Dumb Ways to Die

I laugh every time I see this.

Do you?

Thanks, Ira, again! :-)

From Ira

Here are 29 ways to stay creative. Stay creative, whatever you do in life.

Just Smile

SHE: What are you drawing?
ME: Whatever comes to mind.
SHE: Is this what you are thinking? That's a bit worrying.
ME: Is it?

THE CLOCK

Thanks, Samu, for pushing me all the way.

Day 3. Diamond Jubilee

I finally did some serious drawing today. And thinking. And sketching.

I have a lot to do. I have a lot of plans. I am enjoying it. I am looking forward to the next day, to getting involved in the various processes, creating, finding answers to my own questions. Taking those steps ahead.

Gergő was here, which was good, we showed him the Alternative London Tour, which he loved. For me, this was the third time, which might sound crazy, but actually, on each tour the guide was different (Gary, Doug, now Josh), so their stories were somewhat different, and most importantly, the art work on the streets change constantly, from month to month (probably from week to week too). Anyways, great fun.

Today there were celebratory boats on the Thames, diamond jubilee and all. I was pleasantly surprised by the website's style. Anyways, feel free to message the Queen.

Day 2., Research

I need to do a bit of research. Or lots. Opening an etsy shop has it's difficulties. What products should I have? How much freedom do I have in the design of the shop? What sort of design would be best? Have I found the right name? I can at least answer that last one. It took me a while to find the right name of the shop, so am sticking to that one now. No, not telling just yet. But will announce it when I am ready.

Also reading the etsy blog, this is my current favourite.

So now researching techniques and trying to make the most of the pens, papers, notebooks, sketchbooks and various materials I already have before I buy something new. Painting on tiles caught my interest, I am researching that too. Might need to find an oven to bake them all in.

So many ideas, so much freedom. Loving it.
