Hey ,

How else can art be made if not by scribbling, slashing and splashing?

First, you scribble then, you slash because you must kill your darlings not so?

Then, you splash, a little bit of colour, spice and a metaphor. Not too much, so it doesn't end up like the boiled yam I made last week. (Actually, I cooked salt with a little bit of yam 🤪)

How do you make yours?
