Let's talk about BALANCE in a creative life.

-
The life of a Creative person can be a tenuous balance. We make and create but also rest and relax. More experienced adventurers will understand the back and forth of creative energy. Sometimes we need to recharge that psychic juice. Give ourselves time to organize and reorganize our plan of action. How do you find balance?
The working artist has a limited amount of time to spend acquiring new skills or knowledge not specific to their art. Anyone who’s ever created anything knows how much time, energy, money, emotion, thought, blood, sweat and even tears we invest in our work. Always hoping it will turn out better than expected and always relieved when it turns out at all. We could work just as hard at becoming more effectual, dynamic creators or communicators.
What if there was a refresher course for working artists? What if there was a community of creative people that didn’t quite know how to connect? How does an introverted artist grow their network?
The Creator’s Workshop will be a blend of lecture, discussions, social games and Q&A. Preparing and researching for this class has been a humbling and reflective time for me. I was surprised to learn more about myself as an artist than I ever expected. I hope the same transformation will happen for everyone who joins The Creator's Workshop. Class size is limited, so email me, tell your artist friends and be sure to register before spots are filled.
Empowerment through Exploration and Examination!

Hello San Diego!

What a difference a year makes! We've had some big changes and we're excited to get back to work! We relocated HQ to beautiful San Diego, California last October and even though a pandemic has slowed the process, we are making new connections, new friends, enjoying the beach and letting the community know we're here to be of service just as much as we are in Atlanta.  San Diego has been kind and helpful and we feel blessed at the opportunity to share our talent and energy with this fine city.  And Atlanta will always feel like home.  As we recently mussed about my humble beginnings at the Center for Puppetry Arts as a puppeteer, to working my way up the film industry ladder from lowly art pa to become a successful commercial art director, to moving into directing and helping private and corporate clients tell their stories in meaningful and compelling ways. How BRP has grown in wonderful and unexpected ways since its creation in 2012?! I can't wait to see what's com

I've been talking with Creators about their Process, here's what they're saying.

Hello fellow artists, readers and guests. Over the past several months I've been conducting interview and informal conversations with artists, creatives and people that seem to accomplish their short term creative goals with success. Let me tell you, the amount of feedback on the state of the modern artist is tremendous.      Putting aside the axiom of persistence getting us where we want to go, eventually, I asked fellow creators if they had any effective strategies for improving performance on longer-term creative projects? We all want to see our creative projects through to some level of completion and we want the highest quality available, affordable or capable. But not everyone gets their projects to the "finish line." What's the big secret? Why are some of us creating portfolios of work and others aren't?     From the horses mouth, simply put, just start . Yup, literally just 'Do it'. Get things going, over and over again. Start as early as possibl

Creative Support Continued - Are you getting what you need?

Continuing from my last post… what exactly are The Field and The Domain? For a quick recap, Fields are the groups of people who inhabit Domains of knowledge. For example: I love the Domain of Painting and Art; and the Field of Painters and Artists. See the difference? A Domain is the Arena and the Field are the People that play in that Arena. So, who are these people in our fields of interest and what do we get from them?? Well, first we get Training. Once we find the mentors we need to take our visions to the next levels, we learn from them. Education keeps us moving forward, sharpening our minds and creative lives as we incorporate new skills. I'm grateful to have had parents that instilled a deep love of learning. Life is a long journey and the more you learn about what interests you creatively, the better your work will become. Everyday, my Fields of people teaches me something new. Resources are the next element our Fields provide. Resources in the form
