Sketch Fearless: Loose Lines & Architecture : 2026-05-10

In this 60‑minute YouTube live‑stream, artist Jason Nicholas (The Inkspired Life) uses a casual, conversational tone to sketch imagined architectural scenes while interacting with his chat community. He opens with a Mother’s Day tribute, sharing heartfelt memories of his late mother and how her creativity influences his own work. He references a recent visit to Barcelona’s Sagrada Familia, describing how architecture fuels his imagination. Throughout the stream he demonstrates a free‑form sketching process—starting with loose ink lines, adding color with creative markers (red, yellow, turquoise, dark blue), and experimenting with perspective and composition. Jason discusses practical matters such as his new DJI Pocket 3 camera, Nightbot moderation quirks, and a personal health anecdote about removing ticks during a recent walk, linking it to a humorous “Tick” superhero persona. He announces upcoming workshops (a Zoom class in August, a Brooklyn Stationery Fest workshop), invites viewers to join, and encourages community participation (shout‑outs to chat members, polls, and a request for moderator roles). The stream blends artistic instruction, personal storytelling, community building, and motivational reflections on using sketching as a tool for mindset shifts, creativity, and human connection. He closes with a call to action to reach out to loved ones, a reminder to subscribe, and a hopeful sign‑off.

Hey, um, it's Sunday, May 10th, 2026. Hope you're having an awesome day, and happy Mother's Day to all those amazing moms out there who care, love, take care of, inspire, motivate and just work really hard for us all. So shout out to all the moms out there. Happy Mother's Day! Hope you're having a wonderful day. And, um, I'm on here for it live for a few minutes, so let's talk and sketch. If you don't know who I am, my name is Jason Nicholas Nicholas of The Inkspired Life. I love sketching, especially architecture. There's just something about the built world that fascinates me. Um, I feel like buildings are transformational. Yeah, example is when I just recently went to Barcelona and got to experience the, um, the Sagrada Familia Basilica. Oh my gosh, go back in my YouTube a couple days ago and check it out. I talked more about it. I did a quick sketch, but yeah, just building, just— it was an experience. It was amazing. But I love sketching because sketching is a great way for me to capture time, energy, a vibe. It's a great way for me to transform my state of being, brainstorming. It just— it's just a great tool in my tool bag of life. So we all have these tools that we go to, these things that we do that motivate us, inspire us. Calm us down, change our state of being, and just are fun, right? So Mind Sketching, thanks for joining. Hey, let's hang out for a little bit. I have nothing planned. I usually don't plan what I'm going to sketch, but I definitely have nothing planned today. I'm just on— I need to come on before I go to bed. I'm using sketching today as a way of just changing my, my mindset. So if you're watching, say hello. It's always great to see you guys. Let's put some music on, do some sketching. And I think I'm just gonna put the music on, let the pen go where it goes, and I am not trying to create anything, not even architecture. I'm just gonna throw lines on paper, and, um, why the heck not, right? I'm good to do it. All right. Cool. All right, just want to put some music on. All right guys, let's just— like I said, I'm just— no goals here. I'm just throwing down ink on paper and let's do it. I may even break out some other things that are here. We'll see. Close enough. I think we're zoomed in good enough.
I'm rising, falling, realizing I'm changing. Still fighting, still learning, still trying. No script, no plan, no perfect version. This is simply being human. This is simply being human. All the moments that left me torn made me someone worth fighting for. I'm stumbling, I'm rising, falling, realizing I'm changing. Still fighting, still learning, still trying. No script, no plan, no perfect version. This is simply This is simply being human. I'm not here to be flawless. I'm not here to pretend. I'm here to keep moving again and again. I'm here to keep choosing a life I can Still fighting, still learning, still trying. No script, no plan, no perfect version. This is simply being human. This is simply being human.
Hey, Edie's in the house! Edie, good to see you. I hope you're having a great day today. Always nice to have you join us in the chat, so thank you. It's always good seeing you. I appreciate your time. So I am just sketching from my imagination, throwing down lines. Um, I, I saw like a castle or something happening in the background here, so I don't know where this is. I don't know, where do you think this could be? Let me know in the chat. Throw down some color on this, I think. Alright, let's throw down some color. Um, what do I want to do? Alright, let's break out some Creative Markers. Of course, of course. Um, I want red, red, red, red. I know I got red in this one. I sure do. I got a couple of reds in here. I need to keep a list here of purple. I need to get purple and some more aqua and stock up for the workshop in August. Yay, ikikayo! I'm gonna make a little list while I'm here. Um, purple, turquoise, CM, CM, boom, boom. I'm trying to be— or trying to be organized with a list, you know what I'm saying? Um, yeah. Are you— do you— are you like me? Do you have, um, like scattered lists? I used to have a lot of scattered lists everywhere. Now I just have less lists, um, but they're still kind of scattered, some online, some on paper. It is so hard for me to find a system That works, um, but I'm working on it. Hey, is that GGNYC? Good to see you. Oh, GG, yes, finally we are live. I saw, you know what, I got a— well, I'll show you guys. We'll do a quick show and tell. Let me do— let me grab something behind me. This, this This ties into what you're— to Gigi's comment. So Gigi saw that I scheduled a live stream for earlier today, but, um, that was an accident because I was messing around. I, I got myself a new camera for walking and talking. I got a DJI Pocket 3. Um, this is gonna be great for my walks and talks. I don't think so great for live streaming. I gotta talk to, um, my friend who does this all every single day of his life, pretty much. But I got the camera and I was messing around trying to figure out how to livestream from it, and it set up like these times that I was gonna livestream today. So GG, shout out for being a trooper. And I noticed— I saw that you saw that earlier today. You're awesome. I appreciate you, uh, commenting on one. I didn't realize it had happened till later in the day. I love this. I'm just imagining like this red awning here, kind of awning hanging over some kind of windows. Maybe it's an old kind of shop or something. So hope you guys are having a great day. Um, and I started the show off with a shout out to all the moms in the world. All the moms that care, share, love, inspire, encourage, work hard. Um, you know, just shout out to all of those amazing, um, moms out there. Um, good, good stuff. I know I miss my mom terribly. She passed away unexpectedly Oh gosh, 16, 17 years ago, maybe, maybe. I don't know. She was only, I think, 57. I'm not gonna get into the story because it's really sad, but I mean, it was just unexpected and there was no suffering. That's the only blessing about it. But yeah, I just think of her a lot, of course, on Mother's Day. She has encouraged me, inspired me. She still does to this day. She was a kind of person, she always put others before herself. She took care of elderly people. She cleaned homes. She was really, had a really great sense of humor. So I feel like I have a lot of those traits, um, from her, and I'm grateful. Oh, let's pop this out. I'm just, I'm just, you know me, guys, I'm just grabbing and going tonight with different colors. Yeah, we're gonna use yellow, yellow and red, why not? I just want this building to pop out in the foreground, so I thought yellow would bring it out a little bit here. There we go. See, that yellow is just kind of popping the shape out in the foreground. So I'm imagining this is some kind of a shop or store here. Maybe I'll put some stuff in the window, maybe some veggies or something. And there's a path that maybe leads to a— an old castle in the distance. Um, yeah, I believe she was 57. She was, um, she was, she was cooking. I believe she was cooking meatballs. So my mom's side of the family was Italian. Um, she was cooking meatballs and I wasn't living at home, but she collapsed. She had an aneurysm and she just collapsed while she was, um, making meatballs, which she made really— she was a really good cook and especially a great baker. But yeah, no pain, that's the blessing of the story. Um, no, was she an artist? You know what, she was an extremely creative being. She Her gifts were baking. She used to make the most amazing cream puffs in the world. People always loved them, wanted them, wanted her recipe. If I could master that recipe, I could probably start a company selling them. Uh, yes, and she was kind of an artist but not professional. She would, um, take pieces of slate and then paint on them. So I remember she would paint, you know, these kind of very simple, uh, remember building— I think she painted a barn on one of them. I wish I had it. But yeah, so, but she was just a very creative nature, by nature. So really a good question. Love it, love it. Um, I'm gonna do Gigi's technique, but Gigi, thank you for the other day. You inspired kind of doing the backgrounds on these. The sky. I'm gonna do it on here, but I'm not gonna do the turquoise. I'm gonna do— I want to do a dark blue. Hope you guys can see this. I'm going to zoom in. Yeah, and if you guys watched the live stream where I showed you my City of Angels painting, that was— that was inspired Um, oh, this is the one that's really— this is a really juicy blue. I got to be careful, don't get it all over me. Um, she was my mom's one that inspired that City of Angels painting, and, uh, I, I truly believe, and I kind of related the story, that I did not paint that. I— something took over, took control. I know this sounds a little creepy, maybe not creepy, that's not the right word, but supernatural maybe. Um, I am not exaggerating. So it was not me that did that painting. It was a really interesting experience, and I, I believe it was her because I was not in my creative state of mind. I was staying away from sketching, and it was just a really rough time. And then I think that was my sign of permission and a nudge forward to move, to keep moving forward with what I love to do, and that's being creative. So think about in your life, did you ever have a moment in your life where there was a sign or a signal or something kind of guiding you that you didn't expect. Yeah, I think that was one of those signs for me.
Cool.
All right, here's that dark blue sky. Ta-da! You can see the spires poking out. We're going very primary on this— red, yellow. We'll call this— I don't know what we're gonna call this one, but it's fun. We're just having fun tonight, guys. Bakery shop, that'd be so cool. Seriously, her— I'm not even kidding— it could— her recipe could definitely have been marketed and sold. No, no question about it. Anybody out there listening that knows me, if you're ghosting or ninja watching, that's cool, but you, you know, uh, you know what I'm talking about. Good stuff. So one of the things I try to do in life is I try to learn something from everybody I encounter, take something away. Even people I don't care about or care for or rude to me, I try to take something away from the experience, a learning lesson. And, um, that's what I'm taking— took away from that experience is more than a learning lesson, life lessons on how to be a human being. Because I believe she was the ultimate human being. Let's just keep sketching on this one, guys, and maybe we'll jump to— I do want to do, um, I think I want to do a couple abstract New York City backgrounds. I have to get some more queued up so I can do— go back to filling out our New York City sketchbook. So we'll see what time it is. Lately I've been starting too late to work on those, but I really want to work on them because I am gonna do a workshop. Well, I'm not gonna do those— I'm not gonna do these kinds of drawings for the, the Stationery Fest workshop in Brooklyn. That's gonna be more just my regular architectural sketching, but I want to do a workshop on these kinds of sketches, and I think it's going to be a Zoom. So if anybody's interested, let me know. Be cool, it'd be a workshop, a couple hours, maybe 2 hours online. Um, it will be a small fee to attend it, but for anybody that is a regular watcher, I more than happy to offer a discount for you guys just to join in. No experience necessary. I'd love for you guys to think about it. It'd be cool to have you in a workshop. We usually do them like on the Zoom. Um, I encourage you to show your sketches. You don't have to, but again, this is for, for beginners, for any level. It's really just a positive community to share, care, get feedback from each other, and most of the time we end up talking about food. So any of my Inklings out there, if Linda's on or DB or Becky, you guys know what I'm talking about. All right, let's throw on some more color. And then actually, yeah, what do I want with color? Let's throw some turquoise on here. All right, I'm thinking too much about what colors I'm throwing down. I just want to grab and go, grab and go. Oops.
What to say. He stands tall, shakes the dust of the judgment away. The hammer's in his heart, the hammer's in his mind. Smashes that down, leaves the rules behind. It's about voices.
All right, again, so we're just abstracting, guys, just throwing down some colors, having fun. Totally imaginary place. I just had to get on tonight, do some sketching, get my— change my brain a little bit, um, my mindset a little bit before going to bed. Uh, this weekend flew the heck by. Unfortunately, there's so much stuff I still need to do that I didn't do. Dang it, I hate when that happens. It's all right, we'll make it through. Timmy is in the house. Hey Tim, what's up? Did I just call you Timmy? Oh boy, I don't know why I did that, but what's up Tim? Good to see you, man. Ah, so I thought you throw a little bit of greenery in here, maybe. Tim says, uh, you work so late. Hey, no worries, Tim, it's all good. You're all good. It's all good, man. I hope life is good at the pizza shop, dude. Oh, I saw pink. Let's use some pink, pink, pink, pink. Is it pink or purple? I think it's pink, right? Hope you all have had amazing— an amazing weekend, or did something fun. Maybe you got something done that's been on a to-do list, maybe made some kind of progress, or maybe you just needed to chill out and relax. Hope you did that too. I hope the weekend was Was a good one for you guys. What, did he just make a pink arch? He did. What the— what is this guy doing? What is this crazy man doing here? What? He's throwing down pink arches and he's got orange and turquoise next to each other. What is this guy doing? He's crazy. That's what some people say when they look at other people's artwork. They just judge, judge, judge, and that's okay. We all can have opinions. You know what? I'm having fun. And that is what matters. And I am pointing at the camera for dramatic effect. Is it working? The Barista Who Knows Too Much, that's the song. And there's a tick on me, guys. You want to see a tick? Here you go, look. There is a tick right there. This is number, um, 16 that I'm about to pull off. Unbelievable. All right, got it. That is crazy. There you go, that was the tick cam. Hope you enjoyed the tick cam. Unbelievable. Seriously, I think it was number 16 in the past 2 weeks I've pulled off of me. Crazy. And I checked myself after the, uh, walk today. Wow, the tick cam. That was crazy. It was worth tuning in just for that, guys, wasn't it? Now I'm paranoid. Now I'm like looking for any more ticks anywhere. Well, at least I've— at least I pulled it off before it made a new home. I have two that, um, I think found a new home in my leg, or at least half of them did. Could be why I'm so tired. This is kind of cool. I'm liking this one, guys. All right, got 5 more minutes. I'm going to wrap up. What is going on with all these ticks? I, I haven't read any news articles or looked into it, but I, I do believe this is the worst tick season here in at least northern New Jersey. Um, it's, I love walking every day outside. I love it. I live for it. But it's making me think twice about walking now in the park where you guys see me walking or, you know, filming from. Well, even like my backyard, even just cutting the grass. I mean, they're— and I wear long pants. I wear— actually wore a jacket today. I mean, I'm covering up and they're still finding their way. It's insane. All right, I want a color to pop this roof edge out.
What is—
what am I gonna do? You know, he's gonna go for the red. I really want to pop this out a little bit here. Now it's starting to look like a McDonald's. Oops, I think this marker's gone. That one, that marker's toast. Let me try this color. I like this color. You don't feel them? Um, well, I felt them. I felt the one crawling on me. I could— I can feel them crawling on me, but not all the time. Hence the ones that made a new home. I don't feel them now. No, I mean, yeah, last, last year I had a I had a tick, not even kidding. Um, it buried— it dug its way— it's kind of gross, but it dug its way in my stomach. Like, it— yeah, it tunneled into my stomach. It was— and it did not— I did not get it out, let's just say that. But I'm alive, I'm good, I'm healthy. I just, you know I have these weird superpowers now, and I'm pretty— I like to leap across buildings and, um, yell random expressions like "spoon," um, turning kind of blue. I have a sidekick named Arthur. Yeah. That's from the, uh, I don't know if you guys know the superhero The Tick. I love The Tick, so I am turning into that superhero, The Tick. All right guys, a few more minutes, we're gonna wrap this up. Let me know if you have any questions or comments before we say bye-bye for the night. I love that you guys are tuning in and chilling with me, always a fun time. Thank you for listening to my stories and being creeped out by critters crawling on me. I hope it was a nice live stream tonight and you enjoyed some chat. Maybe you're at home. Well, you are at home. I'm assuming you're at home. Maybe you're watching Seinfeld and you have me on in the background. Maybe you're reading a book. Maybe you're trying to fall asleep and you said, that, that Nick guy, that Nick guy over there, he's, he puts me to sleep. I need to listen to him. And that's okay. I'm here to serve in however way I can to help you in your day, in your journey, bring a little bit of positivity, inspire some creativity, and more importantly, inspire some humanity back into the globe that is a dream of mine to spread positivity through creativity. If I could have a superpower— well, I don't know if that would be it, but that would be a superpower to have. My other one would be to stop or control time. I wish if I had a superpower, I would be able to control time. I feel like time is my greatest enemy. Isn't that weird? It just goes too fast when I don't want it to, and it goes too slow when I want it to go faster. Sometimes I just want to pause time, go back in time, travel into the future. Yeah, how cool would that be? All right guys, what do you think of this cool little, um, random act of sittiness? It's kind of cool, right? You know, if you have any final questions or comments as we wrap up. Oh, GG said you never had them on you. Um, so yeah, so you can definitely feel them. Well, especially if you have like hairy arms. So I could definitely feel it walking on my arm. Um, I can feel them on my leg. So the most common place I've been finding them are two places. One, uh, on my leg by the thigh area, and also— oh, you can't see me pointing, but maybe you can— on the back of my neck here I found them. And I'm thinking the back of the neck because it's definitely like an exposed area when I'm walking. Um, even if I have a hat on, right, it's still exposed back here. But I don't I have not been wearing shorts. I've been wearing long pants purposely, and they still wind up inside somehow, some way. Is this based on a real place? No, this is a— this is a place in Mi Cabeza. Is una— let me try in Spanish. Una locación in Mi cabeza. I don't know if I said that right. Feel free to correct me. Una— how do you say place in Spanish? Location? That sounds French. No, so Tim, this is totally from my imagination. Um, what I did to start this is— so lots of time, even this, like, I'll start a lot of sketches the same way, these one-point perspectives. So take a look at that. Take a look at that. This is— this one was really wacky. What was I thinking that night? Um, what was I— what was the kid thinking? This same— this started the same way. These are all starting as a one-point perspective. And what's really— here's another one. I love this one, by the way. This is— this is based on a real place in Barcelona, but they're all starting as the same one-point perspective, loosey-goosey box and point that I, I make this one too. So what I love— oh, I don't really like these. Um, what I, what I love is that from the same framework, I am able to create an infinite amount of ideas, drawings, perspectives, cityscapes, streetscapes, Um, what I'm looking for is not back there. Some of my New York City inspired Christmas tree sketches have started that way as well. So I want to pull this building out and then we're going to wrap. I think I'm going to do a nice heavy— watch this, guys, this is something I rarely will break out. I'm going to break out the black creative marker here because I want a nice thick black line on here. I'm gonna pull this building out in the foreground. Oh, GG, GG, thank you for— I love when you fill in with— you help me out here. Um, so una ubicación en mi cabeza, una ubicación. Ubicación en mi cabeza. Hopefully this is right. Um, Christmas market vibes, I like that. Yeah, I like this. I think my favorite part of this is kind of this greenery just kind of spilling out onto the street and up the wall. I love that. Scuba diving suit next time. Yes. Next time we sketch, I will be doing the Jacques Cousteau. We will be doing the Jacques Cousteau edition of the sketch session. With my scuba gear, we will dive to the depths below the ocean. With our waterproof pen and paper, we'll be going down to the depths of where the seals or the eels live, swim, breathe, and eat. We'll be sketching amongst the whales and the tigerfish. And if we're lucky, while we're down there sketching, we will come upon the— and find the lost Nemo. We will find the lost Nemo. So join me next time on the Underworld Exploratory version and edition of The Inspired Life. All right, I must be tired. We just did a whole weird Jacques Cousteau-inspired sketching thing because of a scuba suit. Comment: see that black line, how I just pulled that edge out? Oh, I don't know, I'll have to add that to my vocab list. Yes, add it to your vocab list. Yes, and I want to do one more thing to pull out the building up here, and you'll see right now. I don't know, is that— is that even— doesn't even sound French. Oh, tick check. I need to put the tick cam on. You guys want me to put the tick cam on? You can see if ticks are climbing on my body. Let me know if you want to see the tick cam. I want to pull this edge out, guys, and we're gonna wrap. I have one idea for this. All right, I'm gonna use white on here and we're gonna wrap. I hope everybody's looking forward to this week coming up. I have a really busy week. I'm very excited. I'll be going to a— I was honored to be invited to the top 20 dinner at school. So it's for seniors that are finishing in the top 20 of their class with their class rankings, and I had a student invite me as his guest. So I am very, very honored. That's going to be a fun thing. And another cool thing is, um, our spring concert is at the high school. I don't play an instrument, but the, uh, the band director teacher, he is having teachers and faculty admin that wanted to join and play something, they're doing it. So I am playing the crash cymbals in one song, and let me tell you I went to one rehearsal and I have no idea what I'm doing, but it's going to be fun to get up there and just hang out with the kids and just play a song during the spring concert. So it's going to be a fun, busy week. See what I did? I just wanted to pull that out, edge out a little bit more. So sometimes a light color against the dark can help you do that. So now you can see this edge kind of in this edge here. I really like this sketch, guys. This is fun. All right, all right, please put in the comments yes or no to the following question. This will be the last question of the night. Yes or no, should I continue to do the underwater Jacques Cousteau-inspired voice during live streams? Do I get a solid yes or a solid no way, José? Let me know. And we're gonna throw some more red on here, and because I want to, I want to pop these out. Kind of checkerboard pattern. I goofed it up a little bit because I missed some here, but that's okay. Oh, it's an easy fix actually. I can do this. I'm not going to fix it. It is what it is. If you don't like it, too bad. Last thing, last thing, I wanted to put some veggies in the window here. Or flowers. Maybe it's a flower shop, I don't know. I want to do like some flowers there in that window. That's great, Tim. Congratulations, that's awesome. Very, very cool. Very, very cool. What, what did the Nightbot— what did Nightbot do? Let me look. What an interest— wait, did Nightbot just comment and say, what an interesting hypothesis, stop spamming caps, warning? What the heck? I am so sorry, I don't even know what is this. This Nightbot's got to Sorry, Nightbot, I'll behave. Did it really have all caps? Just delivered. Stop spamming caps. Warning. @edie, just delivered. Yeah, I gotta fix Nightbot settings. Apparently Nightbot has an attitude. That's just random. I mean, I have— I don't know what the heck it's doing. I have no idea. That is so weird. Nightbot, you are being— Nightbot's being silly. Nightbot is being silly. Sorry about that, guys. I don't even know. I gotta, I gotta do a little reading about that one. Maybe I'll just shut Nightbot down. I was doing it. I put Nightbot on there to help promote some of the stuff I'm doing, but Nightbot is being a pain in the behind. Oh dang, I didn't realize, right? Oh man, Nightbot is— Nightbot is crazy. I thought I was crazy. Why didn't Nightbot spam me and tell me to stop talking like Jacques Cousteau? Come on, Nightbot, you should be telling me to stop Jacques Cousteau-ing. I'm going to re-block Nightbot. I wonder, uh, Edie, do you want me to make— do you want me to make you a, uh— oh my God, I'm so tired. What do you call that? Moderator? Maybe if I make you a moderator, you can do that, have some Nightbot say. Let me know if you want to be a mod, that'd be cool. Or one of you guys, let me know. All right guys, I think that's it for this one. I, I like it. I think it's done. It's different, has a lot of color, took me to a cool place in my imagination. I'm looking for the stuff I just put away cuz I want to do some— yeah. I hope you are going to have an amazing Monday. I think I see Dunkin' in my future tomorrow morning, and I see a busy week ahead, which is okay. And let's put a frame around it. Here we go, let's check it out framed, and then we'll say goodbye. He just reported Nightbot for harassment. Oh my gosh, let's all block Nightbot. You guys can really block— you guys can block Nightbot? I didn't know that was a thing. Check this out, framed, guys. Wow, this looks really cool with a black frame around it. Look at this. What do you think? I want to show some of that orange. Yeah, let's do that. I don't even care if the castle is cut off. Now let's see. No, I like the castle showing more in the back. Uh, I think I like that. Check that out. Does that look cool? If we unite a Timber, we can form one big robot. Like, uh, Power Rangers, Voltron. Like, you guys know Voltron? I remember Voltron watching that as a kid, the cartoon. It's like Voltron. Hey, it looks great framed. Thank you. Maybe I should put a frame around me so I can look great. Um, there you go. Yeah, hold it up close. Pretty cool, right? That looks really fun. Framed. I likey likey. We'll put the bigger big one around it. Yeah, this one is super big. No, ain't, ain't going to cut it. That's not going to cut it. Do a frame in the frame. No, I'm just kidding. Now I'm just losing my mind. Do a frame inside a frame. That is not going to happen. All right, hey guys, you're awesome. Uh, keep your eyes open, I'm working on redoing my website because the other one is super, super slow. Including the gallery pages with original sketches for purchase. So they worked on that a lot today. Um, workshops coming up this summer, I'd love for you guys to join. That would be so cool. What else is going on? That big workshop, uh, in Brooklyn on August 1st. I'm so excited. I'm actually really nervous too. Um, but that would be fun. And yeah, remember, if you guys like what you're watching, please hit that thumbs up before you leave.

All right, all right guys, let's see what's going on in chat. I'm gonna wrap up now. Let's get framed. Looks great frame. I am Captain Planet. Captain— I like that superhero name. GG's Captain Planet. You're older than you look. You guys are talking about age. I have no idea. Um, a place we can all daydream. Oh, you're talking about this? This looks like a place you can all daydream. Yeah. Thank you, Jason Nicholas Nicholas. GG, it was great seeing you. Hope you're well. Stay well, my friend. If you do the workshop on a Monday night, I'll buy 2 spots. What? Well then, I'm gonna definitely do it on a Monday night. Heck yeah, sold! You just sold? Yeah, I didn't even tell you the price. All right, Tim, that'd be amazing if you buy 2 spots. I would love to have you in the workshop. Let me know. I'm just open for topics. I am thinking, uh, wonky fishing shacks, or, um, obviously something New York City inspired. I was thinking maybe these, but I don't know. I feel like beginners, uh, beginners would be intimidated. Let me know, beginner guys, gals, people. Um, I don't know if I would do this or not, so let me know. I'm open for ideas for topics. Have a sweet night, everybody. Be careful with them ticks, Spider-Man. No, no, Gigi, I'm not Spider-Man. We all know who Spider-Man is. I am the tick. The tick. Look him up. Look up the tick. He's fun. You're silly. Thank you, Edie, becoming a thousandaire. I like that. Did you make that up, Edie? I am now a thousandaire. Yes, I will take that. Wow, I'm just contemplating. All right, going to the heart cam to wrap up. Heart to heart cam, and then we're out of here. I think I said we're out of here 10 times. Let's do the live cam. Boom! Are we on? We're on. All right guys, um, I like ending with this. I call this the heart to heart cam because I just love being kind of closer to you more personal. Thank you guys so, so much. I really respect and honor and appreciate you and your time, your positivity, your fun in the comments. It's awesome. So thank you for the positive vibes. That's always amazing. And then this week I'm gonna ask you guys— I did a walk and talk today. Well, here Jason Nicholas was kind of the topic. The walk and talk was about basically about taking people for granted. We're all so busy, we're all so wrapped up in our own worlds, our own lives, and that's okay. But sometimes we forget to think about those people that mean something to us, and that's okay. It's part of it's simply being human to forget and take people for granted. But please, maybe this week, put on your calendar, put a timer on your phone, a reminder. Give a— think about one person, reach out to one person, text them, email them, call them, meet with them at a cafe or something. Just tell someone out there that you appreciate them. For being them. Okay, if you can do that, that would be awesome. Um, yeah, and I appreciate all you guys. Until we meet again, sketch boldly, live creatively, and embrace imperfection. Cheers! Oh, here's Retro.
