I’m chatting about Michael Brennan's “Making Fun a Habit” series and how when we embrace the giggles, we’re way more likely to keep creating. Seriously, whether it’s cracking up over a silly cat video or recalling that time you dressed like a neon clown for a concert, humor is the secret sauce that spices up our artistic endeavors. So grab your favorite snacks, kick back, and let’s explore how finding what tickles our funny bone can transform our creative practices into a joyous adventure!
What happens when we blend art and humor? Well, if you’re tuning into this delightful episode of Create Art Podcast, you’re about to find out! Timothy Brien takes us on a rollercoaster ride of creativity, laughter, and self-deprecation. The heart of the discussion lies in the Making Fun a Habit series, where he emphasizes that if we’re having a blast creating, we’ll likely produce more. So, he challenges us to find that funny nugget within us and inject it into our art. The premise is simple yet profound: humor is subjective, and what makes us chuckle can fuel our creativity in unexpected ways.
Timothy opens up about his personal preferences in humor, revealing a taste for the edgy and the absurd, while sharing stories that’ll make you giggle and cringe at the same time. He shares his adventures with Monty Python and the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, both classics that showcase how humor can be both timeless and relatable.

He also encourages listeners to consider how their friends might perceive their humor and art, suggesting that sometimes our closest allies can provide the best insights into what’s truly funny.
As we meander through this comedic landscape, Timothy offers practical tips that transform humor from a mere concept into actionable steps. From keeping a humor journal to spending time with funny folks, these nuggets of wisdom remind us that laughter can be a powerful tool in our creative toolbox.
