Another performer is ready to go. Let’s see who it is.
Read moreCreativity – No Sketchbook is Perfect…
With everyone sharing all of their work on social media and live streams, I think that it is really easy to fall into a trap! I am here to tell you. Right now. There is no such thing as a perfect sketchbook. There just isn’t.
What you see on social media is the sketchbook page that made it through to the end. You don’t see the testing, the concept layouts, the scratch out and try again parts. Even if it isn’t in that social media sketchbook, it’s there… trust me.
A lot of aspiring creatives I talk to get stuck in the need to make things perfect. “It won’t as good as X”. Correct! They did their work to get to where they are at. You have your own path to get where you will end up.
Make marks on the page! Put ideas down on paper! Write, sketch, scribble, trace… do something! And don’t worry about “ruining” that sketchbook. In the end it will tell the story of your creative journey. Let it out!
IX – The Hermit
Ahhh the card that speaks most to my heart lately. The Hermit. I actually pulled this card on my first day back in the office full time. Seemed appropriate lol.
If you’ve read our story, I don’t think that there will be any doubt as to who will embody this card. Any guesses? Let’s see if you’re right.
Read moreRecommendation – Firefly!
It’s probably time that I bring up the subject of AI around here at some point. It’s a hot topic in the world in general, but really big in the art businesses. I will start this by saying, I am still learning a lot, and I am scratching the surface. I am mostly dipping my toes it right now, and reluctant to dive all the way in just yet. I do want to share how I incorporate some AI into my processes though, and what my experience has been.
Read moreTarot – 7 of Cups
The 7 of Cups is the card of opportunities, choices, wishful thinking, and illusion. We get all of this and more as we step into the circus. Where do we even start?
Read morePrompt – Experiment!
I know that I have said it a million times before, but experimentation is one of the best things I can recommend for any type of creative. I find that it is the best way to learn about a tool, about a process and about your own work. If you don’t push the boundaries of a tool, how are you going to use it to create the best work that you can make?
Read moreMarch Newsletter!
Hi everyone! I kind of took March off from social media and content updates. I needed sometime to “catch up” and get back on track. Now it’s time to get back to it… so let’s go!
