Today is a great day to be alive. There could have been no better weather with temperatures that felt like a breezy summer day. And as I elapsed through the day in a half awake manner, I could not help but quietly appreciate, and I mean truly appreciate my surroundings and all the gifts of the universe. From the small pine cones on the ground outside the MFA to my hardworking peers of young eager artists, scholars and I, all so intrinsically bonded through our genuine love of art, through our grainy interests and hunger to produce, to move and to make. What could be more real than this beautiful truth… But mostly I am happy to have conquered this erratic yet critical week, a week that felt more like the weight of a month, but one that has helped me regain back my center. So let us move on now and into the three-day weekend, whatever it may become – less is more and more with less.

Here’s a blunder for everyone, behold Mirai Misue‘s Chaotic, a video to gargle down the end of the weekday. What an appropriately titled animation of multiplying organic loops. In this video, Mizue follows a traditional animation process, drawing and coloring each slide by hand and then scanning the drawings into a uniform body using the computer. His process is tedious, but a project well worth the sweat.
