As we approach the Zodiac Art Challenge May 1-12, I'm super curious what all your signs are! Drop yours in the comments:) Regardless of the extent we believe in astrology, the zodiac makes for GREAT ideas for new art and creative inspiration🔥 ESPECIALLY combining different zodiac elements into a new kind of creature;) At the end of the day, the heart of the challenge is this....👇👇👇 𝘿𝙍𝘼𝙒 𝙈𝙊𝙍𝙀 𝙊𝙁 𝙒𝙃𝘼𝙏 𝙔𝙊𝙐 𝙇𝙊𝙑𝙀, 𝘾𝙍𝙀𝘼𝙏𝙀 𝙈𝙊𝙍𝙀 𝙊𝙁 𝙒𝙃𝘼𝙏 𝙄𝙉𝙏𝙀𝙍𝙀𝙎𝙏𝙎 𝙔𝙊𝙐, 𝙄𝙈𝙋𝙍𝙊𝙑𝙄𝙎𝙀 & 𝙄𝙈𝘼𝙂𝙄𝙉𝙀 𝙒𝙃𝘼𝙏 𝘾𝙊𝙐𝙇𝘿 𝘽𝙀! That's it! Nothing has to be 'accurate' in this challenge...because just like art....IT'S ALL MADE UP! It doesn't mean we cannot respect and honor what's been done and 'assigned' to us in the past. We absolutely can. So be traditional if you want, or be wild and unexpected! Let's have fun and PLAY with it, too!😃 PS, I'm assuming you ALL know your Western sign by heart LOL...but I've attached reference for Chinese/Vietnamese, Egyptian, Native American, and Celtic zodiacs for you to pull from as well. ) PPS. There are other zodiacs out there, just as interesting and unique as the 'common' ones. I encourage you guys to explore and add in whatever lights you up! ✨✨✨

Here's a great exercise for creative inspiration, called 'Stacking Motivations.' It's simple: Make a detailed list of at least 25 things you are deeply curious or passionate about. Then combine 2 or 3 numbers on the list and see what else that might inspire. I created this list in 2019, and have recently added to it. Whenever you're not motivated or feeling uninspired, always look to your list...it'll never fail you;) 🔥

I've asked this here before, but I think this is such an important question to revisit, OFTEN;) What feels closest to your true WHY as an artist right now? Let me know any further thoughts in the comments. 👇

Reminding you guys about the power of continually stoking the fires of inspiration to motivate your creativity.... and ultimately your well-being!;) Drop at least ONE comment in the chat of something that inspires you 😊 Could be a photograph, a movie, a show, a drawing, a painting, poetry, or music. ( and if you get stuck, go to your Pinterest page LOL;)

Some of you got the cryptic challenge post from yesterday... ....and a few of you gave me some great ideas to add to it! ;) The May 1-12 art challenge is: ZODIAC ♈️⚖️🐐🐍🐉 And I mean FULL ZODIAC🔥 ( more info in comments) The guidelines for the challenge are simple: Create a piece(s) of art that represents ANY of the Zodiacs! Could be your sign, a sign of a loved one, a sign you WISH you were ( lol), or a WHOLE NEW SIGN based on combinations of existing signs. Add your own spin to existing signs, or keep it traditional. Add new symbols, patterns, sacred geometry, and sigils to your art! Go wild, colorful, COSMIC!! Fully express your INFINITE creativity!!! Join me live on Skool this Saturday at 12 pm Central to hang, make art, and talk about the challenge!!! Add to your calendar HERE 👈
