Today I started to draft a genius post about how we can set up the perfect conditions for cultivating our creativity. It was going to be full of earth-shattering insights. That post was going to change the world. Yes sir. So, um… have you noticed how clean my bathroom is? Pretty impressive, wouldn’t you [...] Before I begin writing, I must give credit where it’s due – to the wonderful new friend who (perhaps somewhat inadvertently) gave me the idea for this post. You know who you are! This morning I revisited a magical place where I had spent some time roughly a year ago. The place is [...] Ah yes, my fellow Northern Hemispherians, good news: summer is upon us. Summer is one of my favorite seasons, and not just because recent studies have confirmed that more cool people are born in the summer than in any other season.* There are loads of reasons to love summer: 1. Longer days and more [...] Now before anyone accuses me of “discouraging people” and “saying bad words in blog post titles”*, let me explain. When I first started writing this blog, I had to come up with an image for a header.

Sheesh. This here ceramic frog hangs out in our bathroom, on the little shelf below our mirror. He’s one of several frogs I’m just noticing inhabit our house. But he’s by far the biggest – [...] You know those days when it feels like something’s not working for you? Those days when you really want to change something, right now?

DIY stands for “Do It Yourself.” And I think you should. Here’s a secret: this blog was officially started last month. But it has been at least two years in the making. Why? Because I wanted it to be perfect, of course. Actually, I had written a good four blogs and deleted them before [...] I’ve been gone from the blog for two days. I’ve shirked my duties! What a shirker. To be honest, I was gone from a lot of things for two days. They were two very hard days. I was caught up in a moment of panic. It felt like so many fluttering birds trapped around [...] |
This site is a record of my (almost) daily creativity practice. It's mainly silly drawings with commentary. Or silly writings, with a chance of illustrations. If you want to know more about this site, click on this picture of me in a tomato-red Fiat Cinquecento.  |
