A Day in the Life of an Illustrator

Despite being excited this morning by the prospect of an enjoyable Monday, I found myself procrastinating heavily throughout the day leaving me feeling… crappy. I found it particularly challenging to switch tasks without reaching for my phone to check for emails, news or missed notifications and/or scroll aimlessly through Instagram and TikTok, hoping for a spark of inspiration, engagement or interest – despite looking forward to the next task. I also kept sitting down to read my new book, ‘The Priory of the Orange Tree’, a rather addictive read.

A Month’s Neglect! Let’s Catch Up

Somehow, I’ve missed FOUR Monday Minutes & I’m rather disappointed in myself for that. Missing one or two? Fair fair, but a month’s worth?! I should note that two posts were culled before they were published during this time, due to a severe lack of creative content, so actually, I’ve had your best interests at heart. ;p But that is the thing, I simply haven’t been creating as much of late. In fact, my routine has changed up quite a bit!

Big Questions Answered? – Monday Minutes

It feels like we just did this, right? (& I apologise for the grammatical errors in the last email, I really shouldn’t write these things at night!) But it’s Monday and I have no excuses today – except that I do feel rather poorly. I think I may have picked up a minor stomach bug because food just hasn’t been sitting well with me over the past few days. Consequently, it’s been a little challenging to get into the swing of things today. I thought maybe a #MondayMerger challenge would help … but it felt laboured, despite selecting something as simple as a cake.
