Living the Creative Life
Living a creative life, on a personal level, means following my passions to explore different means of communication and connection with the world. This could take the form of writing, film, stand-up comedy or the visual arts, including urban sketching and creating illustrated journals. My creative life is not limited to any one of those things. But all of them are about ‘The Story’, about what’s happening now. Follow me on Instagram, or shop for paintings on Etsy. My books are on Amazon.
