For me, an aquarium is simultaneously a sanctuary, meditation, and a means of self-expression. It inspires, calms, and provides an opportunity to create. #Aquarium #Meditation #Creativity #Sanctuary

Hyperfolk is a contemporary update to traditional folk art. It uses bright colors and digital manipulation to combine old folk imagery with futuristic technology.

"I do not want a computer to summarise texts sent by my friends into shorter sentences, as though the work of being updated on the lives of those I love is somehow strenuous or not what being alive is all about."

Writer and painter Joseph Earp nails it in this Guardian essay.

I just got the most fantastic idea: make an audio album of that book of poetry I put together, and let the text/print book be the lyric booklet. (I'm listening to an artist who did this on NPR.) #poems #creativity

"Vulgar display of power" by @tante

We're in the end times where anything of passion, dedication and love (human value) is strip mined to power vacuous (LLM) get rich quick schemes.

“I feel like we are nearing the end of times. We humans are losing faith in ourselves.” -- Hayao Miyazaki

Miniature art gallery encourages creativity
Tiny paintings are on display at a Free Little Art Gallery in Winnipeg. It's a place where people can share their artistic works, admire colourful exhibits, and take home a keychain.

Welcome to my lair. This is where I do most of my work. For the real heavy lifting, I sit at my desk to the left, on a genuine computer, but most of my days are spent in this chair on my iPad, thinking, writing, designing, and talking to people about their branding problems. It’s where all the brainstorming happens. I don’t sit down at my desk until I know what I’m doing. Then I just do it. Fermentation is a seriously underrated aspect of the creative process. #Branding #Creativity #HFS

Today in “Samuel Pepys’ Diary Reimagined”:

“Had some touching and uplifting encounters with kind people during the past week. Other than that, what happens outside the shelter that is my little flat is going in all kinds of wild and scary directions. Good news are few and far between, and hard to find. Despite all that, I’m working on a new song that keeps surprising me. Today’s gratitude: creativity can’t be muted or stopped by anything at all. In the end, it will find its way.”

So…whether you like generative images or not (heck, I’m not sure if I like generative images, especially not this way) we made a thing at my new(-ish) gig: https://preview.reve.art/ It’s the ways of making images AFTER this first foray that I’m most excited about, but “any sufficiently complex system…”. Check it out as you will and share what you’re able to bring to live?

'Part of being a revolutionary is creating a vision that is more humane. That is more fun, too. That is more loving. It’s really working to create something beautiful.'

I’ve been trying to think about how being an artist can help during these wild times in the world. I think it’s really just the same way it always work — we have to share what we make so that other people make things, too.

Bad times need #beauty and #colours. I started a notebook only for doodling because #meditation is too boring for me. It helps me to calm down after reading the news, to shift my perspective.

Against the #instagramization: I use a notebook for 2.99 E and cheap ink pens for children. You don't need brands or much money to be creative!

This year, Art for the Creatively Terrified will be running as two stand-alone workshops, combining two of the most popular activities from previous years.

https://richardjefferiesmuseum.sumupstore.com/product/art-for-the-creatively-terrified

Art for the Creatively Terrified (ACT) is a fun, informal art session for adults. With guidance and tuition from Suzie Simmons, you will create a unique, genuinely one of a kind series of artwork.

I've been commissioned again by the IDHC (Indigenous Diabetes Health Circle) to create some unique trees for an upcoming project...so grateful for the work in these challenging times!
