I like your story and the navy blue background is perfect. I subscribed and gotta get to reading and seeing your art. Happy Art Year and art’nt we creative.
I started doing this back when I was working on my wordless picture book, Pandamorphosis, more than 10 years ago. I kept putting these things on my to-do list, and they were just too big, so I never actually got them done. Then, I'm not sure what bit of advice finally got through to me, but I decided to break it down in time rather than project. Like "work on story board for 30 minutes" and when the 30 minutes was done, I could work on it another 30 minutes, or call it a day.
Now, my hour or so when I first get up and have my coffee is spent at my drawing table, either working on comics or whatever book/illustration project is trying to be made.
I love your art diaries you share here. They are inspiring me.
I love how you say that just before midnight, "something shifted". We can't really force it, but sometimes if we let go, or maybe it's that we get out of our heads and into our bodies, there will be a shift and we JUST DO IT.
dear kelcey,
thank you for this!
i'm planning on writing one joke a day this year.

This is why I love substack. 😊
I recently discovered Flannery O'Connor. And I'm wanting to start a regular art practice! Great post.

Thanks for the shout Kelsey! The art habit is one of the best parts of life!
I needed a kick in the pants to start up again. Thank you!
Love this! You inspired me and a friend to do the draw-every-day thing a few years ago. I'm not doing it daily but...still doing it.

Don't mean to be plugging Nike here 😅
Love your style ❤️
