Create what only you can create. Do not worry is it good or if others will like it. Just create. Create what is rooted deep within you that needs to find expression in whatever form it takes.

@inkyelbows Random routine that I wish could become more regular. These days I’m more protective of my creative time, having had to deal with way too much interruptions in the past.

Today is #NationalMeadowsDay! 🥳 The loss of our uplifting hay meadow habitats in the UK makes my heart hurt, so I want to share with you the secret for turning your lawn into a mini wildflower meadow for *free* 👊

Creativity is revolutionary. It is resistance against a culture that too often prizes utilitarianism. Art offers questions & questions authority in all its forms. It offers possibilities & hope. It reminds us why we are here in this brief, beautiful life.
