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! 🖍

(And did you notice that Doodlebot can breathe underwater?)

Note: For the fullest experience, I recommend listening to the podcast, as the audio version always contains additional comments and tangents not found in the blog post version.
People who know me often tell me that I have a lot of energy.
“You’re like the Energizer Bunny!” they say. “How do you get so much done?”
But that’s what it looks like from the outside.
And that’s when things are normal.
And things have definitely not been normal lately.
What you don’t know is that for the past month, with I believe three exceptions, I have had a migraine, or at least the start of migraine symptoms, every single day.
Now, I should clarify [Read more…]

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. 😊👍
