“Anne was sitting at her open window...as she drank in the beauty of the summer dusk...The eastern sky above the firs was flushed faintly pink from the reflection of the west, and Anne was wondering dreamily if the spirit of color looked like that…” #GreenGables 🎨 Peter Ilsted

Create what only you can create. Do not worry is it good or if others will like it. Just create. Create what is rooted deep within you that needs to find expression in whatever form it takes.

@Inkybat That is utterly bizarre & fascinating & kinda scary. I can totally see you illustrating this story, Eric.

A crow exploded behind our house last night when it sat on a transformer putting out our lights for hours. About a hundred crows gathered for some kind of screaming funeral we had to shout over even in the house.

@Jessicawhippl17 One of the best books on writing!

Anyone read this? I'm enjoying it so far.

@inkyelbows Random routine that I wish could become more regular. These days I’m more protective of my creative time, having had to deal with way too much interruptions in the past.

"I shall pass this way but once; any good that I can do or any kindness I can show to any human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer nor neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again." ~ Étienne de Grellet Village Road (1883) 🎨 Georges Seurat

Today is #NationalMeadowsDay! 🥳 The loss of our uplifting hay meadow habitats in the UK makes my heart hurt, so I want to share with you the secret for turning your lawn into a mini wildflower meadow for *free* 👊 🧵 (1/9)

Creativity is revolutionary. It is resistance against a culture that too often prizes utilitarianism. Art offers questions & questions authority in all its forms. It offers possibilities & hope. It reminds us why we are here in this brief, beautiful life.
