Lovely thoughts to start the year, Nino, thank you! One particular part of environment I’ve started cultivated this past year, and want to do more of: a ‘scenius’, people around me who are in a similar creative field, or somewhere off it, who I can bounce my ideas off and who bounce their ideas off me. The term scenius was coined by Brian Eno, I think, from the Beach Boys, instead of a ‘lone genius’, he saw the magic of a scene.
Thank you for sharing this - so many good bits of advice. I find having a set time to sit down with my sketchbook really works for me (after dinner, while my husband starts the dishes)
Thank you for your post, it has really got me thinking about where I get my daily doses of creativity starters. I can really relate to the ones you listed and have one of mine to add. I seem to get lost in a time warp of art (art journaling and drawing) and sewing when I listen to true crime podcasts. I go for hours and have no idea how much time is passing, I'm just happily arting partially listening to horrible crimes. I have no idea why this sparks such a creative flame in me, but it does!
