Old Eye - Ivan Ave

I wanna have a light source coming out from here so we’ll start with this white

with a little yellow in it

Just like so

I love these little scenes where the light’s coming from behind or it’s coming

from behind a tree or something and just

Projecting through

To me those are so beautiful

And it’s unbelievable what you can do with them

Uh, put all my hurts on paper so I can grip some

Put all my dirt on the table so I don’t trip on nothing

My world on tape, I could slow it down pitch it up

Words dance on the page like dyslexia

It’s only right I leave behind a document

Special shoutout if you tuning in post the apocalypse

It’s that rare kind of gem recorded breathin' oxygen

Scrolls of what I seen, how it felt in the moment

I seen a lot of beauty in between the omens

Seen the truth roll over my dude like a wave of lotion

I seen a homie drink the Kool-Aid potion with both hands and get programmed by

the top of the totem, they got us

All with Orion’s belt

Plutocrats pimpin' minds like they do the

Steve Bannon made his money off of Seinfield

And now Newman got the nuclear code, so

This might be the last time we gon' have time

Before I get up in the memories, I’mma grab mine, yeah

This might be the last time we gon' have time

I don’t know about memories, I’mma grab mine

Around the time I had those Umbro wristbands

My arms ready to reach into the unknown and grip that

My man Andy showed me something on the Discman

Planted a seed deep inside the knitted hat, fast forward

Around the time Yogisoul dropped By Nights

I felt like I could look at a rock and that shit would shine bright

By the time 'Fades recorded Warmth

All the wrong colours on the horizon couldn’t get my mind right

By the time Charlotte got in the limelight

I was like if some hope don’t come in soon then the tides might

Water rising, holding onto the promise that in a couple years

We gon' have that 20/20 hindsight

By the time Mohammed got into film school

Feeling good, celebrations with the crew, I could see that

Moment for what it was, knowing I miss that dude

Summer’s so short man, listen to Stu

This might be the last time

Before I get up in the memories, I’mma grab mine, yeah

This might be the last time we gon' have time

I don’t know about what memories, I’mma grab mine

I like these little paintings, hope you do too

They’re so interesting and they’re very easy to do, even for people who’ve

never painted before

These little paintings are so nice, they’re great

There, now then, maybe… once again, don’t just hit it random, think about

form and shape it’s going on up here

Now then just blend it outward, outward, outward

But you want it to get darker and darker as it moves away from that light source

There, think about there somewhere

And already it looks like there’s a glow happening back here and that’s what

we’re looking for

And very lightly we’ll brush it a little, take out the brushstrokes

Sometimes when you’re doing these it’s interesting if you wanna put the

indication of light rays you can just pull

Don’t know if you can see there but it’ll make the indication of little rays of

light zingin' trough the woods or wherever it happens to be

This is an excellent way to make those type of scenes

It looks like there’s a glow back there, a big lantern

A few little sticks and twigs that live out here

There

Don’t want these to be very dark, they’ll be out here in this light

So they also will be very, very subdued so you almost can’t see them

There

But we know they’re there

We know they’re there
