Week Fourty-Four I’ll be honest. I’ve been feeling a little lost lately. Things are going on in my life recently that is making it hard to produce work, let alone do anything fun and creative. I’m so tired. I’ve been home a LOT lately, rarely going out and participating in the things that make life…
Week Forty-Three “If you get tired, learn to rest, not to quit.” Happy Sunday all! It’s been a looooong week for me and I’m feeling pretty tapped out creatively. So I’m giving myself a pass this week and not forcing myself to write when I don’t have the energy. STILL, I can’t help but leave…
Week Forty-Two We are entering the final 10 weeks of the year! Can you believe it? I remember when I started this project in January, how far away even just the double-digit weeks seemed! It’s crazy what you can accomplish when you are passionate, committed, and pushing yourself. I’m very proud of myself for keeping…
Week Forty-One “Destroy the idea that you gotta be good at artistic things to enjoy them, that every hobby has to become something you’re so good at, you can monetize it. A capitalist lie. Sing offkey, draw poorly, write badly. Life is meant to be enjoyed, not monetized. You’re not a product.” The tweet above by @bookavid…
Week Forty The more you do it, the better you’ll get. My #1 advice for improving as an artist is to practice your art form as MUCH as possible. Do things that feel hard and push yourself when you don’t want to do it. That’s what Making Art Everyday is all about! I created this…
Week Thirty-Nine Trapped ideas die. When you get an idea, write it down! When I started my first Art Everyday project back in 2016, the beginning was difficult, mostly because half the struggle was coming up with something to draw! Even inspiration was hard to find. After a couple of months, an interesting thing happened….
Week Thirty-Eight UNITED WE GEEK. There is massive value in finding your people that are nerdy in the same ways you are. And I say “nerd” in the very best way possible because to me, nerds and geeks are simply VERY passionate people. These are people who’ve found something they love SO much they want to…

Week Thirty-Seven Stop what you’re doing, and go listen to the 5-year anniversary episode of Creative Pep Talk. I was listening myself, and it was so impactful, I stopped halfway through to tell you about it here. It made me think about where I was 5 years ago. It was a pivotal point in my life when the wheels were just…
Week Thirty-Six This time of year feels very transitional. In my part of the world, summer is coming to a close and seasons are starting to change. My oldest kid just started kindergarten (!!!), and we’re finding our way with the new routine. Everything feels like a new chapter is unfolding and it’s all pretty…
