back to the drawing board: Bunn Bunn

JenniferKatheiser: Mission, KS, United States; I got this idea from looking at Design Sponge when I saw a tiny postcard painting by Justin Clayton. He had the noble idea to paint one small painting everyday (and they are quite beautiful ones I might add). I thought his idea was very inspiring and seemed like a great way to give myself an assignment as I work my way into illustrating and painting once again for myself and not just for my work assignments. My dream since the age of about 10 (like many drawlers) was to be an illustrator. I am realizing more and more it is important to do what you truly love every day, so I am starting to draw again - every day. I am inspired especially by Lisa Crum, Jon Katheiser, Amanda Kindregan, Kimberly Rottmayer, Illustration Mundo Podcasts and Illustration Friday. I see what they are doing and it makes me want to be who I want to be. Thank you! If you once thought you might want to grow up to be a "drawler" and you feel you want to get closer to that again (and you got far away from your own voice because of time or circumstances or you got scared or whatever), I would love to hear from you and go on this journey with you! (or at least just be in support of your journey along side you).
