I’m down in a creative slump… gotta move some furniture around and stare at my art books 📚

Lovely encounter in the neighbourhood 🐒😀

Artists! You don’t need new pens.
Or new classes.
Or 12-step routines.
You need 1 pen, 1 page, and a little bit of quiet.

Writing habits that help me make more art:
🖊️ Morning Pages
📔 Journaling
📅 Planning
☕ Weekly reflections (with coffee & pastry!)

World of Microsoft machines (from the MOHAI museum). I think now we need to replace it with laptops and phones. Those CRT monitors though!!

Here’s a quick tour through my daily sketchbook #3. I started this habit at the beginning of the year and it’s been a blast!

I made a little video flipping through my last daily mini sketchbook🕺! And answered a couple of questions about daily sketching practice 🙈 it’s all in my post here: pocketsofcuriosity.substack.com/p/day-11-dai...

The last page of a mini daily sketchbook! I don’t manage to sketch every single day but it reminds me to keep my sketching practice 💪

Yesterday life got in a way of my art practice, so I analysed what happened and wrote a post in my newsletter about it!

RUCKING. Have you heard of it? Basically carrying loaded vest/backpack on a walk/hike/run.
This nifty pack on my back is about 20lb and is great for regular 1h walks around my neighbourhoods on active rest days.
