Celebrate failure. Take pics of your work to acknowledge successes and failures. Compare your work with successful artists to identify skill and knowledge gaps. Find a way to bridge them. This is the creative journey. #artmentor

Make a mark. Relate it to something else - another mark, another angle, an intersection. Determine a point of reference that is obvious and true from different perspectives. Relate it to an obvious second point. Then, a third. Triangulation. It fosters accuracy and efficiency.

Most people spend hours trying to chase inspiration. Instead, prepare and watch the inspiration flow naturally. The beauty is in the mundane and the process.

Honoring your art means making it a daily priority. Even with a full-time job, I carve out time to create, treating art as a second profession.

Distraction comes in many disguises. Stop striving to do everything solo. It's unrealistic to research and implement complex strategies, build a creative career, and hold a day job simultaneously. You will burn yourself out. #modularmentorship #sidehustle

The key to achievement is creating a situation that's just uncomfortable enough to spark your curiosity, steering you away from dormancy and distraction, but not so ambitious that your enthusiasm burns out in a day or a week. #goalsetting #okrs

If you are constantly unmotivated, you need purpose. When your soul is hungry, connect to projects that fuel your curiosity. Instead of starting at the sketchbook, start with a notebook. Writing about what you don't want is just as vital as writing about what you do want. #create

If you want discipline that lasts:
- Stop negotiating with yourself.
- Tie your art to a time, not a feeling.
- Make ritual non-negotiable.
- Celebrate showing up, not outcomes.
Your consistency is the art.
