An Alternative to Going Overboard
in art & life
p.s. I’m teaching a weeklong workshop on Visual Storytelling this summer at Shakerag Workshops in Sewanee, Tennessee! Who wants to join me? Info here.
Thanks for reading The Habit of Art by Kelcey Ervick, a Substack Featured Publication (twice!). I love writing and drawing these posts and am grateful to everyone who follows along. I’m a writer and professor in Indiana. If you like this newsletter, you might like my graphic memoir, The Keeper, which was featured in the New York Times Book Review’s Holiday Gift Guide and is 40% off at the place that rhymes with I’ve-never-been-to-Alabama-zon. I edited a book on making comics and visual stories, which you can find here: The Field Guide to Graphic Literature (or here). I have other books too! Thanks for again for being here.
Above board, side board, and never bored. Your hair chaotically scrunched by the headboard? What a fun time watching you think/make art. Kind of the same thing in this case.
Literally just listened to the podcast on hidden brain about “Do Less” for the second time. It’s such a powerful rethink for me. Same wavelength over here.
