Moodboard: Early Waking. Inspired by the unfurling of spring
Image
Recently, I was having a conversation with someone who moved to LA about the same time as me. We were effusing about how much we enjoyed living on the west coast, but he made the comment that it's incredibly difficult for him to mark the passing of time now. I... Continue reading

Ladies don't fart

My mother is Irish and German Catholic, and my childhood was filled with advice to try to get me to act more like a lady and less like my three brothers. I know it was a struggle Ma, but I think I turned into a lady after all. Pick up... Continue reading

As a Graphic Designer, one of the first things you fall in love with is fonts. I’ve been doing this for so long, you’d think that I would have collected enough of them by now. Well, yes, I do have enough of them by now, but that won’t stop me... Continue reading

Looking for some inspiration? Amy Butler has the cure.

Digging out of creative ruts
Image
This past last November I needed a major creative kick in the pants. Not about what I was creating, no. About what I was wearing. I had been freelancing and working from a home office for about 4 years and was completely and utterly disgusted with myself that I had... Continue reading

Quiet time. Winter's gift.
Image
I just got back from the midwest- seconds before the tempurature took a drastic dive bomb into the sub-zero zone. Everyone says they hate winter, but I REALLY hate winter. In particular, being cold. I have no tolerance for it. One of the perks to moving to the sunshine state;... Continue reading

Make art that sells: week four

The 4th week of MATS was all about wall art, and it was both a really fun week for me and a really frustrating week for me. It was all good though, I'll explain. Lilla encouraged everyone to really push out of their comfort zones and give painting a try... Continue reading

Yes Amanda! What's great about the outside perspective is that it's pushing me to create things I wouldn't have thought of- or even have thought I would have been good at- which is super helpful. The biggest thing though is just getting in the habit of making non-generated client work every. single. day. Even if it's some quick doodles in the morning. It's the biggest thing that is not only making a difference in my work, but in my mood overall day to day. I'm becoming a big fan of these courses and of creative couching overall. :)
