Mmmm... Building, beauty, obstacles and resistance.
Things to make you go Mmmm…

"To encourage creativity by sharing more inspiration than any electronic artist.”
Three thoughts for your creativity and one on mine.
3 for you:
Piece by piece.
“Artists can’t capture everything about themselves in a single work, or reflect every side of themselves in every new work. You have to be a little detached from your art—enough to see what you’re doing clearly, to witness it, and to follow it. Take baby steps. And take pleasure in those baby steps. Even when you’re making it up, make it your own.” - Jerry Saltz
Create something beautiful.
"The test of beauty is not that it is perfect, but that it always attracts." - Alice Wellington Rollins
What’s holding you back?
"Things that keep people from fulfilling their potential:
Lacking the courage to try
Trying to please everyone
Imitating the desires of others
Chasing status without questioning why
Playing superhero and trying to do it all alone
Dividing attention between too many projects" - James Clear
1 from me
Creative Resistance.
“Resistance shows up right before the work that matters.
It sounds like doubt, distraction, or the sudden urge to reorganise your studio.
Notice it. Name it. Then keep creating anyway.
What you’re resisting is often the next breakthrough.”
Until next week
