The Daily Creative Habit Journal

Creativity is a journey. You might be just starting, returning after a time away or seeking a more significant and authentic expression. This creative journal is designed to equip you to consistently show up for your own creativity and lead you to make discoveries in the process. The daily framework comes from Creator & Communicator Mike Brennan’s own creative journey. Having had a ten-year art absence and suffering from depression, Mike made a creative comeback of over ten years (and counting)of consecutive daily creating. With this creative journal, you will learn to establish a daily creative habit of your own!

What Do You Do When the Art Market is Slow? You make more art, of course. Hey Reader The other day, I found myself in a room (that I may or may not have snuck into) and decided to play with some iPhone photography settings—because why not? Creativity doesn’t wait for perfect conditions, and neither should we. What you don’t see at an art market? The hours of prep, the set-up, the awkward conversations (or long stretches of none), the customer interactions, the tear-down, the load-out, and...

A Story About Logs, Waterfalls, and Creativity Hey Reader Have you ever felt stuck? Like you’re sitting in the middle of constant motion—ideas swirling, opportunities flowing—and yet, you can’t seem to move forward? I’ve been there. In fact, I was there not too long ago. And while I sat by a waterfall at a local NJ coffee shop—a spot where I used to go to think—it all came flooding back. You see, I once noticed a log lodged at the top of that very waterfall. It was surrounded by a powerful,...

And I get it—we live in a culture that tells us to know our worth, to make sure we don’t undervalue ourselves. But somewhere along the way, that can turn into posturing. No one wants to be seen as paying their...
