mental block
We've all heard it. we've all experienced it. yet it always seems to take us by surprise. the minute you get excited about progress, a project, a new venture, the shit comes raining down trying to dampen your spirits. More often than not, I experience this with my art. I get a new paintbrush and can't WAIT to try it out. but then. what do I paint? what if it isn't good? what if I'm wasting my money on art supplies trying to pose as an artist but I'll never actually be any good? Truth is, I already am good. I just don't allow myself the space to see it. I'm overly critical of everything that I produce which makes starting the next project harder, and harder, with every completed piece. It's time to recapture my creative spark. I've joined an art class learning techniques I'm interested in. No more fear.
My favourite beverage (it’s not coffee, it’s not tea!) and my latest arrival from my Redbubble shop! I’m so happy how the motif and the colours turned out!! . Now, whilst sipping my “Raja’s cup” with almond milk, I’m waiting for an idea, staring at the laptop in front of me. I have already walked away from it several times today — I walked the dogs, I scrubbed my horse’s winter fur, I cooked a nice meal with the humble aubergine and some red onions, I photographed the perfectly thin onion slices, I took a nap ..... now it’s already early afternoon, and I still haven’t done the “one-thing-a-day”! . Oh, @bonniechristine, I can’t wait for the mentorship program to properly begin! I’m a little bit lost on my own right now! But at least I can say — I did turn up! . Anyone else out there who feels the same? Give me a shout x . . . #creativeseverywhere #artistsinlockdown #artistsblock #artistsoninstagram #flyinglow #waitingforinspiration #immersion2021 #surfacepatterndesign #surfacepatterndesigners #andreapricedesign #identityisfluid https://www.instagram.com/p/CO2whlMnMY3/?igshid=9i4eupzcokap
How’s your current project coming? Maybe it’s going well, or maybe you’re feeling stuck at some point in the process. Whether you’re feeling apprehensive about starting, or are mid-project and suddenly don’t know what to do next, we all get stuck. The question, then, is how to get moving again. If you’re in that spot and could use some help, I’m accepting coaching clients and would love to talk to you about how I can help bring energy, confidence, and joy back to your creative process.

Being so scared that you just want to hide under your blanket isn’t a good reason not to do things. Ugh. I’ll try and do things tomorrow. Today, the blanket won.
TL;DR - Merry Christmas! Peace and Goodwill to all! Actual TL;DR - my brain is broken, thank you for helping me pick up the pieces (and Merry Christmas too). For those who know me, I always like to post a Christmas doodle to wish festive cheer and good vibes to everyone. Every year I complain I have nothing to put on paper but something is always produced. This time, I genuinely have nothing. It's been a year, this pandemic has really taken a toll and even the tiniest negative situation feels like it's been magnified ten-fold. The main thing that's kept me going is the care and love I've received from my friends, and the constant reminder to myself that whilst things may not get better, it'll hopefully get to a point where things are ok. I hope everyone was able to celebrate this festive period in one way or another with their loved ones, be it family and/or friends; see you all in 2021 for a another year - hopefully an ok one. #christmas #blankpage #frustration #artistsblock #positivefuture #loveandcompassion #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness https://www.instagram.com/p/CJPcSGnpFkM/?igshid=kde88pgxkc76
