FYH 088 Making Bad Art, Finding Joy, and Reclaiming Play

Morgan shares her thoughts on purpose, joy, and honoring your body. She dives into rekindling her art practice and explores how she is letting her art be bad and igniting more play and freedom in the process of creating. Morgan discusses how going to school for “Fine Art” squashed her illustration dreams and creative spark, sharing that she’s been working to get it back for decades. She discusses perfectionism and “resistance” from Steven Pressfield’s The War of Art, talking about making low-stakes “bad art,” sketching in the wild and working towards the eventual goal of children’s book illustration.
