As artists, we’re constantly creating for clients, commissions, or algorithms — but what about creating just for you? In this episode of Art After Dark, Kristi and I are diving into the importance of personal projects: the kind that spark joy, teach you something new, and remind you why you love making art.
✨ We talk about:
Our favorite past personal projects (and what we learned)
How personal projects differ from art challenges
Why “making art for yourself” isn’t selfish — it’s essential
How to find joy again when your art starts to feel like work
Making time for creative play even with a full-time job
💙 Whether you’re painting tomatoes, block printing on Sundays, or sketching just for fun — this episode will inspire you to follow your creative spark without guilt or pressure.
