Lockdown – creativity
Just for fun here is one of my creative efforts during these last few weeks of the lockdown, as well as interesting creative efforts by others I found on the internet. If I come up with another creative output, I will post it here. Feel free to post if you have any.
I know I posted this earlier on another post, but in case anyone missed it here it is. I don’t do people sketches very often because they tend to not turn out right and I have offended people in the past. I hope, knock on wood, this one does not do that! I’m somewhat proud of it. 🙂
I need to work on the eyes.

I found this video fun and inspiring about getting into a creative routine these days.
Remember the 60 coffee beans, as that is important!

Jung, you did a great go of it, like you, I too, cannot draw faces well, I do my best….. But I love drawing in general, between writing poetry and doodling/sketching/drawing, and whatever creative Juices I get flowing, It helps me to keep focused, helps me cope, etc.

Thanks again Jacki. I have a new idea for a sketch I will start on, stay tuned.

This isn’t much, but it’s all I could shake out of my brain today. It was inspired by the long-term implications for the elderly of barber shops being closed.
To the tune of “Ol’ Man River”:
Old man ear hair. That old man ear hair.
It must mean somethin’, but don’t do nothin’.
It just keeps growin’. It keeps on growin’ out long.

Lol David, good one…lol…I ‘m going to have to go listen /Google original tune to refresh my memory on how tune goes, but keep your words in mind, while doing so….
-
LOL David! Wait another month and I’m sure we’ll see some activity with his nose hairs!
-
LOL alright David. An old fart like me should feel offended by those lyrics. I trim my own nose hair but generally leave the ear hair and eyebrows to the barber.
In October 1960, Robeson embarked on a two-month concert tour of Australia and New Zealand with Essie (his wife), primarily to generate money, at the behest of Australian politician Bill Morrow. While in Sydney, he became the first major artist to perform at the construction site of the future Sydney Opera House.
Try this video from the great Paul Robeson Jacki, from 1936.
Ol’ man river
Dat ol’ man river
He mus’ know sumpin’
But don’t say nuthin’
He jes’ keeps rollin’
He keeps on rollin’ alongHe don’ plant taters
He don’t plant cotton
An’ dem dat plants ’em
Is soon forgotten
But ol’ man river
He jes keeps rollin’ alongYou an’ me, we sweat an’ strain
Body all achin’ an’ racked wid pain
Tote dat barge!
Lif’ dat bale!
Git a little drunk
An’ you lands in jailAh gits weary
An’ sick of tryin’
Ah’m tired of livin’
An’ scared of dyin’
But ol’ man river
He jes’ keeps rolling’ along -

I came across this interesting perspective from a crew on a cruise ship these days during lock down. Just up until a few months ago, cruises were a little passion of mine, but I was so glad I did not go on one in early March as I was sort of planning to. This little video give a little glimmer of light in everyone’s current situation, which of course varies much right now.
Bottom line, stay groovy, creative, and make the best of these times!
