Fire Your Inner Critic
Allen heard on the radio the other day an interview with Dr. Dan about inner critics. It's a short interview, go have a listen. It was pretty interesting and got me looking around the web for more articles about our "inner critics". Mine is a nasty little bugger, always showing up when I least expect it and a very unwelcome guest in my head. Anyway, I read that writing down the evil things your inner critic says will help get those thoughts out of your brain so you can move on. I made this spread just for the purpose. On the left I'll be writing down all the nasty little things my inner critic says and hopefully moving on...
This lettering is a new "font" I'm trying to install into my brain. I really like it...it's playful...easy to letter...but mostly it just feels like me. It just sort of came to me while on a break at work the other day when I was doodling You can see my letters are still slanting up to the right a bit (was that my inner critic speaking?) and I'm still working on fixing that.
This page was made with inexpensive watercolors, Micron pens, text pages and scrap paper.
