Facing the conflict within our own mind

Do your dreams feel trapped within your mind? Are they bursting at the seams to escape the confines of your inner subconscious? I once read that our dreams are ideas we have when we are not putting up barriers and reasons why it will not work, or more damagingly why I cannot do it. We all face this conflict on a daily basis, but there are some dreams we have that just keep banging on the door of your heart, screaming for your attention. And if the heart doesn’t listen the ide

There will be clouds ahead, but I will choose what kind.

The trials and tribulations we face have answers we sometimes do not wish to see. Words cut deeper than any object and truths can deliver a deathly blow to hope and dreams. But know clouds of anger and self defeat will not clear your spirits sky. For dark clouds feed off anger, envy and defeat. They fill and swell, hanging heavy over your shoulders, like the world weighing you down. Do not feed these clouds. Never allow the clouds to grow. Each drop of rain from these

Without challenges, you will never know what you are a capable of achieving

Every challenge we face really tests our limits of persistence, character and ambition in life. Are we willing to settle for what we have right now? or do we strive to overcome obstacles which will help us understand what we , as individuals, are truly capable of. As you move through life you notice people who seem content to stay where they are whilst others never stop trying to improve themselves.

Only you can add paint to your canvas and only you choose the colours that are applied. Influences will affect your choice, but only if you let them. Not every stroke is noticeable to the external viewer but you know it is there, deep and with meaning, it has a purpose. Not every artist knows where the strokes will take

What was going on inside your head?

Occasionally you come across someones work and what draws you in is not the finished product but rather what was going on inside their mind at the time. It is usually one or two pieces that spark this reaction with me but with a young Illustrator from Italy called Lucia Carriero, or Nonnetta as she likes to be called, you stop and wonder if there are deeper issues coming to the surface. But art often expresses fear or sadness even if an artist is happy, it’s just the way we’r

The Sketchbook Project – A truly inspired idea

Some of the best advertisements in the world are the most simplest of ideas. Ones that you smack yourself on the head and think why the hell didn’t I think of that it’s so obvious. With some people its often the simple or obvious ideas that they miss purely because they feel they must have been done or, like humans do a great job at, we look for a more complicated option. This idea of the sketchbook project is fantastic and well worth watching the movie Enjoy! Visit the websi
