Underwater doodle while listening to my interview (part 1!) on @thecreativityhabit. I rarely listen to my own podcast interviews, but this one profoundly touched me. Daphne is a true Story Whisperer, AND we talked for FOUR HOURS to produce the two hours of this two-part podcast. 🖍
I’m finding it quite interesting and entertaining to listen to myself from the outside! 🖍
Find both parts of this intense interview at http://bit.ly/2A7eLwr Or visit @thecreativityhabit and find the link in her profile to her website. 🖍
(And did you notice that Doodlebot can breathe underwater?)

Artwork in Progress
I create just about every day, and share my works-in-progress here, and on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. You can find finished paintings from 2011 through 2015 in my Daily Paintings feed.

20 years ago, 10 years ago, maybe even 5 years ago, marks like this would never have left my pen intentionally. If I had made marks like this, I would have been embarrassed, mortified, ashamed. I wanted to make *beautiful* things, *precise* things. I thought I had to control everything — for it to be “perfect” — in order for it to be acceptable… and for *me* to be acceptable (read: worthy of love).
🖍
Interestingly, I could go to a Museum of Modern Art and accept that *other* artists could make crazy, wild, abstract weirdness, and even be lauded for it, but for some reason I had a different set of standards for myself. I guess I bought into the notion that I had to learn to draw and paint photorealistically perfectly *first*, and *then* I could break away from that and explore other modes of expression…? 🖍
Honestly, it’s been so long, I don’t remember. All I know is that marks like this were UGLY, and unacceptable to me. I NEVER would have made something like this!!! 😂
🖍
And yet all this time, this is what my inner 4-year-old was dying to make! Because my inner 4-year-old is not concerned with conventional standards of “beauty” or “propriety”! All she cares about is following her curiosity!
🖍
Thank goodness I’m more inclined to follow her lead these days. It’s a whole heckuva lot more fun. 😊👍

It just occurred to me that my doodles are all just playgrounds for #doodlebot. 😊 🖍
This utterly delights me. .

Yes, there’s a DIFFERENCE between mess and clutter! This is SO IMPORTANT to understand, especially for creators! 🖍
I’ll be going over the other 6 differences, PLUS 8 reasons WHY we hold onto clutter, at a FREE clutterbusting session next Tuesday. We’ll do a real, live ClutterBust ON THE CALL, so you’ll actually bust some clutter and experience the power of ClutterBusting for yourself! Link in profile, or go to http://bit.ly/2u8yQvB
🖍
Clear your clutter to free up space to CREATE! (Not to mention THINK and BREATHE again. 😊)
