And let’s face it: whether we identify as creatives or not, we all know what this pretty rubbish state of being feels like.

This blog post presents 7 ways towards feeling less alone as a creative. And the best part is – perhaps counter-intuitively – many of these can be done without interacting with a single other human in real time.

Get MessyCreating Authentic Art from the Inbetween with Rachael HelmoreRachael is my friend in real life. Not only is this episode proof that I have friends, it's also an exploration into what creating art in the "in-between" looks like. Rach is someone who says things that are so profound that I have to whip out my notebook in real life to write it down. I knew that we had to record one of our discussions for the podcast. This particular chat centered around what living as an artist means, practically. Looking for space to grow, but still giving ourselves safety. Using all the different bits of life, taking what...

Get MessyFollow Your Curiosity with Pete DeMarcoI had never thought of photography as art. I had always thought it was just for logical people following a very precise way of doing things. It felt like the opposite of creativity to me.
Enter Pete. Pete sees creativity in a way not unlike my own - as a looping rollercoaster with no end goal and just the journey to go with.
Turns out photography is something where you can achieve creative flow and freedom and turn something into your own. All the best bits of art.
Photography is where you get to follow your curiosity.
