HOUR#17 : OLD HOBBIES


"The more you know, the less you need."
Yvon Chouinard

When I was a kid art was destined to be my life. It was the only thing I was good at in school. I even had a place in art college until I decided to take a different path...

The intention was to go back to it one day and for that reason I hoarded art supplies. I did create some painting and stuff now and again but it was rare so it was time to unburden myself.

Two of my friends were beneficiaries of the following stuff after digging it all out :
  • Eisel
  • 12 canvases
  • Several artist pads
  • Used and unused oil paints
  • Used and unused acrylic paints
  • Many brushes and pallet knives
  • Artist sprays
  • Pens and pencils
Goodbye stuff...

Hour#15-16 : Paper Shredding


"The more you know, the less you need."
Yvon Chouinard

It's amazing the amount of paper you can accumulate. Hidden away in drawers and folders over the years this is the stuff you think you'll need but upon review know you will never find a purpose for.

So started the two hour shredding frenzy... scuppered a few times due to the shredder overheating!
