   163. Britta: what would you make if you didn't have to show anyone?

   From cat drawings to sock knitting to pottery, Britta makes art just for herself - not for a job, not for social media, and not to show off to friends and family. This episode is about a life-long creative practice of making art in the cracks of daily life, what you make when nobody is watching, and using art classes to give you a boost of inspiration and play. We mention: Nobody wants your shit by Messie CondoThe Gentle Art of Swedish Death CleaningThe Wise Fool Handbook

[…] I have quite a long commute. So I do sometimes do drawings while I commute. And then I have one at home or I have several at home. But like I will not be constrained by my choice of book. or like in this book I will only use ink and brush pens and in this one I will only use crayons like I can do whatever I want and it doesn't have to be the same type of art each day so like during Christmas I did a lot of like tiny poems instead of diary drawings or and it can be I don't have to have like chronological art streak because it can be okay today I did a drawing today I did a poem today I wrote something and just doodled around the text or something like that and like to me that sounds like how you make a life full of art like otherwise if you're like it can only be ink and brush pens you're like well in my life Like I live to be a hundred and in my life I made five drawings.
