Another unplanned, improvisational, abstract doodle, drawn while listening to Another Round podcast with Heben and Tracy.
Unplanned, improvisational, and abstract are my favorite. They are not crowd pleasers — people are much more impressed by realism, and oh, COLOR — but the #CreativeSandbox is not about impressing people. That isn’t the point.
The purpose is JOY.
And you know what? All those years I knocked myself out trying to impress people? It didn’t make me happy.
Oh, it might stroke my ego for a fleeting moment. But then that moment is gone, and the ego is whining to be fed again. A bottomless pit of need.
When I feed my JOY, on the other hand, it sustains me for much longer. My ego may not get the satisfaction of a huge follower count, or thousands of “likes” on a single post, but it’s a more satisfying practice in the long run.
Follow your joy. That’s the Creative Sandbox Way.
