Friday Night Sketching Something Session - 03/14/25

Hello, happy Friday! Hope you're doing well today. I'm Jason Nicholas Nicholas with the Inkspired Life. I'm popping on for a few minutes here. I'm gonna do, um, some lighthouse sketching. Yeah, I love lighthouses. I have a lighthouse sketching workshop coming up on April 5th. Um, you can click the link you see in the chat, or there's a QR code you could scan that for more info. Yeah, let's, uh, do some sketching. It's been a crazy week. It's been a slow week, um, at school. A good week, but went really slow. So I figured it'd be fun tonight just to do some sketching and, uh, just kind of change my state of mind a little bit. Get out of the school mode, head towards weekend mode. Sketching is a great way to— for me to change my mindset, so Let's do that. I am going to be sketching— let's see, I'm just looking at my photographs here of different lighthouses in Maine that I've seen. We're gonna— let's see, we're gonna sketch the West Quoddy Headlight. That's in Lubeck, Maine, built in 1808. And let me see if I can pop an image on screen for you to see. Let's see if we can do that, and then we'll kind of do a quick sketch. Here it is. Let's see if I can drag it on here. Ta-da! There you go. So that is the, uh, the lighthouse right there, West Quoddy Lighthouse. Pretty cool. Um, I love the yellow— not yellow, I know colors— it's the white and red stripes on there. Told you it's been a long week at school. Um, so let's just do a quick sketch of this. Um, I have not sketched this lighthouse yet. This will be my first quick attempt at it, and, uh, let's, let's have some fun with it. Uh, I'll show you what I have sketched so far. Let me— going to actually get rid of the image, and then I will sketch it off to the side. I'll leave it off to the side here. So what I have sketched so far is the Pemaquid Point Lighthouse. I've done a Couple of sketches of that right here. Pretty cool. I'm loving sketching on this kraft paper, um, right here. I love the brown paper bag kind of color, and it really shows off the Creative Marker as well. And then, uh, this was just a fun lighthouse from my imagination. What else do we have? Oh, these are just some other sketches, but Yeah, let's just do another sketch in this book, continue the exploration. Let me know where you're watching from and let me know how is your day, how is your week going? Are you ready for the weekend? I know I am. All right, I'm going to be sketching with a Sharpie and maybe I'll break out some color as well. We'll see how it goes. I'm actually going to turn— uh, we'll do it this way. I was going to orient it horizontally, but that's so I could fit more of the landscape. I'm going to just focus kind of on the lighthouse and a little bit of kind of the outcropping it's on. Let me take my watch off. All right, cool. All right, so the lighthouse is going to be somewhere, somewhere up in here. As I'm getting ready to sketch, in my brain I'm kind of mentally thinking where I want the main subject to be. You'll often see my hand kind of just dancing around the page. I'm not even putting any marks down, just trying to get a feel of where I want things to go. I sketch loose, wonky sometimes really quick, and I'm not looking for perfection. For me, the fun is throwing down line works, having fun, and just creating kind of on the go. All right, let's do this. Feel free to ask me any questions in the chat. I'll be checking in. Um, yeah, that'd be great. When I sketch lighthouses, I usually like to start with kind of this piece here. This— where I'm sketching now is where the actual light is in here. Here's the roof line of the structure. Actually, I think this might be curved, so I think it's more of a bell curve kind of shape on there. So you may have noticed what I just did. I, I kind of— I'll exaggerate and show you over here. So I kind of sketch the roof like this, a triangle. Let me zoom in so you guys can see closer. Let's do, um, there you go, that's better. And then I'm like, no, it's a different shape. I literally just went over my lines there and I just kind of crafted the shape I was looking for. So you'll notice in my sketches I have a lot of things like that happening where I'm sketching lines over lines, and I like doing that. For me, it just kind of adds to the story of of how this was created. Again, I'm not looking for perfection, I'm just looking for fun and capturing the spirit of a place, sometimes the overall shape of buildings. And that's— I think that's all I need to show for the kind of outcropping it's on. We have a little bit of the Lake Keeper's house there. I could continue on the next page if I wanted. Right, just bring it over. Don't ever be afraid to break the page or where the, the binding is. You could always continue sketches over here and continue if you wanted. Cool. And then I'm just sketching the railing up here. Got another rail kind of happening here, and then we have some stripes going on. So this will be fun to throw some Creative Marker on here. We'll just pull out maybe some of these red stripes. Um, one of the things I'm doing with these stripes— I'll exaggerate it over here— is I want to make the lighthouse look curved and rounded. So I'm contouring, or I'm shaping these lines. I'm curving them so it looks rounded. If I— I'll do an exaggeration kind of here on this side. So there I have a box, and I'm, I'm sculpting or shaping the lines. I'm really exaggerating here so you can see. What I'm doing. So, and then I could do the same thing at the top. Boom. And we could do the same thing down here, and it just helps to create a curved kind of shape. Awesome. And then we got— let's see, we have a flag coming up here, kind of a mast that looks like a cross shape. And then there's a flag waving over here, and then we got some jaggedy rocks down here. When I sketch rocks, I just kind of like to do a single continuous line. I'm not picking the pen up, I'm just— jaggedy lines down here. We have some rocks going on. And then I can come back and fill it in if I want. And we have a rocky beach or something. So there's our basic outline for a quick loose style lighthouse. Let's throw down some color, we'll throw down some hatching lines, we'll make it look more curved. And, uh, yeah, pretty cool. All right, so I'm gonna break out This has red and white on it, so I'm going to break out a— let's see, we have a red Creative Marker and a white one. And let's just throw some color on here, have fun with it. You're going to notice I'm going to be covering over some of those black lines I drew, and that's okay because we can come back and go on top of this. And bring them back to life again. All right, so we got some red happening. I think this is red up here as well. Cool. We have a red roof here. Lots of times I don't use the same colors that I see on the buildings. I like to pick colors based on my— the mood I'm in, the emotions I'm feeling. Kind of a gut feeling. You'll notice that a lot with my New York City sketches, I just use kind of colors that you don't normally see. Um, that's just another way of expressing kind of my style, my creativity. But in this case, we're just going to do the red and white. I like these brush tip Sharpie Creative Markers, um, a lot. So that was an unsponsored comment, and they don't sponsor me, but I just like to talk about the products I love using. And I know you guys always hear me talking about Lockbee. If it's your first time, you will hear me talk a lot about Lockbee. Um, I can't say enough about the company and their products. I love Lockbee. I am a Lockbee ambassador. If you go to their website, use my discount code Jason Nicholas, you can get a discount on, uh, I think it's a 10% discount on Lockbee products. There should be more information on my YouTube page. Um, I could always post it if you're interested. This is also the the new Lockbee Folio that just came out. I did a video on this last week, I think, or 2 weeks ago. Check my YouTube channel out, you can check out my first impression of it. Loving it, loving it, loving it. All right, so we have that happening. We have some black up in there. I'm gonna pull out a black marker. Um, this is bold for me to use red. Would not have used red or any color years, maybe, I don't know, 4 years ago now, I was terrified to put color on my sketches because I thought it had to be perfect. I thought it had to match the real world colors. Um, so I kind of shifted my creative mindset. And well, here's an example. I shifted my creative mindset and said, let me just make these sketches mine. So here's a New York City inspired sketch where we have One World Trade right here. Incredible, beautiful, powerful building. If you haven't been to the World Trade Center, the 9/11 Memorial, it's incredible, powerful place. But the colors I use are totally not the colors that are there, right? So once I kind of got my mindset down to be like, hey, you can use whatever colors you want, I just— I'm just learning to have fun. Even throwing down this sharp or this bold black on here is like— it's huge for me to be able to, to have the courage to do that. So it's coming out really cool. We'll come back. This is going to dry really quickly, another reason I love these markers. They dry quick, great for urban sketching when I'm out in the field. Don't have to wait for watercolor to dry. I do love watercolor, that's what this is, but I, I tend to use watercolor more in the studio and these markers and colored pencils out in the field. Awesome. Let me check the comments, say hello, and we'll come back to this. I see D-Ray's in the house. D-Ray, how are you? Hope you're doing well. It's always, always awesome to see you. Um, thank you for popping on. So cool. If you guys have questions or want to say hello, feel free to put it in the chat. I always love checking in. All right, so my next step here is I'm going to throw down some hatch lines. Hatch lines are nothing more than— I'll do it off to the side here— they could be vertical lines like this They could be diagonal. We could do cross-hatching, which is lines in two different directions. And I like to do hatch lines to help add, um, some, some shading, some shadowing to the sketches, give it some depth. And I'm going to add them here to make this look a little bit rounder. Sorry, my sketchbook keeps drifting to the left. It's great. I don't know, sometimes my mind drifts a little bit, sometimes my sketchbook drifts a little bit. It's okay, just go with the flow. Hey, Deborah's in the house! Deborah, hope you're doing well, great to see you. All right, so here's some of those, those hatch lines. I'm going to start, I'll just do it and then I'll come back and talk about it. Yeah, there we go. Has kind of that bell curve, and we have a piece here It does something. There you go, it looks better. All right, I had to come back. I just wanted to add to that roof. But you can see, here's what I did with those hatch lines. It's helping to give that kind of curved look. So imagine the light is coming from this direction. Boom. Hey, we'll draw an arrow, why not? Boom. So light's coming this way. So as you go towards the right of the tower the lighthouse tower, it's more in shadow. So it's trying to help sculpt it, curve it with those lines on there. Okay, so we had the contour lines, which were these, remember? We actually used the stripes of the lighthouse for the contour lines. Let's see, I'm gonna go back a page. This one here, what I did is I just sketched in really loose contour curved lines. Because this lighthouse— this is Pemaquid Point— this doesn't have stripes on it. It's actually all stonework that's whitewashed. So I didn't have the stripes like here to help with the curves. So really quick shorthand technique for getting the round look on there. Pretty cool, right? Awesome. Let's, um, let's break out some yellow. I just want to pop out where that light is happening. This is where the light is from, from the lighthouse. It's pretty cool. Um, this, this is the West Quoddy Head Lighthouse in Lubec, Maine, built in 1808. I was fortunate enough to— I didn't tour it, but I was— I passed by it when I was on a boat and I took a picture of it, so I'm using my, my reference picture. Of it. I kind of like this. I think I'm going to leave the Lightkeeper's house blank, just hint at it. Um, I love to have sketches where I leave a lot of information off. It helps the viewer to engage their imagination and kind of fill in the blanks. I'm liking the simplicity of this sketch, guys. Um, Maybe we'll throw some growies or something here off this side. Deborah, really nice lighthouse. Thank you, I really appreciate that, Deborah. That's awesome. Thank you for saying that. Very cool. So I'm gonna just— we're gonna show some growies, kind of scribble them here. For me, growies can be flowers, they could be weeds growing up, it could be grasses. Just to soften that edge there a little bit. And the jaggedy rocks, I'm going to throw some hatch lines on these. I may add some more jaggedy stuff here happening. Um, you could even do like contour lines for landscaping. So I'm just trying to shape or sculpt the land here. By adding these contour lines. I'll do an exaggeration on this page for you. Let's just say I have— I'll do it over here. Let's say I have a hill. Maybe we have a hill happening here. So to shape that and sculpt it, we can do contour lines. So these contour lines are just giving a little bit of shape to what I, what I sketched. So that's kind of what I'm going to do down here a little bit. Not, not quite as exaggerated, but we'll just hint at it. Yeah, I, I kind of like this. I don't know if I'm going to add more to it. Let me know what you guys think in the comments. Do you like this? Do you think it's too simple? Should I add more detail? My main goal was just do just a kind of a fast lighthouse sketch and just capture kind of, um, the character of this one here, which I, I feel like I did. I'm actually pretty satisfied with it. Sometimes you think our sketches are architecture sketches, our buildings have to be very, very complicated. Keep it simple, keep it simple. Right, I didn't even sketch the entire Lightkeeper's house. Are there— there are other details here I left out. So don't be afraid just to keep it simple. You know, this is really simple as well. And when I say simple, I mean there's not tons of detail. Even the windows are very simplified, very, very, um almost abstract looking. This, this is one for my imagination, so I was just being whimsical with the stripes and the colors and just having fun with it. Cool. All right, let me know if, um, you're just joining me. I'd love for you to say hi in the chat. If you want me to do another quick sketch, let me know in the comments. Say Sketch more, please. I want to show you something. So I have some really, really amazing students. I'm blessed. Um, here's an example. I didn't ask for this. It was not solicited. My student, he knows I love to sketch, and he, he actually gave— he gave me a sketchbook right here. Um, how cool is this? So this student, he's in my architecture class, and one day in class he brought a sketchbook. I'm like, I love your sketchbook, that is so cool. And the other day he gave one to me, so, so appreciative. Again, unsolicited. Um, a couple things I'll show you inside. I actually laser engraved my logo on here, which is really fun, and I actually laser engraved a sketch I did on the back. Didn't come out as cool as I wanted it to. I could make it darker. I don't know if you can make that out, but I— this is one of my Brooklyn Bridge sketches that I engraved on the back. So I thought that was kind of fun just to play around with the laser engraver. Um, I love this. It reminds me of something like Indiana Jones would carry around with him, so I call it my like Indiana Jones sketchbook. Has a tie that wraps around it. And then you open it up, boom, it's got some cool pages. I, I'm trying to figure out if there's a way I can replace the pages in here. I don't think so. And I did a sketch in here, so here's a sketch I did, uh, actually did the set— did this today of a lighthouse just to test the paper out. Bleeds through a little bit, but I like it. Yeah, D-Ray says wow. Yeah, I was— this is a wow. It's a cool sketchbook. So we'll see. I'll take it around with me. I'll probably leave it in school. It might be my school sketchbook. If anybody knows anything about binding out there and the book binding, do you think it's possible to add pages to this? You know, I could see the stitching in here, and then you can see all the stitching on here. It's, it's so beautiful. I would love to just keep using it over and over again. Don't know the brand, don't— there's no brand name on it anywhere. Um, very cool. Yeah, indie, right? It has an indie feel. Hey Sheila, it's great to see you. Hope all's well. So this is the Indie Sketchbook. I'm really curious to see how this is going to age. I love, I love how my Lockbie field journal has aged. This I've had for, I think, 3 years now. I'm loving the weathering, the aging of it. This, this, you can see it's scratched. It's all character, right? It shows it's well-loved, well-used. Still my favorite go-to everyday carry for sketching. Pretty cool. All right, let's do another quick sketch of a lighthouse. Hope you're doing great tonight. If you're on YouTube, I'd love for you to, uh, say hello. If you like this, give me a thumbs up, please. We'll get more people watching. If you haven't subscribed, please subscribe to YouTube as well. At 927, I would love to make 1,000 subscribers before the end of the month, just because I want to pay it forward with creativity. All right, so, um, this was a lighthouse in Maine. We're just gonna do a random lighthouse from my imagination right now. So let's flip to a new page and sketch. Oh, I was gonna sketch. I always like to start with my Sharpie. Sharpies for me equal commitment, throwing ink down. Believe it or not, it helps me to not worry about mistakes because once a line's down It's there. I'm not worried about racing, and I'm not worried about perfection. It helps me crush what I call blank paper syndrome, just throwing ink down, going for it. All right, let's just do a— I don't know, like I said, from my imagination. You know what, we're gonna do something. I just had a vision in my brain. We're gonna do like a double lighthouse. I don't know why. Why not? I started sketching lighthouses a long, long time ago, probably back in my 20s, um, and I, I would make greeting cards all the time, and on my cards I would have lighthouses. Um, I've always connected with this type of utilitarian structure. I've— I feel like they're just beautiful, functional. They have meanings of, you know, symbolism, beacons of hope. I really resonate with them. They're in beautiful and sometimes treacherous locations. So we're just gonna do something fun, make up our own kind of shape here. You know what, I'm gonna do another, maybe a shorter, wider one. Why not? Would this happen in the real world? Probably not. But you know what, this is, this is not the real world. This is my, my world, my brain. We can do what we want, right? There we go. So we're just going wonky, we're going whimsical, just being playful. All right, I think I have enough lines now. Let's throw some color on it. Actually, let's do a round. Yeah, like that. I spoke too soon. I want to throw down some more. Maybe we have a porch here, maybe some steps coming down. How cool would it be to convert a lighthouse into a house to live in? I know it's been done. I've seen videos. I think it would be really amazing to have an art studio in an old lighthouse. It's fun to dream. All right, cool. All right, so we got a wonky whimsical lighthouse happening there. We're gonna break out some more creative markers, maybe we'll break out some color pencils here. All right, feel free to say hi, leave me questions, comments. I'll definitely check the chat in a couple minutes. Um, my favorite Creative Color marker is this one here. It's also probably my favorite watercolor color. It's my favorite colored pencil color, kind of this aqua color. Let's take a look at the marker and the pencil. We'll see how they both look on here. Actually, can I zoom closer? Let me see. Um, actually, we'll, we'll stay here. I love how this blue pops on this kraft paper. I mean, so I'm just going to do kind of the roofs or maybe have a bluish color. Um, here's the cap. Let's put the cap on it just for fun. I want to test this, the color pencil, see what it looks like. I'm actually going to just do it off this side here. So the color pencil is almost as vibrant as the marker. All right, we're getting really crazy, guys. I'm, I'm just going hog Hog wild, is that an expression? I'm gonna throw down orange. I'm just feeling really fun right now. I'm just looking for yellow. Uh-oh. Oh, here it is. So just like the other lighthouse we sketched I'm gonna— I'll come back and throw some contour lines on here and some hatching lines so we make it look even curved, more curved. Maybe we have some white columns here, maybe a white beam across there to pull out that kind of porch happening, leaving a lot of the paper showing through. I don't want to cover it all. That helps keep it loose and, and Um, I was gonna say wonky looking, but definitely loose. All right, cool. Let me just throw down some hatch lines. We'll add a little bit of shadow on here. Let me check in chat and see how you guys are doing out there. Hope you're having a great, great Friday. Hey, Janice! Janice is in the house. Janice, how are you? Hope you're well. Long time no see. Hope you're having a great day. I'll be headed to NYC, um, not this Saturday but next Saturday. I'll be sketching over at the Domino, uh, over at Domino Park. I'm so excited, that's going to be a fun, fun place. Domino Sugar Factory is one of my most favorite buildings, so cool. I'm gonna throw this out there to everybody, anybody that's out there right now, if you are interested, I can do— maybe I could auction off like a couple of pieces or a couple of sketches tonight. Let me know. I'll put some out there for auction, see if anybody's interested. Jody, great to see you. Hey Jody, thank you for signing up for the workshop. I saw that you signed up. Hopefully I answered your question or questions. Um, I'm excited that you're going to be joining us. So what I'm doing tonight is kind of a really short version of what we'll be doing in the workshop. I'll be slowing it down and explaining things more in more detail. Um, yeah, if anybody's interested in my Lighthouse Sketching Lab workshop on April 5th, I have a link in the chat, also on the screen, and there's a QR code. Love for you to sign up. It's $47 for a 2-hour workshop with me and a bunch of other awesome creative people who will be, uh, be part of the group out there. Um, be doing some exercises, and I'll walk you through how walk you through this process in a more orderly fashion. I don't know if that's the word, but yeah, um, pen, paper, pencil, you're good to go. If you want to add color, you can, like I'm doing tonight. And it's for, you know, intermediates, beginners, anybody that's interested in sketching. No experience necessary. All right, cool. Let's, um, throw down some of those hatch lines. So here we go. Ready? I'm going to start with this building. I'm going to play around with my zoom here so I can get closer for you guys. All right, there we go. So we have some, some hatch lines. These aren't contour lines, these are hatch lines. I'm gonna do some here on the steps just to make it look vertical so it looks like the steps are rising up a little bit. We're kind of seeing them straight on. Their steps are really not in a perspective. Um, I actually have— I actually have kind of a trick happening on this sketch. And here's, here's what I mean. Uh, so this is not really a perspective sketch. I'm kind of combining a flat straight-on view with a little bit of perspective with the shadows, right? It's not a perspective. I'm not doing this. Uh, let me just draw over here just a quick kind of a perspective of a house, right? So that's kind of a 3D perspective view. I'm taking this lighthouse, I'm looking straight at it, but just giving the illusion that there's a little bit of depth with these kind of hatch line shadows. So it's a good kind of trick, uh, because when people hear the word perspective, it's like, it's kind of scary. So in the workshop, I will be talking a little bit about some shortcuts to how I like to make perspectives. All right, this is looking cool. I like it. I'm going to pull out the black Creative Marker. I want to pull out some of these shapes more. So you can see how I'm bolding this to pull it out. I'm going to pull out these stripes a little bit. Oh, I am not— I am not cray cray about that. That's better. That works better. Cool. I think the lines were a little too bold there. I should have used this Sharpie marker here. Let's throw a window on this one. Here's a cool window trick. I'm not going to draw the whole window. What? Is that kid crazy? I'm, I'm crazy. I, I'm going to hint that there's a window happening here. What color should we do the flags? I haven't used this tonight. Let's use my, uh, one of my fave colors that I bring into my whimsical style sketches. It's kind of my— kind of a signature color I like to pop in. So we got our It's kind of a cast— kind of a castle lighthouse, actually, with the flags. It has a castle vibe to it. I'm using neon pink colored pencil here just to make it more whimsical feeling and playful. I want to pull this— put more shading here. I want this to be like a porch that has a recessed door maybe happening. Let's throw some growies around the base of the building. I like to do grasses and flowers and weeds kind of in front of buildings. It helps anchor the bottom— sorry, kind of anchors the bottom or base of the building, the foundation, to the ground a little bit. And we're gonna bring our contour lines here. Cool. All right, that is our loose style, whimsical, wonky lighthouse. Uh, Jody says looking forward to the class. Awesome, that's great. I'm excited. Thank you again, it'll be fun. Right now I think we have 10 people. I'm trying to remember. I think 10 people have signed up, so it'll be cool. Um, let me know if you have any questions about the workshop. Feel free to email me. Um, if you didn't, you should be getting the Zoom link and all that stuff. Cool. All right guys, I'm going to wrap up in a minute or two. Let me know if there's any final questions, thoughts, or comments. Hey Nathaniel, welcome to YouTube! Looks nice. Thank you so much, I appreciate that. Um, yeah, thanks for watching on YouTube. If you're enjoying this, I would love for you to give me a thumbs up and subscribe. That would be so cool if you haven't done that. All right, let's take a look back to what we sketched first tonight. So we started off right here. Um, I really love how this came out. I think it's really just very fun and playful. So this is the West Quoddy Head Lighthouse in, uh, Lubeck, Maine. This— that inspired this, uh, this sketch tonight. And then this was just from my imagination. So maybe I was talking about it'd be cool to live in a lighthouse, so maybe this is my lighthouse, my Lighthouse House sketch. That makes sense. Let's put a person on here so we can see the scale. Let's sketch a little person here. Let's say there's someone standing down here. Maybe they're like somewhere here. We got a person down there and Actually, I'm going to add some color so they pop out more. Maybe got another person over here, maybe a couple people hanging out, maybe a little kid down here. Uh, let's pop them out with the, the aqua color. I assume we have some people kind of hanging out there. Nathaniel says, sure, I got you. Thanks, man, I appreciate that. That's so cool. Awesome. Thank you. D-Ray says, wrapping up. D-Ray, on average, how long would you say it takes me to actually finish a show when I say I'm wrapping up? Is it a minute, 2 minutes, 20 minutes? I know I always drag on. It's because I am having so much fun. This— we all have our things we love doing, right? This is my thing. This puts me in my zone. It helps me change my state of mind. It helps me to express my creativity, um, helps me be the architect, right? I'm an architect by trade, so I get to be playful architect when I do this stuff and, um, be expressive. Helps me to connect to amazing, amazing people like you guys out there. This— the power of a pen and a piece of paper is limitless. Anything from ideas to writing a shopping list to writing a letter, a poem, to sketching. For me, that is true freedom. I could— give me a paper, give me some paper and a pen, and I'm good to go. And maybe a slice of pizza, which I, which I'm not allowed to eat currently for health reasons, but one day we'll be back to pizza land. Um, Patience. All right, you guys are awesome. I'm going to wrap up. If you have any questions, feel free to pop them in. If you're watching the live stream or the replay, I like to check in sometimes. I love your comments, your feedback, and support. Again, if anybody is interested, please check out the Lighthouse Sketching Lab workshop information you see on screen. Love to have more people sign up for it. It'll be on Zoom. And it'll be a fun time. All right guys, I'll be back sketching tomorrow. Thank you again. Have an amazing and inkspirational day and keep using your creativity for positivity. We definitely need more positivity out there in the world. And whether your form of expression is sketching or cooking, baking, exercising, dancing, sewing, I don't care what it is. Use it for positive reasons, guys. Take care, see you real soon. Ciao. Yeah, I just said ciao, right? Because I said pizza and ciao, they kind of go together. See you guys. Yes, D-Ray's like pizza. The Daniel's like, see you in pizza land. Oh yeah, I am hungry now. On that note, take care. Peace out.
