Creativity…

My previous post was a big declaration and turning point for myself personally – and it’s funny how suddenly everything you see around you points you in the same direction. Like some kind of cosmic alignment. I just read this article and it’s totally what I blogged about and has fired me up even more…so [...] See the full post »

Stop Trying, Just Do It Already

I thought of Yoda when writing the title of this post…and I truly believe it’s wisdom for all. There is no try, only do! If you aren’t a Star Wars fan, perhaps this quote helps to explain… “An ounce of action is worth a ton of theory.” – Friedrich Engels I’ve been quite occupied with [...] See the full post »

Creative Workspace Photo Peeks

I was happy to do a bit of sketching today and participate with the Illustration Friday theme of layer. For some reason, whenever I draw underground scenes, I automatically include a burrow with hibernating animals. I wonder if it’s because I would like to hibernate myself? Or perhaps the state of sleep just seems so [...] See the full post »

Working Creative Space…

This week I’ve really been concentrating on a lot of client projects, wiling the hours away on the computer coding. My husband also had a little operation on his right hand yesterday, so playing nurse and literally “right-hand woman” at other times as well. Of course, I’m not complaining at all because it’s really nice [...] See the full post »

It’s Friday…no Saturday already!

Here in Italy, it’s already past midnight. Friday night and I’m still trying to catch up on work. Sigh sigh… not to say I haven’t been enjoying my time, especially with little breaks to walk our puppy and play with him. But it’s definitely a bit stressful and I started to realize, hey, it’s been [...] See the full post »

Surrender…

It’s funny how the word for Illustration Friday this week is surrender. I am so tired and there’s so much to do…I really do feel like just surrendering and throwing everything into the corner of the room – then I can escape downstairs to eat something bad for me and sleep on the couch. It’s [...] See the full post »
