Emanation, Monotype of the Day #160
Tomorrow is another day. My goal is to post before midnight! Send me some good energy and thoughts. As my favorite children’s book taught: I think I can, I think I can, I think I can! I must get more sleep! xo.

Often, my pieces portend my future. This bodes well for me, maybe I will start getting more sleep! Coming soon, monotypes posted before 2am!

the artist feels boxed in, Monotype of the Day #148
I’m conflicted about the title tonight. “the artist must listen” or “the artist doesn’t want to listen” or even “the artist is pissed off” All three can be true. But in the end the artist has to deal with their resistance and does listen so the title is:
