I guess one can't really have too many brains so, in addition to the one in her head, we put another one onto Julia's arm.

I think this would also have made a great giant thigh piece, running down the leg - but you know us tattooers, you give us your little forearm and we always ask for MOOOOOAR, BIGGERRRR... ;P

Where would you put your brain if you could choose?

Process shot... The use of your hands in repetitive action is neurologically proven to be calming. If you're in a state of stress, if able to, doing something with your hands, like the dishes, mending a hole in a favourite shirt, or drawing patterns and lines, can help your nervous system calm down. I think this is one of the reasons I love creating abstract art so much. It calms and rebalances my system... When I'm stressed thinking of a concrete image to draw can feel like a massive chore even if I am craving creativity. Abstract creation allows me to leave expectations behind and move freely in the moment. #freeflow #neurological #creativebrain #therapeutic #therapeuticart #creativeexercise #abstractdrawings #abstractmixedmedia #mixedmediaabstract #mixedmediadrawing #mixedmediapainting #colorfuldecor #colouredpencil #oilpastels #whitepaint #artflow #artflowsessions #freemagic #lightworker (at Walthamstow, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ-cfLyrl6S/?utm_medium=tumblr

Without freedom of choice, there is no creativity , no life.

I’d love to see what you can create with paper!! Any type of paper and any type of statue or fashion or whatever...! The options are infinite. 👁‍🗨♾👁‍🗨 . This was a creation from a project I taught in my recent online Skillshare class. It’s African-fashion inspired and all made with paper, magazines and sharpie some staples and adhesive. I chose a headdress but anything was possible!! ���🏽‍♀️👍🏽🗒🖊✂️. . #paperplay #paperarts #paperproject #artiseasy #easyart #funisproductive #creativebrain #creativefun #virtualartclass #artforallages #inspired #oozeinspiration #oozeinspo (at Placer County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFych6_DafP/?igshid=13ywlxamllyvs

I’ve always been in awe of a painting my mom has of my memaw. (Swipe to see the painting) I wanted to see if I could replicate it digitally and boy I am proud of how I did. 😍😍😍 This is Elvie Cabler.

I drive past this every day en route to the barn. And every day I think “baby elephant”. Yesterday I said so to the ManPerson. He replied, “I guess. If you have a creative mind.” #uhyeahido #literallyhowmybrainworks #creativebrain #treestump #babyelephant #everyoneelseseesitright https://www.instagram.com/p/CAqhrbaDKM_/?igshid=94okxx8ddwit

A Series of Things That Make Me Well

At the start of every year I make a big list of all the things I want to learn and grow creatively. One of the points I always ponder on is figure drawing. Back when my creative work was more art focussed I would draw and paint people quite easily. But time can make these sort of skills a little rusty. 

So I’ve started a personal project to get that creative muscle working again. Based around the different activities that bring me a feeling of calm and wellness, Im hoping it will give me a chance to combine my illustrative style with my ambition to draw more people. It is also a project that allows me to contemplate how I look after my wellbeing in regards to how hard I work and the development of my creative work. Sometimes I need a reminder to take a few minutes away from working on the next big thing.

I find being outside is a great way for me to recharge my batteries so its seemed like an obvious starting point. Both running and walking provide a good mental reset when i need to improve my mood.  These illustrations were created using a combination of procreate and photoshop. I’m enjoying the challenge of creating an entire scene digitally and having the ability to edit the little people in the wilderness until they are set in just the right place. ​

I’m not sure what direction this series will take me but even if its just a record of things to remind me to look after my self better it will be a worthwhile project.  Sometimes focussing on your health and happiness is the best way to make your creative work improve.

Waking up my creative thinking. Step one.

What is it about the first step that can make a new endeavour so hard? Even unachievable.  The stony silence of the blank page. The indeterminable dread of the empty spreadsheet. The mysterious darkness beyond the lighted path. Your mind grappling with where to place your foot: How? When? Where? Should I? Can I?

I am experiencing this first-step fright as I undertake simultaneously to begin a journey to develop my creativity, whilst at the same time developing learning to help others do the same. Two wise people recently said to me, on two separate occasions, "Stop going on courses and trying to get more qualified, you banana*! <my addition*>  You have everything inside of you that you need. Just start." (You know who you are @ TanyaVanderWaal and @LisaLinfield.) It was just the kick in the pants I needed.  

So here goes.

I have this weird sense that my whole life has been a slow process of waking up. I love waking up. Let me clarify. I love waking up to being aware of new facts or understanding something that I didn't understand before. Whenever I learn something new, I take a mental look around and think, 'Wow, how have I not known this before? I've been fast asleep in relation to this. But, I'm unconscious no more. I see it now!'

As a learning experience designer and facilitator, I love watching people wake up to new things; seeing the proverbial 'lights going on.' It's a privilege and a joy to be part of that process. There are mini wake ups, like from little naps, where a salesperson grasps a handy new selling method or a manager connects the dots between her role and the company strategy. Then there are the big wake ups. I'm talking about Sleeping Beauty waking up from one hundred years of a strange coma requiring no life support or cryogenic freezing. It's the wake up you feel when you recognise a hidden motive in your life, discover a real talent or unearth your true purpose.

Waking up your creativity thinking is a big wake up. Not just because it's so thrilling but because at a neurological level, when we start firing up our brain to think creatively for a specific task, we are training it to think creatively in other areas too.  The new brain science is fascinating but a bit too big of a subject to get into here. Suffice to say, recent studies  show that when you think creatively, the 'Big Three' networks in your brain (the default network; the executive network, and the salience network) start to operate as more of a team. When  researchers from Harvard, Yale and others last year compared brain scans of people engaging in creative work compared to those that were not trying a creative task, they found more connections being made between the areas commonly associated with those three networks. So waking up creativity starts to rewire our brain and build new connections that help us to think differently in the future.

What I love is that the creativity spills from the area that you are focusing on, to other areas in your life. If you start expressing your creativity in a hobby, you will see that creativity starting to come out in your work. When you get creative with your kids, you'll notice your creative problem solving starting to improve.   Waking creativity is an ongoing process that is a virtuous circle. Starting to experiment with your creative thinking begets more creative thinking. Yay!

Come with me! So although I think I do some creative thinking already, I really want to boost my creativity and see what happens.  It's an experiment! It's not going to happen overnight, I know. It will involve some persistence, grit and hard work. But right now, I'm all about the small, little steps for today. One day at a time. I'm psyched for this ride. I invite you to be a travel-buddy with me as I apply some of the many great tools, exercises and practices out there to develop creativity and share with you what works for me. Bon voyage to us!
