Sam Weber and Jillian Tamaki

I cannot stop looking at the art of Sam Weber and his wife, Jillian Tamaki. Below are some of my favorites of Sam's. Aspiring to be this great.

To Create a Thing

Creating

Is being alive

Is placing that all familiar thing:

Hands in the handle of a hammer

Baby-finger grasps on a wand of charcoal

Or oil pastel,

Words in waiting on the tongue like

Pools of water in ready leaves

Shiny and waxen.

Some white hot heat

Warming the soul

At its pouring out

Onto paper or canvas

Or crowds of faces

The air around you

Heavier with the weight of

The uncreated things

That you carry

Waiting for you to be ready for them

And to sing

Nowness.

I am obsessed with this video. Just some stills that really struck me.
