Do you have a box of treasured momentos, a drawer of unfinished artwork or a notebook of ideas you never quite started and definitely didn't finish?

Author and illustrator Carson Ellis tells us how she uncovered a forgotten journal from her 20s and how it informed an entire series of work, with a little help along the way from some other past projects.

This interview is creative inspiration for how to tell stories using pictures, capture nostalgia and perhaps even create art today as a time capsule for the future.

EPISODE DESCRIPTION:

Everything changes. Platforms. The Economy. Seasons of Life. 

What do you do when these changes block your path in such a way, that no matter how you look at it, you can’t seem to find a path forward? You need to get distance to find perspective, but you can’t always press pause and escape to a two week vacation anytime you get stuck. In this episode we talk about the research backed power of the journey mentality and how to access its perspective shifting magic.

This is episode 1 of our ongoing Creative Journey Series.

A chat with Yoni Wolf of the band WHY? - I have been a massive fan for YEARS and you've heard their music every week on the show! You may also have heard more of the the band in our Right Side Out Series.

This episode is for you if you are sick and tired of waiting for someone to let you do the creative work you want to be making, if you need inspiration for how to put more of yourself into your work or if you need a fresh helping of that feeling of why we do creative work at all - and stick until the end for a CTIA called NO MITT FOR THESE PITCHES on the mindset shift that helped me go from a place of fruitlessly pitching tons unsuccessful book ideas to publishers and into a place where I’ve been consistently making books for the past four years!

The creative brain is amazing at coming up with infinite options and connections, but sorting through and choosing which options are best and should be focused on is a totally different skill.

In this episode we talk to incredible Illustrator and Youtuber Cheyenne Barton, right in the midst of working this stuff out for herself. At the time we talked, Cheyenne was feeling overwhelmed in her practice and I found the vulnerability of this chat to be a real gift. If you’re burnt out or feeling overwhelmed, this snapshot will help you feel less alone in it and may just give you some tools to overcome it!
