Some of us here at Artsavingsclub are compulsive fidgeters. While stress balls and fidget toys have their place in the world, we work with art supplies all day every day, so it’s only natural that we find a way to keep our hands occupied with them… And we aren’t referring to drawing or writing.
The nerdy nerd in my loves learning new things, but life has become so busy that time-management has somehow been overtaken by multitasking in an effort to gain some minutes. My previous love for reading has dwindled to listening to audiobooks while I draw. Well, that was the case until a good friend introduced me to podcasts.
Stealing is bad right? Well, yes, but there’s more to it, says Austin Kleon – award winning book author. His book “Steal like an Artist” is a New York Times Bestseller, and has inspired millions of artists worldwide. Filled with fun doodles and quirky diagrams, this small book is a fairly quick read, but with a lasting impact. It will provide you with tools and insights that will stick with you throughout your entire creative journey.
Other than a Pencil-Nerd I am actually just a self-confessed nerdy nerd and I have always loved learning new things. I was browsing around the App store on my phone, randomly searching for apps to do with Art, when I came across DailyArt.
I was lucky enough to connect with Mariaan Kotze – an artist who really inspired me with the diversity in her artforms and the bold imagery she combines to portray her vision.
