0:00(quiet, simple instrumental music starts playing)
0:11And here we are playing with some water, and glowy ink.
0:15Which we're gonna use to draw with
0:17in a moment.
0:21Each drop of glow-y ink
0:23upon hitting the water
0:24and diffusing makes the jar a little bit brighter
0:28even,
0:29if it's barely noticeable.
0:33Maybe, maybe looking at things and getting little
0:37drops of inspiration works the same way
0:42I dont know, maybe, maybe,
0:44my brain jar will get
0:45so bright one day
0:46that it'll just
0:47explode
0:48or,
0:49or none of the drops will make a difference anymore.
0:52Who knows? I don't know how it works.
0:53I havent tried adding that many drops yet.
1:00The real question is how to
1:02get those drops of inspiration
1:04from... the world... from reality.
1:07Some people wonder about, how to get
1:10milk from almonds.
1:11That's another good question.
1:13It turns out they soak them and blend them
1:15and strain them,
1:17and probably add some sort of sweetener
1:19they probably add milk. But anyways...
1:22Reality is out there and we somehow have to soak it
1:25and blend it and strain it and,
1:28sweeten it up with some milk somehow
1:30and squeeze out every. last. drop. of inspiration
1:34and drippely drop it into our brain jars
1:38and brighten it all up so that we can...
1:41put it out onto the paper, whatever your paper happens to be
1:44Maybe your paper is some poetry you're writing
1:48Or just, maybe just the way you interact with each other.
1:51I don't know. I kinda waxing a little eloquent here. I didn't want to do that.
1:54I just want to draw a picture. OK.
1:56OK, let's just draw a picture.
1:58Let's do it.
1:59I had the lights off. I had all the lights off.
2:02I just have a glass pen here.
2:04Ok, I have a glass pen.
2:06Um... What's this ink called? It is called...
2:10Noodler...
2:13Uh...
2:14Does it even say?
2:16It does say: The Blue Ghost
2:18Noodler's Ink.
2:19So this ink is actually intended for
2:22fountain pens
2:23but it worked well with this... glass pen I bought.
2:26Actually I was not... I did not buy it. It was given to me.
2:29It was in a previous glass pen video.
2:32And... it works well with glass pens.
2:34I'll, put links to stuff in the description. Look...
2:37It's fun to combine different art supplies. Stuff that necessarily wasn't meant for each other
2:42can work fantastically.
2:44Like that one time I used a banana, in ink.
2:46OK, maybe one of those things was not an art supply.
2:51You know...
2:52But.
2:52Ya know.
2:53Whoever intended... Whoever invented ink
2:56and bananas did not intend for them to be TOGETHER.
3:00but
3:01ink... just tastes... so dang good.
3:04But look. This drawing was great.
3:06I had to be very careful not to get any
3:08of the glowy ink on my fingers
3:10'cause I was touching the paper a lot with my left hand
3:14and I knew that very easily I could start smudging, and any smudging
3:18would be so...
3:20painfully... apparent.
3:22Usually I'm fine with some smudging
3:24but this time I wanted to keep it as crisp and clean as I could
3:27And, you know, so all the lines would seem
3:30uh, the lines I DID put down would seem
3:32you know, as sharp and bright and glowy as possible.
3:35And I think it turned out pretty well.
3:37This ink doesn't smear very well if you don't touch it when it's wet.
3:41And, this...
3:42interestingly enough, when you have the black light shining on it
3:46it's actually a completely different color when it's wet.
3:49It's like a little bit...
3:51It's like a brighter... blue. And then it...
3:54as it dries it turns down into, like a
3:57different
3:58less bright blue.
3:59That's just common sense.
4:01but, um...
4:03Am I saying "but, um" a lot?
4:05but, um
4:06uhhh...
4:07And then I... This is a Paperblanks notebook I'm drawing in
4:09I bought it at some corner store, somwhere. Chicago I think.
4:13But they're available on the internet somewhere.
4:15They're kind of expensive, but they're fun mostly because they have really ornate covers.
4:19Uh, you know that can be inspiring. Right now. That can inspire you to greatness.
4:23Just an ornate cover.
4:24Sometimes, on the other hand, though
4:26I like a really plain cover.
4:29Because, then, I'm like
4:30Nobody knows...
4:32You know, really just a plain black, or plain white cover.
4:35Like nothing... Like there's no..
4:37kind of like, hidden waters... Isn't there a saying like something... "hidden..."?
4:42still waters?
4:43Anyways! You just like don't know what's on the inside until you open it up
4:46and it all jumps out at you, blowing your face off!
4:49These incredible drawings, and doodles, and
4:52whatever you put in your sketchbooks
4:54sketches
4:55ART!
4:55There's art inside!
4:56Yes!
4:57And you couldn't tell,
4:59it's totally nondescript on the outside
5:01'cause
5:01you know, like, what if someone was, like, holding it up, like...
5:04You know, you hold up a
5:05a plain black notebook
5:07nobody looks twice at it
5:09and you just say
5:10Wait 'till I show you what's in HERE.
5:12You hold up one of these Paperblank notebooks, with the super ornate cover
5:16people will expect a LOT.
5:19People will expect a lot,
5:20out of a sketchbook like that.
5:21So you gotta be careful. Ya know, there're two ways to approach it.
5:24Anyways, this one
5:25ahh, has an awesome cover.
5:27Uh, ya know...
5:28And, uh, this... You know, do whatever you want.
5:31You can also buy a plain one
5:32and draw
5:33on the outside.
5:34So, maybe that's the third... you know, door number three.
5:37Go for it! Do whatever you want.
5:39But I had fun with this.
5:41There's a lot of different... glowy inks out there, by the way.
5:45Some of them are meant for different purposes.
5:48I've used glowy ink
5:49that was intended as printing ink.
5:51I'm not sure what that meant.
5:52But that's what it was advertised as.
5:54I'm not sure if you were supposed to put it in a printer
5:56but that seemed to work fine for me. I used it with brushes... and...
6:00I would paint my fingernails, and it would only show up in black light, and it'd look pretty awesome.
6:05and I got it on my skin a lot, and then I found out...
6:09on the bottle it said...
6:11On...
6:12It said "Never EVER get it on your skin"
6:15"or your eyes"
6:16and
6:17It had all these crazy warnings
6:19But I'm like, probably that's just worse case scenario...
6:22There's probably like .01% of the population that's allergic to printer ink or something.
6:26I probably don't need to worry about it, right?
6:28What are the chances?
6:30But anyways, there's never anything.. bad things that happened.
6:32You know, if you're wondering.
6:34Um, everything was OK.
6:36Except I probably forgot to wash it off that night
6:38and then I probably got it all over my pillow
6:41and I didn't know it 'cause it was invisible
6:42.
6:43hhhhh
6:44With great super powers... come great messes.
6:48That's what I've found out.
6:50Anyways! So get out there
6:52get those almonds of life
6:54make that
6:55inspirational
6:56almond milk
6:57You know, however you have to go about it
7:00squeeze hard
7:01Get the Blendtec blender, you know...
7:04Will it blend? Life... It'll blend... Oh it will!
7:07You might have to set it on "puree".
7:09uhh, but you can get it.
7:11Even the most simple
7:13Simple things that might seem the hardest, the toughest...
7:16uhh
7:17maybe they just need to soak for a while
7:19That's the first step in making almond milk.
7:21Just let it soak for a while.
7:23Over night, or up to two days.
7:24alright?
7:25No rush.
7:27let it sit
7:28let it simmer
7:29let it marinate
7:31It's gonna be OK. Alright!
7:33Uhh, y'all take it easy.
7:35Uhh.
7:36Goodbye.
7:37*whispers* Goodbye.
7:38Uhh
7:40yeah
7:42I feel, hhh...
