The excitement we had as a 5 year old, running to our parents in the playground, waving a shiny new certificate at them... As a child, the approval of our parents is integral to our desire to achieve. As adults though, being a hyper-achiever can have drawbacks if we lack focus and clarity. Take a moment. Disengage with the need to achieve. Consider asking yourself: am I doing this for my benefit? Or for the ability to show others what I can do? Will my efforts move me closer to my own goals?

All the flowers of all the tomorrows are in the seeds of today. -Chinese proverb It’s been a tough two months! After causing much distress by slowing down on me to absurd levels, my iMac finally decided to throw in the towel and properly die off. I’ve recovered. Thankfully everything was backed up, and I’m now working on my laptop, attached to the Wacom Cintiq … which seems to be trundling along really well and the only problem is getting the colours right. But I’m finally getting back into art mode again which is a relief as I’ve missed it. First things first, after two whole months here’s the final page for the pieces that I’m doing for PAWA. It’s taken a while to get there but I’ve now completed all 10. I’m still trying to figure out the way forward with art, so will continue exploring and experimenting and diving into wonderfully messy therapeutic spaces along the way. I don’t have a plan, I’m just going to flow ... This is the tenth of a series of 10 art journal pages based around a ‘plant, grow, flourish’ theme, for a #PAWA10Give10 challenge (check out http://pawa-london.org/ or @pawalondon for more info).  _________________________________________ * The full video is up at: https://youtu.be/NvFWKbpPkUA All art and bullet journal process videos are up at Mariana Black Designs on YouTube: http://bit.ly/MBDyouTube All links via my profile page. _________________________________________ * SUPPLIES I USED @citrusbookbindery Chrome B5 Bullet Journal @schmincke_official watercolours @escoda_brushes @staedtlermars @edding_uk @uniball_uk Signo white pen _________________________________________ * #floatinglemonsart #artjournal #positiveart #artprocess #creativejournal #watercolour #arttherapy #creativetherapy #illustratedquote #joyfulartcreation #doodleaddict #dailycreating #selfdiscovery #mindfulness #EmPowerMeArt #selfempowerment #consciousawareness #editorialillustration #magazineillustration #illustrationNow #flowmagazine #PAWA10 #pawalondon #plantgrowflourish #artforcharity #educationforall #eleanorrooseveltquote #chineseproverb https://www.instagram.com/p/CE6fh0mHWtZ/?igshid=1ts2o3u1ngro9

“I am literally made of planet.” Wise words from Em von Euw of This Rawsome Vegan Life. Have you had a chance to read our fantastic interview with them? Em’s work is at the intersection of mindfulness, sustainability, and food. We talked to Em about allowing their blog to evolve as their values did, their journey with gender and body acceptance, and practical tips for transitioning to a plant-based lifestyle with self-compassion.

Another inspired piece by @guantesolo with another beautiful poem...."Small talk". For the story of the piece, at first I painted it in Coffee and I want happy with the results so I went in with my inks. This was the imagery I thought about....the Shell gone, leaving the back soar and a place to fester. . . . #guante #poetry #quote #illustrativedesign #illustration #illustratedquote #mushrooms #pain #soar #raw #scars #buttonpoetry #man #figure #figuredrawing #watercolor #ink #penandink #words #poet #shrooms #mushroom #mushroomillustration #natire #surrealism #sureal https://www.instagram.com/p/B7TcGFunJDH/?igshid=6sr5et9uvxgw

Another thumbnail sketch, uh a little bigger...guessing I needed to get the message. Should this be made into an even bigger painting? Lol.I haven’t felt lonely in probably 3 days but I’m sure it’ll be back around. There’s some stigma associated with admitting loneliness. But I think it’s healthy. I’m human. And when I name it for myself then I can address the need to reconnect with myself...if I think it’s about needing something outside myself, it’s called projection or transference. A pretty handy concept. Also the idea of “romance”, but I’ll save that for another post. . . . #sanity #romanceisdead #selflove #selflovewarrior #lonelyquotes #lonely #loveaddiction #goinside #loveaddictionrecovery #restoredtosanity #loneliness #lonelinessquotes #illustrator #illustration #illustratedquote #leafy #leafygreens #wakeup #wakeupprincess #soberlife #codependencyrecovery #codependency #narcissist #narcissisticabuse #sketch #sketchbook #visualquotes #princesscomplex #sober #recoveryquotes #loveyourself #leafygreen #selfresponsibility (at Springfield, Massachusetts)

Frida Kahlo's birthday anniversary a couple of days back got me re-immersed in her history and art journey. Her pieces are so real that I think it has become almost a rite of passage to reinterpret her style using your own. I think I'll keep Frida for days when I can't feel my art. Because 20 mins into sketching her structured face and the gorgeous florals and I find my way back. Hope you'll keeping safe! ✨ . . . . #fridakahloquotes #fridakahlostyle #fridakahlofans #fridakahloart #fridakahloillustration #botanicalpattern #botanicalpainter #floralsyourway #watercolorflower #watercolourfloral #leafwatercolour #leavesillustration #floralillustration #illustratedquote #letteringpositivevibes #mexicanartstyle #floralartnow #illustrationnow #tempuradesign #young_artists_help #artistfeature #portraitillustrations #floralcrowns #bewhoyouwannabe #powerfulwomenweek #feministart #femininemovement #feministartists #strongwomeninspire #danettegomesart (at Mumbai, Maharashtra) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCYY-XpjQIH/?igshid=g5moeypkltl2

I’m not my anxiety.

Posted @withrepost • @mellow.doodles My self worth has been wrapped up in my achievements and “success” since I was a little girl. I was pretty academic so I think this idea of achievement equalling worthiness soon cemented in my brain. ⁣ ⁣ This is all well and good if you do pretty well at school - but then adulthood hits and so does reality. And it’s a big, nasty shock. Because that’s not how being an adult works. We’re not in a classroom with a set answer to every question life throws at us. And it’s much more of a rollercoaster ride that we have to get used to riding. ⁣ ⁣ I still thrive off “achievements”, things going well or milestones. And I still think it’s really important to celebrate them too. I just have to be really careful now that I don’t tie my sense of worthiness up in that. Because even if a to do list isn’t being ticked and your bank account isn’t looking healthy, the internal stuff that makes you a valuable human being still exists. And that’s what makes you YOU - the person that you should be proud of everyday. At the top and bottom of the rollercoaster. 🎢❤️⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ~⁣ ⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #mhquotes #selfcompassion #mentalhealthquotes #selfcarewords #colourfulquotes #easterquote #kindnessquotes #selfcompassion #mentalhealthquote #letteringlover #peptalk #selfreminders #ilovelettering #letteringlove #letteringdaily #colourfulquotes #quotesandsayings #quotestagrams #selflovequotes #quoteprints #letteringprints #illustratedquote #womenofillustration #mentalhealthawareness #mentalwellbeing #mentalwellness #selfcarequotes #illustratoroninstagram #wordsoftheday https://www.instagram.com/p/B4Cps27npCF/?igshid=12o19acj1vcxi

Repost @sarahs_paper_garden • • • • • • I spent a lot of time today practicing hand lettering. I am not the best at it by any means but I am definitely improving! I used one of @charlyclements color palettes for this quick hand lettered piece, it’s not totally done yet but thought I would share anyway. Yay for practice! . . . . . . . . . . . . . #kickasscolors #handlettering #handletteringpractice #handletteredtype #handletters #cursive #cursivewriting #handmadefont #fonts #handletteredandloved #handletteredtype #procreatehandlettering #ipadart #digitalart #illustratedquote #letteringdaily #calligraphylove #handdrawntype #handletteredtype #handletteredtruth #calligraphycommunity #dippencalligraphy #illustrationartists #happylettering #handdrawntype #typespire #artoftype #brushlettering #brushletteringpractice #brushletteringnewbie #penlettering #ipadlettering https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu-JItfnQVR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12v10o0c5asbk

'It’s a new day . outside the box' A quick one. Playing. Allowing simple thoughts and new, different ideas to emerge … which is far more difficult than it sounds! But it’s time for that change: to experiment with a new way of thinking, seeing, a fresh way of looking at things. A lightness of being. Humour. I wasn’t really sure of what I was doing here, so I first very lightly drew the flowers and boxes and then picked the paintbrush up and just allowed things to flow. Joy. _________________________________________ * The full video is up at: https://youtu.be/wg5oS_NRjM4 All art and bullet journal process videos are up at Mariana Black Designs on YouTube: http://bit.ly/MBDyouTube All links via my profile page. _________________________________________ * SUPPLIES I USED @citrusbookbindery Chrome B5 Bullet Journal @schmincke_official watercolours @escoda_brushes @winsorandnewton black ink _________________________________________ * #floatinglemonsart #artjournal #positiveart #artprocess #creativejournal #watercolour #arttherapy #creativetherapy #illustratedquote #joyfulartcreation #doodleaddict #dailycreating #selfdiscovery #mindfulness #EmPowerMeArt #selfempowerment #consciousawareness #editorialillustration #magazineillustration #illustrationNow #flowmagazine #anewday #outsidethebox https://www.instagram.com/p/CE9PRFAn0S4/?igshid=1yav64900tpz

'I don't feel prepared for this.' I said 'Why do you think so pesimistically?' she asked. I proceeded to tell her how it was not a pessimistic point of view, but a remark that came from me knowing myself. Her face was blank so I stopped the explanation there. 'Be positive!' can be a good encouragement in some situations, but not when it's a means of hiding your less pleasant feelings. In fact, you can feel low and still be hopeful. You can be sad and know better days are coming. #infp #infppersonality #infppersonality #infpersonalitytype #illustratedquotes #illustration #quotesaboutlife #infpt #feelingsmatters #yourfellingsarevalid #mentalhealth #psychology https://www.instagram.com/wordsforintroverts/p/CTFM22Or-gY/?utm_medium=tumblr

Had the pleasure visit @newyorkacademyofart last night to listen to Conversation with the Critics. I know nothing about art critic writing so it was wonderful to listen to. @nicowheadon @laura_van_straaten and Melissa Smith on those work as Dexter facilitated and questioned these three bad asses. It was a wonderful opportunity to practice some sketchnoting :) . . . #sketchnoting #sketchbook #sketchbookartist #illustrators #illustratedquote #pullquote #GraphicRecording #penandink #inkdrawing #conversationwiththecritics #lecture #conversation #interview #nyc #newyorkacademyofart #newyork #artcritics #artcritic #notes #artjournal #artoftheday #dailyart https://www.instagram.com/p/B8ykM27le3l/?igshid=1x7nkx927v7xt
