TIP OF THE MONTH

Swoooosh. .. Summer holidays are over (at least in the northern hemisphere) and back in the office. . .in the new normal so to say. It’s clear that these strange times are here to stay. I’ve heard that it could take 2 years for a pandemic/ epidemic to come and go. . .and seems like things are staying in the new normal. So . . .I’ve got a tip to keep the creative flow going at your desk. This is great whether your desk is at home. . .at your studio. . . at your corporate office. . .at the hospital etc. . .

It’s simple. . . grab yourself some water soluble crayons. Here you have the option to use them wet. . .simply by dipping them in a glass of water or dry as they are. It’s optional to use a sponge or brush. . .or just your fingers. The most fun part is mark making. There are no wrongs or rights here. . .just have fun. You having fun? Then you have done it right!
