Some thoughts on keeping creative to do lists. How they serve my creativity and also serve as life lessons.

I ponder returning from traveling and getting back in the studio. I encourage you to get out and vote. I suspect there’s a LIFE LESSON.

Here’s a roundup from my blog while I’m out of office. It includes the most read posts from this year as well as some personal faves.

A post where we are all reminded that I’m still practicing subtlety in my resistance art. I’m starting to think it’ll never happen.

I’m exploring a couple of quotes by famous artists and thinking about whether or not the ax of art is my defense against fate.

A listicle of all the kinds of things I do to fill my creative well. Maybe one of these will spark your creativity too!

This is my second year creating my own personal artist residency. It was a renewing and refreshing week thinking about and making art.

Here’s a couple of music playlists to dance around the studio to. Peppy and irreverent seems to be my jam. Don’t @ me.

A project recap of my 100 Day Project. I have a full set of pics and some thoughts about how this project went and reminders for next time.

Taking artistic commissions can be a crap shoot. Let’s talk about how to do it well and enjoy the process.

A quick project that adds a lot of value to my notebook experience! I show you how I replace the metal spiral with a crocheted spine.

I explore the question “What is it all for?” in relation to my personal art practice and encourage you to do the same.

Have you ever heard of the four Ds? I talk about a time management system that sometimes helps me juggle the many hats I wear.

Community makes me feel hopeful, even as it’s so hard to build. Thinking about what it takes to make a good one and where we all can plug in.

I reminisce about my earliest memories that have shaped my artistic journey. This is how my lifelong love of making came to be.
