Watched this earlier and felt compelled to blog it and suggest we be praying for Katharine Welby……
If you know people who suffer from depression, don’t overlook it or trivialise it…..pray for them if nothing else!
I am notoriously quiet about my work and I repeatedly shy away from portfolio’s and public displays of my work…….but, then I do mention certain things from time to time…..
I’ve said it before haven’t I? I am as much introverted as I am ego-driven so I need to be both quiet and noisy at the same time and in equal measure……which is not always easy…………if you haven’t noticed that in my online behaviour by now you probably aren’t paying attention very well.
Anyway, I haven’t got a defined method for this kind of thing……and what I mean is, I don’t always sketch ideas first because sometimes I just see things in my head really clearly and, other times I will vomit out an idea from within……..
[I don't literally vomit when I get good ideas]
I guess what I am saying is that I don’t like to pin down how I create into a routine or a defined method……….creativity cannot be contained or placed inside boundaries can it? I don’t think so anyway…
That said, I have the ability to work amazingly well under strict time limits and, can pull a ker-massive rabbit out of a tiny little hat when I don’t even believe it possible myself. I probably shouldn’t say that….
I promised myself this post wouldn’t become frilly or a dirge of words about work!
So, this is a rocket…..sketched for a project but not used. [sort of]
How do you work through ideas?
Sketch pad? Notebook? Wipe board? Blackboard?
I’d love to hear your methods….
Some good questions for us perhaps…..
How do I typically react to correction?
Do I pout when criticized or corrected?
What is my first response when someone says I’m wrong?
Do I tend to attack the person?
To reject the content of criticism?
To react to the manner?
How well do I take advice?
How well do I seek it?
Are people able to approach me to correct me?
Am I teachable?
Do I harbor anger against the person who criticizes me?
Do I immediately seek to defend myself, hauling out my righteous acts and personal opinions in order to defend myself and display my rightness?
Can my spouse, parents, children, brothers, sisters, or friends correct me?

…..maybe….for now anyway…
What new[ish] music are you listening to lots of this week? Or what new music are you looking forward to this month?
Seriously though! I just had a very first go with the Bamboo Tablet & Pen late this afternoon and, naturally one has to draw oneself at times like this……I did it very [sort of] quickly!
But, hit me with inspiration….perhaps sites I should check out, resources etc??
I’m pondering what to do with a ‘skill‘ iv not delved into until now
