Today’s episode is a good one. You’re gonna love it. I know you’re gonna love it because it has Connie Solera in it. And Connie has a heart of gold. She’s a great teacher. She’s an incredible artist and I feel like she was put on this earth just to make everyone else better artists – she’s wonderful. Connie is also the guest artist for the season at Get Messy. And if you’re a Messian, and you’ve watched her workshop, you’ll know what I’m talking about. She’s amazing. She’ll make you amazing. Just listen to this chat that I have with her and I dare you to not run to your art journal.

Once again I am freaking excited about this week's guest on the podcast. This week it's the beautiful Karen Abend. She has a heart of gold and I'm really excited about our chat today.

In this episode we discuss the absolute magic of sketchbooks. We discuss how sketchbooks are the root of everything creative, no matter what you call them - sketchbook, art journal, notebook, junk journal... all of those good things.

I hope you play this while you are creating in your sketchbook, your art journal, whatever you call it. Let's all create together.

"You’re putting your life into it so that’s what makes it something special. That’s what makes you appreciate it and other people as well. It really doesn’t matter what you use and it’s funny to say that because I make journals and I’m very passionate about it because I think what you use can inspire you and be a very, very powerful tool to keep you documenting. But at the same time, once you develop the habits and the style and you develop the passion for it, then it’s not going to bother you what you use." – Johanna Clough

Today in a historical first, I am interviewing Johanna Clough. It’s historical because it’s the first time I am interviewing her, but also the first podcast she has been on, which I am excited about because I am a hardcore Johanna fangirl. I love what she creates, who she is as a person, and the encouragement she brings to the art community.

Johanna is an absolute delight. This conversation that we had is an absolute delight. You are absolutely going to love it.

"The only bad art is the art you don't make" - Amy Maricle

In this podcast, I chat to Amy Maricle about art with intention. Amy shares some of her most profound views on how to become more aware and intentional in your art practice. We discuss what it means to be mindful, how mindfulness changes your art, being zen about thinking big and letting go, the inner critic, Amy's weaknesses, and how to be an artist

As always, Amy is just bursting with insane wisdom.

"Mindfulness is about being aware of what is actually happening in the moment instead of getting caught up in the many things that might be going on inside your brain" - Amy Maricle

If you want to be an artist, if you want to create a lot of work and for it to be a part of your life - you do need a creative habit. It doesn’t need to be an hour every day.

In this podcast, I chat to Anika Lacerte about creative habit. As someone who is currently on her 9th 100 day project, Anika is kind of an expert at it. She shares her top 16 ways for fitting art into your life every single freaking day. Check out the show notes to download the PDF and keep it with you to refer back to.

“It’s not always a magical moment but I’m choosing to show up. Whether it becomes magical or not is irrelevant.” - Anika Lacerte
