ball and toss it into the mix. • Store in container with lid. • Use a tablespoon or 2 per load. Wifey actually prefers this to the store bought stuff, borax kills mold so if you forget to move the clothes to the dryer they won't get that weird smell…but I'm sure that's never happened to you. Recipe cred diynatural.com *If you can't find washing soda it's easy to make. It's just baking soda with the water removed. Preheat oven to 400, take 2cups of baking soda (cocaine optional…kidding), spread evenly on a cookie pan. Bake in oven until moisture evaporates, usually about 35min (the powder will look dull). Now you have washing soda! {#feel,#make,#share,#repeat—#fauvmode} #photography #product #laundry #washingpowder #chores #diy #blacklivesmatter #13th #thatpart #brothastewart #blerd #afropunk #protest (at Atlanta, Georgia)

Kentucky Xmas… Go ahead take a sip (only if you are 21 or have a good fake id…kidding)! This is one of my favorite drinks, year round, but especially around the holidays…and it's easy to make even you had one or four. Pour 2oz Bourbon and 3oz Cranberry Juice into a glass…add ice and stir until the glass is cold. If you want to impress someone special get naked…err…add frozen cranberries. Recipe cred.

#mood Crown by @runthejewels, my favorite song on a stellar album. Picture is the book cover from the collaboration between Maya Angelou and team Basquiat, find it IF you can! Great for the kids…and adults (guess who's bookshelf this is on—saving it until she can fully appreciate it 😉). Phew…three of my favorite artist in one post 😆 {#feel, #make, #share, #repeat—#fauvmode} #art #hiphop #poetry (at Grant Park, Atlanta)
