Start without Fear
When I was younger, I used to be nervous starting a new sketchbook. There was actual fear of starting that first page because I wanted the drawing to be perfect. You see, I used to think that a sketchbook was a show piece, whereas now the book is all about experimentation, reflection, and self-therapy. I'm OK making mistakes in my sketchbook. I'm good with trying stuff out that doesn't work. This book is for me. Think of your life as a sketchbook. A blank book to put beautiful ideas into reality.
I am mostly a solitary person, so why not title the book, "Une table pour un" (A table for one).

Leave It On The Floor
Who needs a drawing table? Sometimes people give themselves reasons not to start something. Any excuse. "I need the newest sneakers to exercise." "I need a drawing table in order to draw." This month, set aside any excuse, any reason not to start something. Give yourself a small challenge and stick with it. It might surprise you where it takes you. Last year, I gave myself a challenge to draw everyday. I only intended to do it for a week. I have not missed a day. See what I mean about small challenges? Welcome to August.
I don't own a drawing table. I draw at my kitchen table, my computer desk, or sometimes on the floor.

Setting the Tone
The new year begins. When I was a kid, I would get excited about the new year because I was curious as to what new music and movies would come about. This year I am more excited about creative endeavours. Hopefully you too will be excited about the things you will create. A photo of my current favourite cup. Vancouver, British Columbia.
