It's that Time of Year Again!

Hello Lovelies!

Yes, January rolled upon us and it's New Year's Resolutions Time again!

What are your goals for this new year? I just want to stay creative, preferably every day.

That's why I take part, since 2010, in the challenge called "Creative Every Day". To get things rolling, I will share with you today the process of me, drawing.

Here's the first sketch:

And here's the final drawing (poorly scanned, sorry about that).

And a reminder for the weekend:

Enjoy!

Reflections On 2011 & A Poem for the New Year

Hello Lovelies,

via

I went through lots and lots of files and images yesterday, some saved from the internet, some snapshots I took myself during the last past year and realized I had actually accomplished a lot, even if my etsy shop may still seem small.

Here are a few quotes i find encouraging this time of year for all who start over, take the leap and leave their day job for a more creative outlet.

After the inspirational quotes (more this pinterest board of mine), also comes a poem. And a lovely one at that.

I also want to share here in this blog more of what inspires me, more of my daily doodles in my art journals and more of actually finished work. Maybe throw in a healthy recipe or two, from time to time?

Inspiration For the Upcoming Year

Hello Lovelies!

jeltje fotografie via the style files.

I love Victoria's post on inspiration boards! I keep a couple of them myself. One on a wire above my home office desk, the other is simply... on my fridge.

I long to rotate and change the images on them for the fresh, new year to come!

Here are a few of my favorite things, that will inspire a new home office and mood board (mine is far too cluttered right now!).

Here's a look at my own personal "lab" as it looks like right now (c) Vic Lipson

I need to tackle all those papers!

Fave smell: almond (plus it's allergens-free!)

Fave song of the moment: "Song For Anthony" by Siobhan Wilson

 Siobhan Wilson's first album, "Songs" - as photographed by me, Vic Lipson.

Fave colors: a combination of almond, sage & apple greens. Like in this image:

And a touch of Orange.
