Your sketchbook doesn’t need an Etsy shop. Keeping one thing unpriced is how you remember why you started.

CREATIVITY

WHAT THIS MEANS

The moment something you make becomes something you sell, the questions change: what performs, what people want, what it is worth. Those are fine questions, but they crowd out the original one, which was whether you liked making it. Not everything you are good at needs converting.

Keep one practice with no plan attached to it this week. Do not show it, do not improve it for anyone, do not calculate whether it could become something. Notice how different it feels to work with nothing riding on the result.
