Introducing Studio Notes

One of my core creative purposes is to share, communicate and build connections with other creatives. Sharing requires that I think through what drives me and clarify the ideas for others before they're lost into my subconscious. I believe when creative ideas hit the air and other artists respond to them, a delicious soup of inspired energy comes about!

So to this purpose, I'm reviving my email studio notes. These are derived from the notes to self that I ponder in my sketchbook journal.

I really recommend keeping a sketchbook/journal yourself. It's a place that contains your inner art vision. In fact, it's the place where you work out that vision. It exists as a work in progress, an ongoing conversation with yourself about art. I really believe it's your super-power to making better art.

Here are some of the things I collect in my sketchbook/journal and work through in the studio:

* color studies

* personal mark making

* self awareness insights

* themes/ concepts that interest me

* art assessment and analysis

*techniques

I'll be sharing more about these in the coming weeks. I hope you'll find these studio notes thought provoking, and maybe even put your own two cents into the mix!
