A big part of making art is DESCRIBING things on the mental, written level. Define IN WRITING what your sign wants, or fears, or protects....( or ALL 3!) Remember, this is getting into the 'psyche' of the sign, this is a NEW ENTITY that has evolved to help you in 'REAL LIFE.' For example, my dragon-wolf and his fish friends are ALL ABOUT PLAY & EXPLORATION! They fear NOTHING! ( except the fear of not having a good time LOL) And so, they 'protect their PLAY'! Because personally, I've lost that sense of play for a while now. So THEY embody this, to remind me to PLAY more. What is your NEW SIGN asking of you? WRITE THAT OUT. And in the process, this will help you embody that more....AND...will help with the actual art and design moving forward;) 💜🎉💥🎨

Happy Saturday, everyone! Ready to draw your Chinese sign today?! ( steal some ideas below;) I'll be on Skool Live at 12 pm Central drawing /answering questions if you'd like to join! LINK PS If you're struggling to make art lately, do this: 1) Set a timer for 20 minutes 2) Make some art! Seriously, that's it! I meet so many people who say they don't have time for their art. ( EVEN JUST 20 MINUTES!) And I think, 'jeez, if you don't have 20 minutes in the day to do what you love, you need to reassess your LIFE!' ;) 20 minutes a day over the course of a month is 600 minutes. Imagine where your art can go if you did this for a month...or a YEAR?!! Make time for your art....and it will make time for you...you get it💜

I finally got up today… I was a bit busy over the weekend. Some of you might understand… family life. Anyhow, So my western sign is Leo. My Chinese sign is Ox. My mayan sign came up owl?! Playdough them together and what do you get… the hell if I know! LOL!
