In the daily notes I mused about art being a process of filtration:

Adam's Notes
šŸ“ Making Art vs Making a Product
I’m thinking about the difference between making art and making products. Is it ā€˜Art’ every time we make something? I’m thinking about David Shrigley’s quote again. ā€œArt is the bi-product of the process of creatingā€ Okay that’s probably a misquote, but the idea is there…

And I got excited about Carson Ellis joining Substack. I must say the 8 months I’ve spent writing almost daily has been so rewarding for me, and if you’re a creative putting work out there, I think Substack is a great platform for doing so!

Ps: if you’re already on Substack, you may have noticed the recommendation feature was just launched. If you like Adam’s Notes, would you consider making me a recommendation?

For something a little different this week, I’m sharing 3 Artist things I found interesting this week:


1. I loved the style of this drawing which turned out to be a WIP of an animation.

2. I love this question from a kindle highlight:

In what ways have you yet to accept the fact that you are who you are, not the person you think you ought to be?" (Oliver Burkeman, Four Thousand Weeks)

3. Broken English Goodbye — E S Kibele Yarman

Artist/designer Eren Su Kibele Yarman’s book Broken English GoodbyeĀ bringsĀ together a collection of illustrations and poems on the themes of departure and detachment..

ā€œBroken English GoodbyeĀ is an assemblage made up of 20 fragments of a vessel that fell and broke like an amphora. By shifting the scale and the coordinates of both type and imagery,Ā Broken English GoodbyeĀ questions the origin of the fragments and their relationship to their whole, what came before the breakage and which alien pieces came afterwards. It sings its verses like pop songs with many choir parts, with some repetition, some verbal and visual continuous montage. This book is a goodbye to many faces and places, including my twenties and is written in broken English.ā€
