We made it to Spring! Chicago didn't have it too bad this winter but I'm still looking forward to warmer weather and outdoor street festivals. Let's get right to the big news from March, I relaunched my online shop! If you haven't checked it out yet make sure to pop on over and note the free US domestic shipping (sweet!). If you've been meaning to decorate the walls of your home or office, original art is a great way to do that. And bonus if you're in Chicago you're supporting a local artist (contact me for local delivery options).

Here's the March creative wrap up:

Relaunched my online art shop (see above)!
Went to the Flair Chicago wresting themed art show "Time is a Squared Circle" and got myself some new pins.
My resketch kickstarter award arrived, perfect size to carry around in a purse.
Listening to: I discovered the Art History Babes podcast and started taking a deep dive in to the past daily episodes of Side Hustle School

A peek at a new (reworked) item coming soon to the shop

If you have been a follower of my work, you know I struggle constantly with finding creativity. My most common thought/concern is- How is this unique, what will draw people to this artwork? In the Internet age it is so easy to get overwhelmed with imagery. While it's great to have inspiration, it can also be a bit daunting. Thoughts of "well my work isn't THIS good" can hold me back, but does eventually turn in to "well, I need to work hard even harder to make my work THAT good" . Turn the doubt in to motivation!

I recently started listening to the Smart Creative Women podcast. I love hearing about how other people work. A peek in to everything from how they got started in art- to their day to day routine. I love hearing even the boring bits (setting aside time to administrative duties, etc), all of it.

Do you have any creative podcast that you listen to? Please let me know in the comments!
