When They Leave

One must subsist!

Dunno about you guys, but when my wife leaves town for any period of time, things get a little weird around here. My eating choices are dubious at best, my memory of when garbage pickup-day is vanishes. Dishes pile up in places that make no sense. It’s quire the horror show.

There’s one benefit though. I find that I don’t sleep all that well when she’s gone. I wake up often with some cool art ideas that I write down on a pad of paper. In the morning I check what I wrote, and sometimes that stuff get’s made into a drawing or painting. Sometimes it’s just dumb, and I toss it, but that weird creative bubble happens almost every night when she’s gone.

The trick will be this: How can I create that ‘creative night zone’ ALL the time? Do any of you fellow creatives have a similar thing happen to you? I’d love to hear what you do to pump up your creative flow, and any unique ‘idea generation’ you can share.

Speaking of drawing, I started work on a new logo treatment for Frogpants. Pretty happy with it so far, but will be tweaking things for a bit longer. Here’s a sneak peak if you missed the tweet I did a few days back:

That’s it for today’s random thoughts. Hope you’re all having a great week. Here’s to good weather and good people! Speaking of good people, join the Frogpants DoGooders Discord if you wanna do some good in the world today.
