Wanted To Draw Some Energetic Fighting Poses! The Poses Are Referenced From Stock Photos, And The Character

Knitted Portrait Chicago-based artist Faith Humphrey creates colourful knitted/wired portraits. The wires are used in such a way that they bring depth, light and nuances to the faces of the people and animals represented.

I ask my atoms what it was like

To be inside a star

To travel across the universe

To right where we are

I don’t think they can hear me

And even if they could

Would they answer in a language

I even understood? 

Mental Crop Rotation

When farmers grow the same crop too many years in a row, it can leave their soil depleted of minerals and other nutrients that are vital to the health of their fields.

To avoid this, farmers will often alternate the crops that they grow because some plants will use up different minerals (such as nitrogen) while other plants replenish those minerals. This process is known as “crop rotation.”

So the next time you find that you need to step away from a project to work on something else for a while, don’t beat yourself up for “quitting” that project. Give yourself permission to practice “mental crop rotation” to maintain a healthy brain field.

Because I’ve found that when that unnecessary guilt and pressure are removed from the process, a good mental crop rotation can help you feel more energized and invigorated than ever once you’re ready to rotate back to that project.
