Is there life on the page?
In a world awash with illustration and art theory, is there a better way to judge whether a drawing is any good?
Read nowI've been journalling on this website once per week for almost 4 years. It began as a personal project and a practice I could consistently return to to understand my progress as an artist. I never thought it would end up being one of the most important parts of my artistic practice but now I cannot miss a week. I've learned more from writing and reflecting than I have from drawing.
This journal needs more space – the space it deserves. I found myself trying to find articles I knew I had written, especially when asked about common problems younger artists encounter in their art practice. The new space not only gives each post room to breathe, but it makes entries more findable and filterable. bookmarkable and, hopefully, more illustratable.
