So I find myself at somewhat of a crossroads. I’ve just wrapped some client work, a few recent art opportunities didn’t quite pan out as expected, so I’m now looking down the barrel of ... nothing to do.

The space to play and the time to make What 4 weeks and 40 sq m means to me. The more I've settled into my 'artist' identity, the more I've been frustrated at not being able to actually do it. www.carolinebeavon.com/play_record/

Here's one I made earlier ... I'll be moving into Mid Street Lab gallery in Kemptown Brighton for a month next week to make NEW scrollytelling, interactive and projected work in a studio area. But alongside that will be an exhibition space where my existing work will be on display #brightonartist

Bold neon text reading "HERE'S ONE I MADE EARLIER" overlays a grungy dark-brown background filled with glowing yellow, wire-like plant forms and floating stylized eyes, giving a playful, psychedelic DIY vibe.

I'm never going to be ready ... Perfection being the enemy to getting s*** done ... and all that Ok - so I have a 4 week residency coming up in Brighton (I may have mentioned it! haha) and I'm having to do some brain-management.

Bold neon-yellow text reads "BUCKLE UP FOLKS, ITS GOING TO GET BUMPY" over blue-green starry light projections on a dark room wall, creating a dramatic, playful warning.

Why can't we all just get along? I've been showing my digital work in group shows on and off for over a year now... and I've noticed something. Some people really hate technology.

Be careful what you wish for ... For a while now, I've been craving some space and time to mess around with my art practice. And when the opportunity came up to borrow Mid Street Lab, in Kemptown Brighton, I jumped at it. www.carolinebeavon.com/play_record/ #brightonartist #scrollytelling

Glitched cyan halftone portrait of a person wearing glasses, overlaid with large neon pink-and-yellow text reading "BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR," conveying a bold warning about unintended consequences amid digital distortion.

Conference time! I’ll be showing off my super-weird #scrollytelling piece Scrollbook at #evolve26 tomorrow in Brighton. Come and find me and I’ll give you a teeny tiny sticker. + I’m up for chatting about creative projects, collabs, paid work and why you might need a pet artist of your very own

Can I continue to keep my design and art practice separate? They're the same thing right? So why do they belong in different parts of my brain? The creativity from my art practice feeds my commercial work ... which itself pays for time for me to play.

“Art shouldn’t need a disclaimer.” Ouch. Instead of letting my work speak for itself, I’ve been over-explaining, justifying it before it’s even done. Why am I so quick to show the rough bits and talk about what’s coming next? More on Substack:

I straddle two creative worlds: design and art. One is about solving problems. The other is about exploring them. One pays the bills. The other keeps me sane. They're getting closer together. Will they meet in the middle? Watch this space. #CreativeProcess #ArtVsDesign #FreelanceLife

I'm so bad at asking for help ... collabs have always been a no-no. But turns out it's not about losing control - it’s about making something bigger than you ever could alone. I’m learning this the hard way. Post coming soon. Sign up here: 👇 buff.ly/uCJm5Gu (Substack) #creativity #collaboration

Somebody once told me “I don’t want to see your work-in-progress. I want the full reveal.” You see, I overshare my creative work - but is my craving for feedback spoiling the surprise? Did some oversharing on this Substack:

Am I killing my own work before it’s even finished? I send screenshots too early. Share ideas that aren’t fully formed. Ask for feedback before it's done. I get that rush from sharing, but what if I'm ruining the magic? Read the ponders on Substack: buff.ly/8txqaDz

It’s been ages since I sat and doodled on the beach. Neon oil pastels, Crayola crayons and colour pencil #Sketchbook #artist #art #doodling #artistsonbluesky #oilpastels

page featuring a colorful, abstract humanoid figure with an oversized, swirling head in shades of orange, pink, blue, and purple. The figure has a small bird-like face, a rounded body, thin legs, and is wearing sneakers. The background consists of expressive, swirling lines.

A double-page spread in a sketchbook. On the left, a rounded figure with a long braid, dressed in a robe-like garment, has their head tilted downward. On the right, a hooded figure in a baseball hat stands against a swirling sun-like backdrop in orange and pink. Art supplies, including markers and pastels, are visible in the background.

A close-up of a sketchbook page featuring a ghostly figure, partially outlined in blue. Their face is partially obscured, with pink and blue shading. Jagged, mountain-like shapes in the background, drawn in black and purple, frame the figure. The texture of the pencil and pastel strokes is rough and expressive.

A sketchbook spread featuring two figures. The larger central figure has long, wild orange hair, pointed ears, and sunglasses. They wear a long dress with a structured, almost robotic silhouette. Their outstretched arm appears to gesture or direct. A smaller figure, dressed in purple, stands to their side with a neutral expression. The drawing has strong black outlines with pink, blue, and orange shading, giving it a surreal, layered appearance. Art supplies and pebbles are visible in the background.

I'm a serial oversharer of my creative output. And sometimes it backfires. So now, I do this: - Am I after feedback or just a dopamine hit? - Wait 48 hrs - am I still excited? Go for it. - Does it need context? - Ask - why do I love it? - Choose my audience wisely. #CreativeProcess #ADHD
