5 Tips for Undertaking a Daily Creativity Challenge
Starting a daily creativity challenge can help you grow so much as an artist or creative as well as help you kick start your creative juices. Here’s some tips to help you get underway with your daily creativity challenge.
Inside My Studio: 100 Day Project 2016 Is In The Books
I wrapped up the 2016 edition of The 100 Day Project at the end of July and, just like last year, it was a terrific experience that served to remind me of many of the lessons I learned in 2015. I didn’t blog about it much here because, let’s be frank, I haven’t blogged much about anything this year – although I am trying to be consistent
Inside My Studio: The Art of Repetition and Practice
Has everyone heard of the 10,000 Hour Rule by now? It was put forward by author Malcolm Gladwell with the reasoning behind it being that in order to become really really good at what you do, you need to put in 10,000 hours of actually doing it. Yeah. Being gifted has nothing to do with it. You actually have to get off your butt and
The 100 Day Project 2016 Edition
I was really looking forward to taking part in The 100 Day Project again this year after having such a great experience last year. But as April edged closer and no word came from The Great Discontent about the 2016 edition, I started to get a little worried it might not happen.

Happy Easter!
Today’s post is a quick drop in to wish everyone a Happy Easter! Things have been quiet this month – I’ve been sick with a nasty head cold and SamTheDog has been battling a limp on his front right leg which has necessitated strict rest and a lot of vet visits. We’re still not sure what’s wrong but it’s being treated as a soft tissue
Inside My Studio: A Valentine’s Colouring Sheet Download (and a giveaway!)
Valentine’s Day is only two week’s away and so today I’m actually ahead of the game for once! I spent some time this month putting together a fun Valentine’s colouring download for you all to try – the 2016 version of Valentine Heart Art! And… and… I have a cute colouring book giveaway as well! I haven’t really done an “inside my studio” update for
Inside My Studio: Crayons, Markers and Pens For Colouring and Doodling
One of the most common questions I get asked, mostly on Instagram, revolves around what pens and markers I use for my 10 Minute Doodles on Instagram and my bigger art projects. I know when you walk into an art supply store it can be frightfully overwhelming to a newcomer (or even an experienced artist if you’re moving to a new genre!), not to mention, there
What 100 Days Can Do
What can 100 days do? No really… what can you do in 100 days? Where does it get you? I mean… it doesn’t sound like much. Anyone could do 100 of anything. 100 jumping jacks. 100 photographs. 100 words. It’s such a small number that it feels totally achievable and yet, so achievable that it almost creates a “why bother” attitude… it’s not enough to really
