This is a collection of things that Kitty (the AI PA) created for the day. Starting with questions in the morning and then creating a todo list for me (Daniel) to follow. Suggestions for the day are also created (although I've put them at the end to make the layout better).

At the end of the day Kitty will ask some "END OF DAY QUESTIONS", which aren't included here, and then creates a journal entry, as if was written by me, which then gets written using Kitty's drawing machine into my paper journal.

JOURNAL

Ah, Friday, a bit of a whirlwind of productivity and studio chaos. My day began with intentions to tackle the lingering studio disarray. With the impending arrival of the plan chests on Monday, it was a great opportunity to clear space and start fresh. Not everything has found its place yet, but moving tables and making room for the plan chests felt like a step forward. A bit like moving chess pieces to set up the board for the next big play. Thankfully, my efforts paid off, and the physical reorganisation was rewarding, preparing the ground for next week’s organisational blitz.

The Weeknotes editing session was today's main event. It's something I enjoy, as it's a moment to reflect on the week gone by. It’s like weaving together a narrative of the week’s adventures, even if the editing can sometimes be monotonous. Around lunchtime, I snuck out to meet up with Nixie in town. A quick catch-up over lunch is always a welcome break, especially amidst a day of studio tasks. After some pizza – my little secret indulgence – it was back to business.

The afternoon saw more video editing, bringing me closer to completing the Weeknotes. There's satisfaction in seeing everything come together, even if it involves hours staring at a screen. As the day wound down, I made a point to upload the latest #Weeknotes, a satisfying tick off the to-do list. Wrapping up the working week had me looking forward to the weekend.

Reflecting on today, I was grateful for simple joys. Warm heated blankets became a comforting ritual, especially with the chilly Shrewsbury breeze. Spending time with family, watching films like 'Tremors', added a cosy end to the day. As the sun sets, the weekend awaits with a promise of leisure and maybe a bit more tidying. Ready to embrace whatever Monday brings, prepared with a clearer, clutter-free studio.

SUGGESTIONS

Main Suggestion for the Day

Focus on leveraging your newfound interest in zine making to start a documentation project that interweaves your pen plotter work with photography, ultimately aiming to create a monthly zine or mini art book. This could serve as a personal creative archive and a unique portfolio showcase.

Quick Action Points

  • Research & Planning: Spend at least 30 minutes exploring various art publications or zines for layout and presentation ideas. Review the artist book inspiration mentioned in your morning Q&A to solidify your vision.

  • Prototyping: Use your printer to create a small prototype of a mini zine using your existing artwork photos. Experiment with different scales and text placements to see what might work best.

  • Organization & Review: Gather the test prints and pen plots that you've mentioned are scattered around; they can be potential materials for your zine. Organize them in a folder specifically for this project to facilitate efficient future work sessions.

Affirmation

Each step forward, no matter how small, is a step towards transforming ideas into inspiring creations.

Additional Thoughts

Given that adjusting from weekdays into the weekend is always crucial for maintaining a balance, today is perfectly situated for making this transition smooth. You've been focusing on self-care recently, like having breaks and staying warm in your studio, which will keep fueling your creative energy. As the weekend approaches, remind yourself of the importance of relaxation and let any new ideas percolate gently over the downtime. Enjoy the process and the prospect of creating something uniquely reflective of your journey as an artist!
