Flake. Dreamer. Eccentric. Artsy. We’re called many things. Truth is, maybe we are. But, we’re also Makers, Designers and Authors. From the interconnection of these endless thoughts, new ideas take shape. As an artist, I’m embattled to tether my wandering mind. To make progress when there are endless opportunities. Focus is hard and sometimes damn near impossible. And I know I’m not alone.
Kevin, I'm so glad you've found your way back to your sketchbook. Drawing from life pulled me back into my art after the pandemic. I was burned out and had no interest in taking on new projects or starting any personal projects. Drawing from life was pure joy when I rediscovered it. So happy you shared this!
My breakthrough has been sketching from life in ink. Wherever I am, just pulling out the sketchbook and drawing whatever catches my eye. I was always scared to draw in public, but I’ve largely conquered it over the past few weeks by drawing in the subway during my commute. A horrific flight delay gave me plenty of downtime in an airport yesterday and today. My love for this practice has cemented itself and I’m really liking some of the work I’ve been doing!
First, Jackie, it's great to hear from you. I'm sorry you've struggled with gut issues and hope you've found a way to mitigate your health problems. Drawing, walking and reading the Bible all sound like good medicine. Every day I learn a bit more about entrepreneurship and connecting with folks. I've learned to have a meaningful connection with 1 person. Help them address or solve their problem and you know you have something of value. That becomes your case study moving forward. I'm excited to hear more about what you are doing and thanks for sharing this!
