Ok, there’s a little tornado in my routine. So far I was taking my good ol’ time with my morning coffee, then headed over my studio in the morning.

Tomorrow’s another day. 5 min gesture drawings Maybe it’s just too cold out- maybe the weather is freezing my creative mojo … Continue reading Creativity took a chill pill
