July 5th 2018 Looking back at my earlier drawings compared to now has shown me that slow persistent effort is the only way to develop yourself and any skill. I think you could accelerate the pace in that one drawing a day is exceedingly slow, but mastery itself is more than just being skilled at something, its about building a tolerance for consistency, patience and focus. Nothing comes easy, but if you go slow you can develop anything almost effortlessly.

Showing Up
I draw everyday to practice making without judgement and to show up regardless of the outcome. For me this process is liberating and it allows me to value commitment over the outcome which frees strain on a creative act. It has taught me that you can turn just about anything into a habit, and if done for long enough that habit can become a trait. When we show up everyday for a commitment we have made to ourselves we can begin to see growth. But in order to do that we have to quit worrying about where we want to be and be where we are, because even showing up takes practice and every time we fail we try again. #dailydrawing #continuousdrawingproject #showingup #habits #practice #art #life #makingthings

Vantage Point
We are in a culture of sharing where we can expose everything from what we eat to how we shit. Regardless of what we find to be interesting information, sharing in of itself is valuable and may even be essential. We are in this very intense period of time where the world is growing ever more complex and its my belief that the more vantage points we are exposed to, whether they be trivial or provocative, provide us with a larger understanding of whats going on in the world. Insights into other peoples daily lives continually exercises our ability to see things from other perspectives, a skill that will be essential in solving the issues we face. #perspectives #exposure #wordstonooneaboutnothing #streamofconciousness #continuousdrawing #continuousdrawingproject #daily #concistency #dailydrawing #exquisitecorpse #doingitdaily #dailyhabits #dailysketch #pensketch #penart #boldart

Getting Over Yourself
I've found that the biggest barricade that I've had to sharing my work has been getting over my own insecurities of how it will be received. One of the main reasons that I started writing was to exercise this uncomfortably. I used to have the idea that some people are just born with the confidence to share the work that they do and feel totally free in the processes of doing it. Sure there are natural performers that love center stage and those with inflated self confidence, but more often exposing yourself is something that just takes practice. Fear of rejection and criticism is largely in your own mind and changing how you respond to it takes practice. #practice #art #continuousdrawing #continuousdrawingproject #daily #concistency #dailydrawing #exquisitecorpse #doingitdaily #dailyhabits #dailysketch #pensketch #penart #boldart

Smoke and Mirrors
On social media its easy to make life seem perfect, ourselves seem big or our work important, wanting our former classmates to see us as successful and our former partners to see us as happy. There's an art to this I've come to realize, and building desirable illusions about ourselves has become our cultures favorite pass time. I'm not trying to judge or condemn this because everyone does it to some extent, and there might be some truth to faking it until you make it where you eventually evolve into the concept of self you present yourself as. I just think that its important to remember not to mistake the reflection in the mirror for the actual person being reflected. #randomshitithinkabout #continuousdrawing #continuousdrawingproject #daily #concistency #dailydrawing #exquisitecorpse #doingitdaily #dailyhabits #dailysketch #pensketch #penart #boldart
