Put on a Lipstick

Blue and Blah As a creative who is also always present in social media, it seems as though you are in constant cloud nine churning creative thoughts and brilliant ideas. In reality there are days that are just blue and simply blah. Nothing is coming and you know that the clock is ticking. Deadlines do not help at all. It sounds very indulgen

Who Are You?

A World of Pink Zebras and Purple Trees
How to find creative inspiration everywhere. A lucid dream As the nurses from the recovery ward repeatedly called my name, I woke up, still half-sedated, and was repeatedly muttering “pink zebras.” I remembered replying I saw pink zebras having a tea party in my dream. A week later and completely sober, I rushed to the art store and searched for the perfect pink that would go well for my hostess, Mrs. Zee (a pink and blue zebra) at her safari tea party, where she invited her
