I did an art and now I’m nourishing myself.

This means I just wrapped B-roll for the next episode of Title 17.

And I’m now getting ready to eat.

Have you eaten? How much water have you had? Take a deep breath-hold—slowly release. Do it again. One more.

Make art.

When you’re freaking out and you’re like, It doesn’t matter!, make your art.

Write the poem.
Compose the song.
Design the graphic novel.
Plant something.
Paint something.
Feed your cat (thats art).

Do it badly. Do it frantically.

But do it. Now.

I am headed to the Elijah McCoy Regional Office. It’s the first US Patent and Trademark Office’s regional outreach office.

Elijah McCoy is a significant figure in Ypsilanti, and he’ll be featured in the next episode of my show Title 17.

Listening to Eddie Cano and eating tabbouleh and having a gin and tonic while slow grilling in the dark.

My fast has ended, and I’ll be going to several dinners tomorrow.

But we wanted one for ourselves.

May all be well.

Im on a mission. #Blacksky #Pianists

Two full shelves of pleather bound sheet music ranging from Tansman to Mozart. The happy place.

People’s happy places are different.

Mine happens to be the 3rd floor of the Detroit Public Library across from the Detroit Institute of Arts.🎭

An identity shift is happening, and I’m documenting in real time.

Look for that article and on Channel 24 Local.
