Yerrr

Wassup! IS ANYONE STILL ON HERE?  

   Regardless if anyone still uses Tumblr religiously I am back and I am ready to stay committed to writing entries here just in case some next shit ever happens.

  In celebration of SUMMER 2K18 I decided that this will be the main platform in which i will be documenting majority of my journey. I will be posting on my Instagram occasionally but in all honesty I truly decided to begin using my Tumblr again so that i can have the freedom to express myself in many more ways that IG was restricting me from. 

   Tomorrow morning I will be catching my flight to Kingston, Jamaica. I will be leaving the country for the first time without a close relative accompanying me and I don’t have family out there either. I will be leaving with my beloved best friend and residing at his family’s home. My purpose for this trip is to just experience. Gain knowledge on agriculture and culture along with learning new knowledge throughout the journey.

6 weeks away from my comfort of family, friends and my pets. oh yeah and the lit beach bon fire parties..

in exchange for 

6 weeks of change. 6 weeks of learning to adapt to new surroundings. 6 weeks for new people. 6 weeks of experiences I worked hard to have. 6 weeks of Mind Expansion.

  I am so ready for this trip! I kid you not I truly manifested this trip into reality when I told myself at the beginning of the year that I will by any means necessary travel this year and add another stamp to my Passport. I will love my best life especially since I’m just 21.

  Crazy to think I truly proved myself! I am not fond of working a 9-5 or a 5 day a week job at some place that is not fulfilling my life purpose. When i tell you i grind for this trip, i truly fucking mean i grind. I didn't have to do anything crazy either. I mean besides actually believe in my self... I didn't even have to sell art work in the subway this time.  I attracted the funding for my trip by simply doing the things i always loved to do and especially the things i already had well experience in that have proven success in the past. Whether I was selling my Vegan Empanadas that I spent time putting love and patience into, curating and hosting my own backyard events with my best friend, creating beautiful paintings I vended at events or customs for amazing clients that truly support and admire my work. I even picked up a Saturday ONLY position at a small coffee shop off Wall Street for 8 hrs of my life a week and I actually fuck with it! Only because I work with 2 people max. and I get to drink a fresh espresso shot in the a.m and learn cool latte art, most importantly practice skills in which will assist me when I have my own business.

 What I did differently this time around was simple. I made more with less and attracted my money to me. I worked with it rather than against it. I learned a lot of money management skills from fellow humans that I know have their shit together financially and from a few books my lovely beautiful friends allowed me to borrow.

The Business of the 21st Century by Robert T. Kiosyaki

&

The Richest Man in Babylon by George S. Clason

 Check those books out if you're eager to learn some new things. 

  Yo anything can happen if you put your mind to it. Educate yourself and know yourself!

  Anyways enough about me forcing people to pick up some damn books. Earlier today I was viewing the images from my CUBA 2K17 trip in June. I was noticing how sexy my 2 week tanned looked on my skin and already excited for the 6 weeks of fun and sun. My experience in Cuba last year will defiantly be different than Jamaica this year, even with the islands only being 237 miles apart. I can already imagine how the juicy mangoes of Jamaica will taste and the crystal blue waters of the island will flow. I envision the mountain skyline all around me as the sun rises and the birds hover by.

  I’m getting sleepy and have to catch my flight in the a.m.

Stay Tuned for the beginning of my journey! Day 1 of 6 weeks in the island of Jamaica begins as soon as the Sun rises in New York and I hop on that Kingston bound Flight from JFK.

Hey!!! And welcome back to Creators Within Us! Today's interview is with Casia Gee Kuh! ❤❤

Im a Haitian American artist and I’m 22 years old. I got started from going to a paint and sip and instead of actually drinking and following instructions. I just painted whatever I was feeling since I was in a bad space mentally and since then. I’ve done it to go hand in hand with my poetry or gut feelings. I’m definitely interested in making my art a gift. I handmake patches if anything.

Here's a bit more about this lovely young woman as well.

1. Have you explored other avenues of art techniques?

I draw and paint on articles of clothing but I plan on exploring more as I continue.

2. Where do you see your progress in the next year or two?

I see myself selling my art less sporadically. Focusing more on networking and showcasing it.

3. What has been your favorite thing to draw out of all work?

My favorite thing to draw was my chakra paintings, simply because they just came to me. I've never plan out a painting.

4. Any plans going to conventions or vending markets?

Not as of yet but I would absolutely love too.

5. Any other artists out there that you've looked up to?

I love banksy basquiat and two fellow artists @mingonyc and @thebuttuglymartian are pretty inspiring as well.

6. How has your art practice changed over time?

It changed with me gaining more patience. I take my time more with detailing and the vision I try to execute.

7. What is dream project?

A dream project is create my own cartoon to be honest.

8. Name something you love about doing art and why?

Poetry fashion design and I’m working on a podcast for this coming year so that’s exciting.

9. Any advice for someone who wants to pursue art professionally?

Trust in yourself. You’re capable of anything. All the energy put in to the insignificant can be put into manifesting your personal dream!

This was super amazing and I thought starting the new year off with our very first interview was a must. Casia was a thrill to work with and I'm seriously in love with what she do.

Ya'll make sure you like and visit her sites and love by sharing and getting more people out to support.
