âWe look up at the same stars, and see such different things.â
â George R. R. Martin, A Storm of Swords (via wordsnquotes)
The morning routines of famous artists, and what I learned from them
Hello cuties!Â
So I took some time to research a few artistâs morning routines and LET ME TELL YOU how surprised I was to realize how interesting they are. Iâll start right away lmao, so letâs see:
1. Salvador DalĂ
I wouldnât necessarily say he is the best exemple lmao, and hereâs why, Iâll even quote him:Â â Every morning upon awakening I experience a supreme pleasure: that of being Salvador DalĂ, and I ask myself, wonderstruck, what prodigious thing will he do today, this Salvador DalĂ.â This little surrealist used his ego like others would use caffeine. He still did better though than Pablo Picasso, who often arrived at his studio in Paris around 2 p.m. yikess.Â
2. Andy Warhol
So each morning he woke up and had a phone call with his friend, Pat Hackett, around 9 a.m. to talk about the previous day. These calls lasted up to 2 hours, after which Warhol showered, got dressed, took his two daschunds downstairs to the kitchen where he had breakfast. Interesting approach.Â
3. BalthusÂ
So Balthus sat down for breakfast each morning around 9:30 a.m. and read the mail right after. He scrutinized the quality of the sunlight to decide whether or not he would paint that day. If the light was right in the early afternoon he walked to his studio. Before getting to work he said a prayer and meditated for several hours in front of an unfinished painting - meanwhile smoking. He once said:Â âI intuitively understood that smoking doubled my faculty of concentration, allowing me to be entirely within a canvasâ. I liked quoting this.Â
4. Robert RauschenbergÂ
He woke up and ate a ânice, healthy breakfastâ. He took his vitamins, then drank an espresso. Matt Hall, his former property manager said âMy god, heâd have a triple, double espresso. Iâd be climbing the wall, and it was getting him kick-startedâ. The most interesting part of his routine, however, was that he watched âThe Young and the Restlessâ religiously. Soap operas and other television programs played constantly in his studio as well.Â
5. Chris Ofili
Ofili arrived to his studio each morning between 9 and 10 a.m. and began his day there. He tore up a big sheet of paper into eight equal pieces and he would loosen up by making abstract marks on them with his pencil. Then he would move on to watercolor. Each piece usually took him between 5 and 15 minutes. Some days he completed just one, on others he finished as many as 10.Â
6. Louise BourgeoisÂ
Each morning the artist woke up and drank a cup of tea âwith some jelly straight out of the jarâ. Afterwards âsheâd have a bit of a sugar high and be ready to rollâ. She arrived to her Brooklyn studio around 10 a.m. . She generally spent the mornings engaging in more physical activities but after lunch she would draw for hours.Â
7. N. C. WyethÂ
He woke up at 5 a.m. and immediately started chopping wood. He put down his axe around 6:30 a.m., and had a breakfast that usually consisted of grapefruit, pancakes, eggs, and coffee. He then went to his Pennsylvania studio and composed a letter or two. After this it was time to work. He threw on a smock, lit his pipe and began to paint,Â
8. Willem de Kooning
He was never a morning person. He would wake up. reluctantly, around 10 or 11 a.m. and immediately gulp down several cups of strong coffee. He then painted the day away and only paused for dinners or visits from friends. After he got married to Elaine Fried they settled on drinking coffee with milk instead of breakfast, worked together and only took breaks to get another cup of coffee or share a cigarette.Â
9. Joan MirĂł
The Spanish painter rose every day at 6 a.m. and he bathed, ate a light breakfast of coffee and bread. After that he settled down in front of his easel. He painted without stopping from 7 a.m. to noon, at which point he left his studio and exercised for an hour.Â
10. Georgia OâKeeffeÂ
âThe morning is the best time, there are no people aroundâ- or at least thatâs what she said to an interviewer in 1966. She typically woke up with the sun, then built a fire or brewed some tea. OâKeeffe then reclined in bed to watch the dawn break. She usually took a half-hour walk after it. At 7 a.m. she had breakfast. Some mornings she tended to her garden, but her favorite days were the ones she spent in the studio.Â
________________________________________________________________
So my first takeaway from this mini research is that there is no one-size-fits-all morning routine that works equally well for everyone. Letâs take Willem de Kooning for example. He would absolutely hate N. C. Wyeth âs schedule. My best advice is to experiment with everything until you find the routine that works best for you personally. I hope that this was somewhat entertaining to you guys lmao it sure was for me.Â
Have a great night and just keep on shining! âš
Here it is folks:
My definitive ranking of my least favorite bodies of water! These are ranked from least to most scary (1/10 is okay, 10/10 gives me nightmares). Iâm sorry this post is long, I have a lot of thoughts and feelings about this.
The Great Blue Hole, Belize
Iâve been here! I have snorkeled over this thing! It is terrifying! The water around the hole is so shallow you canât even swim over the coral without bumping it, and then thereâs a little slope down, and then it just fucking drops off into the abyss! When youâre over the hole the water temperature drops like 10 degrees and itâs midnight blue even when youâre right by the surface. Anyway. The Great Blue Hole is a massive underwater cave, and its roughly 410 feet deep. Overall, itâs a relatively safe area to swim. Itâs a popular tourist attraction and recreational divers can even go down and explore some of the caves. People do die at the Blue Hole, but it is generally from a lack of diving experience rather than anything sinister going on down in the depths. My rating for this one is 1/10 because Iâve been here and although itâs kinda freaky itâs really not that bad.
Lake Baikal, Russia
When I want to give myself a scare I look at the depth diagram of this lake. Itâs so deep because itâs not a regular lake, itâs a Rift Valley, A massive crack in the earthâs crust where the continental plates are pulling apart. Itâs over 5,000 feet deep and contains one-fifth of all freshwater on Earth. Luckily, its not any more deadly than a normal lake. It just happens to be very, very, freakishly deep. My rating for this lake is a 2/10 because I really hate looking at the depth charts but just looking at the lake itself isnât that scary.
Jacobâs Well, Texas
This âwellâ is actually the opening to an underwater cave system. Itâs roughly 120 feet deep, surrounded by very shallow water. This area is safe to swim in, but diving into the well can be deadly. The cave system below has false exits and narrow passages, resulting in multiple divers getting trapped and dying. My rating is a 3/10, because although I hate seeing that drop into the abyss itâs a pretty safe place to swim as long as you donât go down into the cave (which I sure as shit wonât).
The Devilâs Kettle, Minnesota
This is an area in the Brule River where half the river just disappears. It literally falls into a hole and is never seen again. Scientists have dropped in dye, ping pong balls, and other things to try and figure out where it goes, and the things they drop in never resurface. Rating is 4/10 because Sometimes I worry Iâm going to fall into it.
Flathead Lake, Montana
Everyone has probably seen this picture accompanied by a description about how this lake is actually hundreds of feet deep but just looks shallow because the water is so clear. If that were the case, this would definitely rank higher, but that claim is mostly bull. Look at the shadow of the raft. If it were hundreds of feet deep, the shadow would look like a tiny speck. Flathead lake does get very deep, but the spot the picture was taken in is fairly shallow. You canât see the bottom in the deep parts. However, having freakishly clear water means you can see exactly where the sandy bottom drops off into blackness, so this still ranks a 5/10.
The Lower Congo River, multiple countries
Most of the Congo is a pretty normal, if large, River. In the lower section of it, however, lurks a disturbing surprise: massive underwater canyons that plunge down to 720 feet. The fish that live down there resemble cave fish, having no color, no eyes, and special sensory organs to find their way in the dark. These canyons are so sheer that they create massive rapids, wild currents and vortexes that can very easily kill you if you fall in. A solid 6/10, would not go there.
Little Crater Lake, Oregon
On first glance this lake doesnât look too scary. It ranks this high because I really donât like the sheer drop off and how clear it is (because it shows you exactly how deep it goes). This lake is about 100 feet across and 45 feet deep, and I strongly feel that this is too deep for such a small lake. Also, the water is freezing, and if you fall into the lake your muscles will seize up and youâll sink and drown. I donât like that either. 7/10.
Grand Turk 7,000 ft drop off
No. 8/10. I hate it.
Gulf of Corryvreckan, Scotland
Due to a quirk in the sea floor, there is a permanent whirlpool here. This isnât one of those things that looks scary but actually wonât hurt you, either. It absolutely will suck you down if you get too close. Scientists threw a mannequin with a depth gauge into it and when it was recovered the gauge showed it went down to over 600 feet. If you fall into this whirlpool you will die. 9/10 because this seems like something that should only be in movies.
The Bolton Strid, England
This looks like an adorable little creek in the English countryside but itâs not. Its really not. Statistically speaking, this is the most deadly body of water in the world. It has a 100% mortality rate. There is no recorded case of anyone falling into this river and coming out alive. This is because, a little ways upstream, this isnât a cute little creek. Itâs the River Wharfe, a river approximately 30 feet wide. This river is forced through a tiny crack in the earth, essentially turning it on its side. Now, instead of being 30 feet wide and 6 feet deep, itâs 6 feet wide and 30 feet deep (estimated, because no one actually knows how deep the Strid is). The currents are deadly fast. The banks are extremely undercut and the river has created caves, tunnels and holes for things (like bodies) to get trapped in. The innocent appearance of the Strid makes this place a death trap, because people assume itâs only knee-deep and step in to never be seen again. I hate this river. I have nightmares about it. I will never go to England just because I donât want to be in the same country as this people-swallowing stream. 10/10, I live in constant fear of this place.
Honorable mention: The Quarry, Pennsylvania
I donât know if thatâs itâs actual name. This lake gets an honorable mention not because itâs particularly deep or dangerous, but itâs where I almost drowned during a scuba diving accident.
i'm freaking out. the more i study neurology, the more i find myself actually interested in medicine. thing is, i was premed for a hot sec before i changed my mind in my sophomore year. i don't think i fully considered how much work it'd be, and finally confronting those challenges terrified me.
now, i've already graduated and have a job, with the goal of applying to phd programs next year. but... because i do medical research and work closely with patients, nurses, and doctors, i'm finding myself spending hours just reading about, say, vascular territories, and actually enjoying it. in a way i never did when i was premed. which freaks me out. medicine? i thought i already failed once.
i won't make any sweeping statements about my future, but i'm not as frightened of failure as i once was. i am reminding myself that it's okay to start over and change my mind. there is always time. i'm actually feeling excited for the future again. âĄ
i wish i had a window seat with lots of pillows that i could sit in and drink tea and read books in and watch the rain in
today is not my day. my brain is all over the place but itâs okay... just wish my brain would function properly sometimes and allow me to focus for once
truth hurts so much more
To my fellow students whatever level in the educational system you are at:
This year/past two semesters has been super hard, and likely very chaotic and stressful. Exam seasons are already stressful on their own, now you have the added pressure. On top of that itâs super dark (depending on where you live) and all this have lasted for a long time. Please remember that when you arenât feeling well. Please remember that when you study. Please remember that during exams. Please remember that if everything seems worse than normally. đž
Be kind to yourself. Meet yourself with compassion and understanding. You are human, allow yourself to be. đž
Your worth is not measures by or affected by your productivity or your grades. đž
