Lemonade
In 2012 I participated in the Brooklyn Art Library’s Sketchbook Project with my “How to Make the Best F’ing Lemonade” sketchbook contribution. Since then my little book has had a total of 9 views. I loved getting every one of those emails informing me that someone found my 5” x 7” black painted sketchbook in the sea of thousands of beautifully crafted works of absolute art. My little book is plain and simple, no pop up origami, no colorful illustrations of an adventure, notta one perfectly painted portrait of a loved one or pet, nor an eye catching cover so moving that one could see it clear across the room, nope, not mine. My little book is scrappy, black, hard to find and filled with the sour parts of life accompanied by tasty recipes to take your mind off of life’s many troubles. The Lemonade book, as I loosely refer to it, provides pivoting thoughts from a financial setback, job loss or relationship to playing like a child. The book will not solve all of life’s disasters, however, it does break up tension and inspire creative solutions to move on to the next chapter in life.
The recipes sprinkled about are lemon flavored snacks, blender drinks and libations for those tougher moments.
“How to Make the Best F’ing Lemonade” is a tiny book of inspiration for your personal development tool box for life’s messy moments. “HTMTBFL” will be available for download soon!
