Hello my friend and welcome to this week’s blog. If you’ve been following along, you’ve seen my recent videos on how to use Adobe Illustrator. Since I've done a couple of them already, I thought I’d back up for a second and show you my specific settings inside Adobe Illustrator. You may not be able to replicate my settings 100% but we should be able to get pretty close.

I'm excited to share another demo this week. Let’s create a very simple print using just one of the motifs from our illustration last week. As you follow along, if you’d like to get more detailed steps, download my free 3-part video series on how to make your 1st repeating pattern.

Welcome to this week's blog. This is part two of our little mini-series about healthy habits with a specific focus on how to stay healthy and engaged as a creative during the entire course of the year.

Welcome to this two-part series about healthy habits for creatives. These are healthy habits for anyone, but they are particularly helpful for creatives. This week we’ll focus on the importance of a morning routine. And next week, I’ll dive into evening routines which are also very helpful.

Let’s talk about encouragement, specifically as it relates to your creativity. Have you ever felt a little bit stuck or like your creativity has dried up, all of a sudden? It happens to all of us, from time to time. And I have three tips for you to help you move through this.

I think it's very important, especially in a year like 2020 has been, that we actually reflect on what we have in our lives that we can be grateful for. We are approaching the Thanksgiving holiday here in the U.S. No doubt it will be different this year like so many things. However, that doesn't mean that there isn't a lot for us to reflect back on and to be grateful for.

Welcome to this week's blog. I want to share something that I’ve discovered during this challenging year which is that what you focus on is how you feel.

These tips work for me and I hope they will work for you too, especially when it comes to your creativity and helping you when you feel creatively stuck.
