Berries & New Methods

Step 1: Outline ambitious goals.

• Write and illustrate a children's picture book
• Produce 2024 wall calendar

Step 2: Declare these goals to the world in the form of a YouTube video.
Step 3: Life happens causing an avalanche of non-productivity.
Step 4: Do anything creatively that still feels good.

• Sketch in the tiniest sketchbook so that I actually have a chance to fill a page.
• Start a sketchbook journal where I write/illustrate news headlines from my life. I try hard to miss the real news and focus on the quirkier stories.
• Make banners/garland to hang in my house. I've been posting a lot about these on Instagram.
  • Try out new mediums. My favorite being drawing with water soluble fountain pen ink and then strategically washing over certain spots with water.

Step 5: See if what you did can somehow accomplish the goals you outlined in Step 1.

• Scanning these berries that I plan to turn into a banner/garland gives me some fun ideas for my calendar and maybe even a creative way to illustrate a book. We shall see.
