Week Fourteen We just finished week two of full-on stay-at-home. It seems like many people are trying to maximize their shelter-in-place time, and fill it with as much as possible to enrich their current lives. It’s so great to see people trying new things and pushing themselves! But maintaining that level of effort (on top…
Week Thirteen Wow, guys. In the span of a week, it feels like our whole world has been turned upside-down. In many ways, what we’re going through will change us forever. In small ways and in significant ways. My hope is that this has some lasting effects that change us for the better. I don’t…
Ordering your ABC book From Mixbook For the month of March in Making Art Everyday, we have been illustrating the alphabet! The big challenge is to complete every letter and print it into a book that you can hold in your hands. To help you achieve this goal, I’ve partnered with Mixbook, an awesome, easy-to-use book printer,…
Week Twelve We’re entering our third week of Alphabet + Illustration month. It’s possible at this point you no longer like the theme you chose for your ABC book. When is it time to push through? When it is time to pivot? The answer always lies in the “why.” Is it because you don’t think…
Week Eleven Everything’s better when we do it together. I just got back from the Alt Summit conference for female entrepreneurs in creative fields.

Week Nine After a year-long break from it, I started going back to therapy last week. I tell ya, there is nothing like explaining your whole life to another person to make you realize, HOLY CRAP, I really do take on a lot. Keeping busy is my way of life. Yes, I’m naturally ambitious, but…
Week Eight Overwhelm. Comparison. Lack of inspiration. Imposter Syndrome. Criticism. Insecurity. Perfectionism. Fear of “doing it wrong,” being “unoriginal,” or not being “good enough.” The list of fears when it comes to creativity is long. No matter how talented, skilled, or experienced we might be, WE ALL FEEL THESE. Sooner or later, you will hit…
Week Seven As part of your daily art practice, there are going to be some pieces you create that you just don’t like. Maybe it didn’t come out the way you imagined in your head. Maybe you’re a developing artist and you’re still working on your drawing skills. Maybe it just looks…off. Whatever the reason,…
Week Six Your ideas make you YOU. They are the product of your unique medley of experiences, tastes, passions, and skills. Probably the most exciting aspect of adding the “plus” element to MAE is getting peer into all of your creative brains. It is so cool getting to see what comes out of your minds…
