Hey art frens

It's okay, there are no algorithms here, you're not fighting to swim upstream any more  

You can sit here and just breathe and look at all the pretty things coming across the timeline while you take time to untie the knots that the other nastier places left in your creative muscles.

You don't need to perform here. You don't need to prove anything. You're valid even when you can't put pen to paper. You have the heart of a creative and that's enough.

*hugs everyone*

I saw one of our creatives here saying they're struggling with creative block because of all this, that they can't shake that 'need to prove myself' feeling.

I told them to take a pen and paper and draw a squiggle and take a photo of it and post it here, because it will be appreciated. Everybody knows this feeling.

I want to see your squiggles. <3

@pyromairon @Curator I like your squiggle! Mind, if I join in with my own?

@pyromairon @Curator Thanks! So here we go! The line broke in one place but that's the human part in it!

@MalteHollmann @pyromairon This reminds me of those 'one line portraits' in minimalism actually ^.^

@Curator @pyromairon We were playing a party game with friends a few years back. You had to draw a portrait of the person opposite you without looking at the paper! So yeah, it has the feeling of a portrait somehow!
