This episode is about making art and sharing it without social media. If you want to take a break from social media you can still share your art in other ways and grow with the artists around you SidequestGive an artist or creative friend a call and talk about art together Love you ✌️

We are back talking about traditional art, crafting, and how we can find creative sparks in our art and in our life.
I’m like that dude on the journey who’s like hey here’s a quest if you want to do it well here it is…Sidequest, If it’s been a while since you’ve drawn in a sketchbook, or written or made music. Set aside 5 minutes and just start without expectations or having to meet any bar that any has set: Have fun with it. Doodle and Dabble!
Love you all see you later! ✌️

The shortest episode A glimpse into the mystical world of Anthem Where spirits roam the woods

A little snippet thought about belonging. I think true belonging is not just fitting in, is being accepted and loved for who you are

Start all your projects at the analog station, digital can come later Quotes from Austin Kleon. This analog-digital theory is one that holds true with the creation of Star Wars, Lord of the Rings and Kubo and the Two Strings. We definitely need to spend more time with the analog.
