I have a bunch of notes in my notes app that's just gibberish. Going back through them, I have a “frog tomato”… ?? What about you?

Reminder that touching grass has better creative ROI than doomscrolling Who would have thought 🤔

I refuse to believe my fascination with astronomy, tea, and German architecture is useless. There's a creative project in there somewhere, I know it!! drop your 3 interests + what you’d make with them in the replies 👀

sometimes i think about how bizarre it is that we can just… open an app and have access to 900 people’s opinions, someone’s breakup, fake news, a stranger’s dinner, and a guy explaining why you’re wrong about something you never said Anyway, happy Internet Self-Care Day! Enjoy some tips :)

Photography is such a good creativity exercise you start noticing details, collecting textures, looking at things differently, taking 47 pictures of the same leaf for some reason… Happy Photographers Day! go take some pics of things you think are pretty/weird/interesting and see where it takes you

I love when two completely unrelated interests accidentally become friends. Like, why is this documentary about mushrooms giving me character design ideas? I don't know!! but is my mushroom girl coming out super cute? absolutely!!

Working from home is great until you realize you’ve been sitting for 4 hours, water untouched, eating lunch over your keyboard So yeah. Work From Home Wellness day!! Stand up and go look at something that isn’t your screen. I am saying this to myself as much as anyone else lol

I have been reading about deep sea creatures lately, and I'm curious!! What's one topic you could happily spend hours learning about, even if it isn't directly related to your creative work? (Unrelated topics lead to super cool ideas usually)

it’s Book Lovers Day so I had to make a list of books that altered my brain chemistry 3 nonfiction + 3 fiction books that I adore! if you’ve read any, tell me what you thought👀 & if a book has ever fundamentally changed you, drop it ⬇️ because Im always looking for more books to add to the pile!

It’s Happiness Happens Day today so here’s your excuse to do something that makes you happy for no particular reason :D Get a lil treat. go outside. play a game. pet an animal. make something. listen to the song you’ve had on repeat for 3 weeks. whatever works for you!

This is your official permission slip to write down all the ideas you don't write because “they’re too dumb” The point of divergent thinking is to generate many ideas and decide what's actually useful later. Sometimes the weirdest ideas end up becoming the best ones :)

Every time I hear someone say "I wish ideas would just come to me" I have to resist the urge to point at my phone filled with weird thoughts & cool pics. Most ideas are usually 2+ random cool things I've seen/thought about bumping into each other like months apart :’) Everyone can have cool ideas!

I know I’m not the only one 🌈
Text reads:

MAY I ALWAYS
REMAIN THE PERSON WHO TALKS TO ANIMALS, COLLECTS RANDOM TREASURES, PAUSES FOR SUNSETS, PICKS WILDFLOWERS, AND WHO DOESN'T MIND BEING A LITTLE WEIRD.

working on a background for my future youtube videos!! Its going to take me a long time to fully paint this, so in the first few videos you might just see this sketch as a place holder and a small improvement or piece painted in the next videos until its eventually done 😅

This is not a “discipline over everything” space. This is a “nervous system first” space.
