☕️ It’s New Year’s Eve. A time for reflecting. When we boil down what we’re doing here in your inbox, it’s you probably have questions that you think I might be able to answer. So let me offer you this prompt.
What are the questions you are most interested in?
You can reflect on these on your own, or share it in the discussion thread.
Take some time to ponder the question and maybe in the new year we can quest for some answers!
Thanks, Adam, for this generous and intriguing prompt. I hadn't thought before about what questions I might be waiting for you to answer. Here are a few that came to mind:
How do you build a sustainable creative career? (Both practical tips and a personal individual story are interesting.)
How do you keep a daily creative practice and make work you are proud of that also pays the bills?
How does a professional artist think about creativity, great work, inspiration, community, and other wild card factors we might not even know to think about?
What does a professional artist do to nurture their best life?
Such great questions, and so personal, which is intriguing for me, I will use this as many of your other insights as a guide, thank you, and Happy New Year!
I'm glad they were helpful. I also wonder what questions professional or aspiring children's book illustrators (and other artists) on this list have. I'd love to read those, and hope they chime in. Their questions may be different than my questions. Happy New Year!
