You can never predict what little things in the way somebody looks or talks or acts will set off peculiar emotional reactions in other people.

Resilience is often determined by our reaction to adversity and failure

The idea is not to live forever, it is to create something that will.

Hey here's you're reminder:

You're not too old to pick up a pen and learn to draw. You're not too old to learn an instrument. You're not too old to learn to sculpt, or write a book.

You are not too old to create things.

Art is what you can get away with.

As an artist, cryptomnesia is one of the coolest yet scariest concepts. I think the idea of mistaking a memory for a new thought could be related to how our experiences shape what we create. But what if that brilliant idea I just had was actually a forgotten memory of someone else's awesome idea? 😅

one of my fave and must humbling parts of being an artist is that no matter how good you get, or how long you've been doing it, you are always one bad day away from making the shittiest drawing you've ever seen

Great Washington Post nostalgia study. Adults think U.S. society was historically nicest and comfiest—most moral and close-knit, families happiest—whenever they happened to be little kids, and culture (music, movies, TV, fashion, sports, food) best whenever they were adolescents. wapo.st/3WXd9xS

Noted.

Don't think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it’s good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art.

This is one of the reasons I do my quick doodles of people’s posts!

When I see a cute / funny image, I try to draw it fast and commit to posting it no matter how happy I am with the result.

My heart was RACING the first few weeks I did it, but the anxiety slowly got better 🙂

They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.

The world fascinates me.

I have weird little goblins living in my brain and I endorse this message.
