I’ve been in a creative funk for the last while, and the less I create the worse it gets. My head is full of ideas but it feels like there’s something blocking them from getting out and taking form. I keep starting projects and not finishing them because I don’t like how they look or where they’re going, or I just get stuck and can’t progress. And Just to clarify, I’m only talking about personal work here, client work is never left unfinished. 🙃

I’m sure a lot of creative people out there go through similar, and I think it’s totally ok to admit it. To make matters worse, for me it comes hand in hand with imposter syndrome. Yay! But it can happen to anyone, and it’s important to find ways to get out of it.

So I decided to do some simple and fairly quick illustrations of everyday objects just to make myself draw without having to think too much about composition, a “big idea”, colour palettes, etc. I think it’s already helping so I’m going to keep at it. 🙂 My model for this one was a broken plant mister I got cos it looked pretty. The pump broke after a short while so it doesn’t really spray anymore (hence the prrbt 😝).

All the toys your throw
I'll catch them right away! 🎶

All dogs are good dogs, but this boys is the goodest of them all! Dash is a rescue noodle horse who was born at and he (and his humans) agreed for his handsome face to be featured on this card in order to help raise funds for other doggos in need. A minimum of 30% of the proceeds will be donated to help other doggos like him who are still looking for their forever homes.

And here's your reminder to please please PLEASE adopt, don't shop! And of course needless to add, a pet is for life and not just for Christmas. 🐾

If you're still thinking of getting your paws on these cards before Christmas you better hurry!

Only 8 sleeps to go! 😱
