Sunday morning doodle, listening to Homecoming podcast. Have you heard it? Phenomenal! Those folks at @gimletmedia make amazing shows, and I am thrilled they’ve turned their hands to fiction! It’s like the radio plays from the 40s that my 7th grade English teacher turned me onto. “Valley of the Blind” will never leave me–thank you, Mr. Siders! #creativesandbox […]

Morning doodle from today’s Doodlecam. It’s been awhile since I’ve done a Doodlecam, what with traveling and being sick, but it felt like a good day to bring it back. And you know what’s cool? I just realized that I wasn’t the least bit nervous! The first few times I doodled live on camera I was nervous as […]

Happy Sunday! I’m taking tomorrow off as a belated double birthday celebration with my best friend, so today is a work day, but I took the time for some morning doodling in my sketchbook before getting to work. ?

Morning doodle before leading a rally call with my Creative Sandbox Community members. I do that twice a month–it’s like open office hours, where members can ask me anything, and we get to just hang out in my virtual living room for an hour together. It’s my favorite part of the Creative Sandbox Community–getting together in real time. […]

Why I Turned Down a Paid Music Gig

I just turned down a paying music gig. After writing in my journal this morning that one of the things I’d like to get back to is performing my music. Why in the world would I do such a thing? Well, rarely in life are things black and white, it turns out. Most of the time they are […]

What’s on my sketchbook page, with a colorful new doodle down the middle. This one got long and skinny. No reason—it’s a doodle. ? #creativesandbox #creativesandboxway #doodle #doodles #doodleart #doodleartist #doodlesofinstagram #dailydoodle2017 #dailydoodle #dailycreative #dailyart #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #abstractart #originalart #originalartwork #pigmamicron #neocolor2 #neocolorii

Teeny tiny morning doodle. Starting with color. Neocolor II + Pigma Micron 03. Just because playing in the Creative Sandbox makes my life go better. Or as one of my Creative Sandbox Community members puts it, making art is therapeutic. What’s *your* art? It may not look like “traditional art” at all — maybe it’s gardening or cooking […]

A little color in this morning’s doodle. Following Creative Sandbox Way Guidepost #6: “Ask ‘What if..?’” Because curiosity is the birthplace of creativity. THAT is what the Creative Sandbox is all about: exploring, experimenting, making messes, and just TRYING STUFF! Because it interests you. Because you’re curious. Because it’s FUN! Because THAT is what humans DO! This is […]
