I am so grateful for my artistic friends. One of my favorite things to do whenever I visit a new city is to check out the art museums, and it is always so much fun when I can go with other people who appreciate visual arts and are very opinionated about it! Going to art museums is something I very much enjoy doing by myself, but there is definitely a 1+1=3 effect when going with other visually creative people. I love having artistic friends when I stop into an art store, and they understand how I can spend such delicate time ruminating over which new pencils to get, marveling over the different styles of illustrative markers, and brainstorming painted media. I think it essential for everyone to have friends who share the same deep hobbies and activities that they have a passion for. I adore the friends that I have who I can philosophize with and share opinions and perspectives on other aspects of life, who share many of the same values I do. From my friends who I have other wonderful things in common with, sometimes I get a blank stare when bringing up artworks that electrify me. Nothing can beat gushing about esoteric details in artistic exhibits and new creative works and being met with that synergistic (yes, I had to use a buzz word) excitement from another other visual artsy friend that blossoms into a brainstorm of even more ideas building on that first perspective.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
