On this lil episode I talk about minimalism ... how getting rid of all me tings and having more space, appears to bring with it a feeling of peace, and hopefully in time, an increase in balance and focus :)

Another lil one this week about minimalism ... I will say, the Surface Pro is so much fun for drawing on, and I've only been doing random little sketches so far :) Can't wait to get stuck into it, but first I need to declutter my room, which is what this podcast is all about

Minimalism

or as I like to say, getting rid of all my tings :)

On this lil tiny episode, I talk about a strange experience I had last night while meditating with my eyes open for the first time. I saw something that sent shivers down my whole body ... I saw the light bulb on my ceiling flash on and off. No idea what happened there, but it left me in a strange conflicting state of awe and argh ... oh, and I also briefly talk about my time with clip studio paint pro, drawing on the Surface Pro 2 :)

Only a lil tiny one this week, eww err, lol This weeks lil podcast is all about a strange experience I had last night while meditating with my eyes open. I've never done that before, but a few minutes in, I saw the light bulb on my ceiling flash on and off ... still makes me feel a bit strange just thinking about it.

I'm currently trying to work out what happened, but wanted to share it on the podcast, as it's such a bonkers experience! I also talk about my first hour messing about with Clip Studio Paint Pro on the Surface Pro 2; hopefully more about the Surface Pro 2 on next weeks show :)

On this episode I talk about Lucid Dreaming again ... Lucid Dreaming and Art seems like it could be a powerful combination. I had a crazy idea of trying to meet lilSOPHIE, one of my custom characters, inside of a lucid dream. I talk about my first attempt on this episode ... I think it might be possible, having already experienced holding her lil hands :) I talk about some of the fun things I'd love for us to do together, like Posing, Sketching, listening to her lil Stories and getting to know who lilSOPHIE really is, so I can pop back into reality and bring her to life :)

This podcast was going to be about balance, but at the last moment I changed it, as I had another Lucid Dreaming experience I wanted to talk about, involving one of my custom characters lilSOPHIE. I really do think Lucid Dreaming and Art could be a powerful combination :)

I talk about some of the fun things I'd like to try out in dream world, like having lilSOPHIE pose away, so I can than wake up and  bring her to life in a drawing. It sounds fun, but I have a feeling she's going to make me work for it first lol

On this episode I talk about Finding Focus ... or at least I try to, it's funny, this podcast is about focus, yet it's the most unfocused one I've done yet lol Thoughts are everywhere, but hopefully you can find some bits of wisdom in here somewhere. I'm more talking to myself during this episode, about how I'm struggling to focus on my Art at the moment, ways I'm trying to create new habits and a little bit about discipline, plus there's a bit of spirituality thrown in for good measure too; this is weird one :)
