I needed this.
And I keep telling myself: art needs space. Art needs boredom. You need yo get bored. You need yo get your head space empty. You need to start craving for something to get ideas. You need time for walking for hours and just observe. Art needs to grow from being resourceful not dry
For all of the creatives fretting about not being productive, this is a great reminder:

"There's a time to grow and a time to rest"

It's cold and the world is overwhelming. So, I'm resting!
Feeling grateful for plants this morning. Which is such a funny thing to say, but they (specifically my native garden) remind me of the seasonality of life & how there's a time to grow and a time to rest, how planting seeds for the future is something you spend your whole life doing. This is good.

I keep telling people that good concept artists don’t just make pretty pictures.

A huge part of their job is research and decision making that AI can’t do.
"concept artists can experiment with AI to make their lives easi-"

wrong

I smack you with Claire Hummel's immaculate and detailed understanding of costume design, which she got by studying historical references, which made her strong, which you will not become by relying on AI

get good

Crunchy timelines burn people out. Low page rates and advances burn people out. Give a cartoonist a living salary and the time to work, and you are investing in a long-term CAREER. Books get passed around. Audiences grow over TIME. Books don't have to be first-day bestsellers to be successful.

I started this drawing before I went on vacation a couple weeks ago. I’ve been really enjoying leaning into more soft kidlit-focused art lately!
