I was on pinterest last week, getting stuff together for some client moodboards, and I kept seeing loads of my old stuff.
So, totally inspired by my old self, I put together a little moody board of my own. All the little techniques I'd forgotten about will now be dragged back to life this month.
I posted my alphabet on the gram every single day for 4 weeks.
I feel like at one point in time this was the advice for getting 'more views' or 'more likes' or 'more followers' ...or something?
But I can hereby confirm that it doesn't any more. None of the above.
Indeed the views were lower than a snake's belly. The likes were so low that I hid the county thing. And I lost more followers than I gained.
Luckily I didn't do it to feel popular with strangers on the interwebs. I did it cos my favourite thing is to draw my own stuff without a brief or any demands or deadlines or the need to be commercially viable. Or to "make it smile". I did it just for the funs.
It did highlight to me though that the instagram we loved is indeed dead. So I'm thinking I might have this blog as my main posty place again. I don't feel any stress if nobody sees it here. I never get likes or comments and I'm not sure whether anyone even sees it. So it feels like a much less desperate, shouty, salesy place. And I like that 😊
Yaaaayyyyyyy!
Yay it's the weekend.
Yay we're having a heatwave.
And yay I'm nearly at the end of this alphabet.
Also Y is for yak.
W is for Wolf...
And X is ...very limited.
So I went for the obvious, tried 2, both a bit dull... but here we are..
The most overused and overrated creature in children's publishing.
And one who's not used nearly enough...
S and T from the weekend.
Longest day today. Oh how I love daylight! June is my most favouritest month.
I could've done B is for Bunny, H is for Hare and R is for Rabbit, cos they are my faves.
But I stuck to just this one....
