I'm celebrating a decade of consecutive daily art!

10 YEARS OF DAILY ART!!!

〰️

10 YEARS OF DAILY ART!!! 〰️

I just completed year 10 of my daily creative habit! Here’s what this past year looked like…

Every year on the anniversary, I share what all the years collectively look like too. And since most days I created more than one piece, it’s probably close to 5,000 images.

I started by creating in the margins. Stealing time here and there.

And soon enough momentum came.

Momentum brings habit and habit bring change.

I went from a 10 year art hiatus, to now 10 years of daily art.

Never underestimate small daily deposits.

What do you want to accomplish?

On episode 132 of Creative Chats podcast, I share some insights on what I’ve learned along the way these 10 years! Give a listen:

Here’s my collage of all 10 years of daily art… (kinda fun to look at!)

Start with what’s in your hand

Start with what’s in your hand.

It just might be seeds of greatness, but to you, right now, it looks like something so small and useless.

Don’t be so enamored by huge dreams that you don’t use what is before you today. Remember what seeds are. They are beginnings. They are carriers of dreams, hopes, and our desires to make great things that can impact the world around us.

But if we never plant them, they won’t be able to do what they’re supposed to do. They won’t take root. They won’t grow.

They need to go into the dark, cold ground, where sometimes it seems like we’ve buried the dead. But they are waiting for the right time to burst forth with new life, and fruit.

Don’t give up. Don’t wait for the perfect time. Don’t despise humble beginnings. Use what’s in your hand right now and plant it where you are.
