“How to be an Artist”
Joseph Bueys
{Translated from German}
Do not let yourself fall.
Learn to observe snakes.
Plant impossible gardens.
Invite someone dangerous to tea.
Make little signs that say “yes” and
Distribute them throughout your house.
Become a friend of freedom and uncertainty.
Look forward to dreams. Wine with movies.
Swing as high as you can
with a swing under the moonlight.
Cultivate many different moods.
Refuse to be responsible.
Do it out of love.
Take a lot of naps.
Keep spending money. Do it now. The money will follow.
Belief in witchcraft. Laugh a lot.
Bathe in the moonlight.
Dream wild dreams, fantastic dreams.
Draw on the walls. Read every day.
Imagine you're enchanted. Giggle with children.
Listen to old people. Open yourself. Dive.
Be free. Prize yourself.
Drop the fear.
Play with everything.
Entertain the child in you.
You are innocent.
Build a fort of blankets.
Get wet.
Hug Trees.
Write love letters.
...And I say: dance as much as possible.

{The Original}
Lasse dich fallen. Lerne Schlangen zu beobachten
Pflanze unmögliche Gärten.
Lade jemand Gefährlichen zum Tee ein.
Mache kleine Zeichen, die <<ja>> sagen und
Verteile sie überall in deinem Haus.
Werde ein Freund von Freiheit und Unsicherheit.
Freue dich auf Träume. Weine bei Kinofilmen.
Schaukel so hoch du kannst
mit einer Schaukel bei Mondlicht.
Pflege verschiedene Stimmungen.
Verweigere dich <<verantwortlich>> zu sein.
Tue es aus Liebe.
Mache eine Menge Nickerchen.
Gib weiter Geld aus. Mache es jetzt. Das Geld wird folgen.
Glaube an Zauberei. Lache eine Menge.
Bade im Mondlicht.
Träume wilde, phantastische Träume.
Zeichne auf die Wände. Lies jeden Tag.
Stell dir vor, du wärst verzaubert. Kichere mit Kindern.
Höre alten Leuten zu. Öffne dich. Tauche ein.
Sei frei. Preise dich selbst.
Lass die Angst fallen.
Spiele mit allem.
Unterhalte das Kinde in dir.
Du bist unschuldig.
Baue eine Burg aus Decken.
Werde nass.
Umarme Bäume.
Schreibe Liebesbriefe.
… und ich sage: Tanze so viel wie möglich.

Learning & Drawing
Three weeks ago I moved to Mainz, Germany. I'm living with Jonas, 3 amazing kids, 2 shaggy dogs, and one wonder-woman named Caro. I'm taking a course in the German language, and trying to make as much as I can. Often, these two tasks become one. Here's a peak into my sketchbook:

Fame & (lack of) Fortune
Our wonderful Tábor Museum of Puppet Arts (Muzea Loutkářského Umění) was featured in Czech online cultural magazine Kulturne, with some lovely pictures of the opening. I'm already feeling quite nostalgic for this place. Check out the article and photos
And most importantly, a late-night arm-wrestle between Juulia and me.
It's not important who won.
(Juulia won.)
