it's not "am I good enough to do it?", it's "do I like it enough to be bad at it?"

Because what you do at first will always be crap. But crap makes good compost.

Drew this comic last night about something that happened while I was working on Cleo 6.

I was listening to an art podcast and I heard someone use “creative hibernation” as a term to describe a period of time when your creative energy and flow of ideas is slowing down.

Honestly, it sounds so much better than “art block”. To me, “creative hibernation” sounds less like a negative thing and more like an organic part of the creative process. 

“Art block” sounds very definite. They sound like something you MUST actively fight against to break them down in order to continue. “Hibernation” on the other hand sounds more like a thing that happens every now and then but that will go away on its own when it’s time. It’s a stage of gathering energy for the next creative pursuit. Art block on the other hand is an artificial, mental block that actually just seems to solidify the more you treat it like an obstacle to get around.

All creative people go through this type of slowing down all the time and it is completely alright. I thought I would share this because I think the right kind of mentality is actually one of the most important things of recovering your creative energy.

I needed this.

Oh.

OH.

Sage advice. See more highlights from Drake’s SNL.

Follow your dream

this is the most weirdly specific relatable comic I have ever seen

“i’m sad and idk how to feel better”

“i don’t know what to draw”

“i always mess up”

“BUT I SUCK”

LISTEN TO BOB ROSS.

Bob Ross was paid $0 to make his series. He made a living giving lessons IRL and later selling his own line of paints and brushes.

I apologize for not reblogging him as much but everyone needs this on their dash daily.  Seriously everyone needs this on their blog or wherever. Do they rerun this anymore or no?

We call ships ‘she.’ We call our war machines ‘women.’ We compare women to black widows and vipers. And you’re going to tell me it’s not ‘lady-like’ to scream, to take up space, to fight and demand respect and do whatever the hell I want. You’ve looked at nuclear bombs and been so in awe that you could only name them after women. Don’t try to down-play my power.

If u ever feel like your writing is terrible and hacky and stereotypical

Just watch the first episode of Partners and know someone got paid a lot of money to write that

shoot for the stars, y’all

‘someone got paid for that’ is how I fight off intimidation at my professional prospects, always.

When a musician/composer friend of ours had trouble getting motivated, Brett would show him some cable nature documentary and say “someone got paid to write that music.”  It usually worked.

Aiming for the top is great but there are some days where it just ain’t happening, and that’s when “well, I can’t possibly do worse than [x successful thing]” comes into play

God bless her❤️

No one does motivation like Kamala Khan.

This book is a gift.

We don’t necessarily deserve it, but there is NO WAY I’m giving it back!
