I keep telling the girls that I just can’t remember what these little blue flowers are called, so they keep bringing them to me…

Here is a photo of my father from way back when. It was taken at the 2 I’s Club on Old Compton Street, Soho in London.

haha, this is so funny. people have already commented on this picture before i even get a chance to write something about it. This is not an illustration by me. The illustration in the Moleskine is by Mattias Adolfsson.
Blogged about here.

I think that’s the spirit in an Alex Toth style with so inspired notes on comic illustration.

Side by Side

Drew’s is on the left (he was officially there). Mine is on the right (although Moleskine kindly gave me a ticket, they didn’t invite my book – i brought it along anyway!).
Blogged about here.
Probably about a year ago I discovered Drew’s art alongside mine (ie next in the pool) in the flickr group moleskinerie, so you may appreciate why I got goosebumps taking this photo last week. 
7 Steps to Mental Clarity
It’s still hard for me to have a clear mind thinking on it. But it’s the truth even if it didn’t happen.

I used to often hit a dense wall of fog when I tried to move forward with my goals. Feeling drowsy and un-motivated, irritable and un-focused. Coffee had a lot to do with this. Its short term effects were great but regular cold-turkey was required or I had to increase the dosage. At one point 4 years ago and after a heavy bout of overwork, over-stress and pneumonia leading to coughing blood I decided to turn my back on the wicked black stuff (even though I loved it) and search for the natural energy and power to break through the walls.
Finally after searching and testing I discovered my 7 components to achieving mental focus consistently and with very little effort. Here they are:
Hydration
Drink plenty of water. Its essential for every function in your body. About a cup every hour.
Visual Acuity
Get your eyes checked out, wear some contact lenses. See clearly. Try the Bate’s Method for size if you are cynical about the billion dollar spectacles industry. Balance and clarity are important – everything else will follow.
Meditation
Empty your head of all the daily white noise and reboot refreshed.
Exercise
The more you do the more energy you have.
Sleep
My mum used to say: ‘early to bed, early to rise makes a boy healthy, wealthy and wise.’ Give yourself a break and go to bed early and don’t be afraid to take cat naps when your body tells you to.
Diet
Eat fresh food, lots of fruit and kick out dairy – that stuff will drag you down and fill your lungs with mucous.
Jala Neti
Wash out your head of fuzz and built up grime – let your personal air conditioning system work to its full potential. Nasal irrigation sounds disgusting to a lot westerners but is been done for eons in other cultures to recognized health benefits.
