I was v sick the beginning of October and barely scraping through at work. But I really wanted to do Inktober this time because like Graham said if you turn your back on drawing you are doooooooooomed. So I got a bunch of art supplies today and basically I am broke now but very enthusiastic about life all of a sudden. I can’t draw but I love drawing like it’s oddly one of the things I am okay being bad at, whereas everything else I am like oh I am not going to even try because I am not good like right away but with drawing it’s just for the love really and it’s just so much fun.
I am not going to go by any prompts or anything this will just be a series of things I like. And most of them are weird and some are not even good.
But honestly though Kisarazu Cat’s eye is the one of the best things ever made by mankind and I don’t even mean this ironically or anything like half my life’s philosophy is built around Tabuchi Kohei and his decision to just live even when faced with like death around the corner, in his fishing town with his baseball buddies.
There are many lines I love from the show: “I want to the Sex Pistols of Kisarazu” was what I was going to draw initially, but chose this one instead because it is just a ‘normal’ dialogue but really my favorite thing about Kohei is that he is so chill about being normal, and an absolute nobody.
It really reminds me of “Franny and Zooey” where Franny says: “I am sick of not having the courage to be an absolute nobody”.
And Bussan is just sat there, in his oversized sweatshirt, and he has still never gone out of Kisarazu, and he’s so superchill about the whole thing. Honestly, that is what I want to be like in life, truly. (Not in the sense that I want to not do anything ever, but just to chill about ‘not making a splash’, if you know what I mean. Because it’s life and life only).
Anyway, I don’t have a scanner so I took a picture on my Ipad. This is Day 1!
