Art Journal Prompt…Thoughts For 2018

I found Cherokee Proverbs online and naturally being of the Cherokee people I had to read them. I found it to be synchronicity man. As the first question has been on my mind lately….

I’ve been contemplating where do I see myself/art/home next year. One year. A goal. Each month with “things” to do  for that month leading all the way to that goal.

Here they are….

Where will we be as people five, ten, fifty or one hundred years from now?
Do we brag about our full blood ancestor or do we brag about our Indian grandchildren?
Do we live in the past or do we focus on the future?
Is being Cherokee a novelty or a way of life?
Is being Cherokee a heritage or a future?

Substitute the Cherokee if you want for Artist or Writer or Dancer or Dreamer or Believer or whatever adjective fits you best.

For instance, for me, I’m thinking this way…Is being an Artist a novelty or a way of life?

Answer: way of life!

I just thought you might dig the questions as art journal prompts to get some deep thoughts down on paper.

Merry Christmas! I hope it was awesome. I got a Ukulele! I haven’t had time yet to play it but I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!! Sparky surprised me with it. I also got a button maker so I’ll soon be putting my art on pins! I can’t wait! I’ll be offering them in 1″ and 1 1/4″ sizes.

Rainy gave me a super great journal and so did Sky. I can never ever ever have too many journal/planners. I’m learning how to bullet journal at the moment. I have never thought of including an index before! Genius!

I rearranged my studio on Christmas Day and today I just tweaked it, making even more space. So Yay!

Art wise, I sold some, mailed it and almost finished week #3 of 52 Week Path To Peace Project for The Zen Pen Peace Project.

Let’s take a look at last week’s Artsy To Do List, shall we?

• create 4 dreamcatchers
• draw 5 posters
• work on January issue of The Zen Pen
• begin Mindfulness zine week 3

And now for this week’s Artsy To Do List:
