Spring diary walkthrough

Hey y’all,

I just finished up my spring (and some of summer) diary, so I thought I’d film another page-by-page tour. It’s about 15 minutes long. It’ll look best if you make it full screen. Feel free to scrub and pause the video and mute my dumb commentary and play some Fela Kuti over it or something. (It is my diary, of course, so I had to censor some pages using sticky notes and paper clips.)

Finished another diary

If you’re a regular reader, some of these pages might look familiar — a lot these Tuesday missives are inspired directly by something I see flipping back through my diary.

Here are a few related links of interest from the archives:

• One-page diary exercises

• How I make my color brush pens

• How I make mind maps

• The collage I call “the simplest cut”

• Collage problems

• More about my COVID diaries

• More about Saul Steinberg

• My winter diary walkthrough

And here’s a shopping list of all the gear I use.
