QUACKCAST 483 - Burnt out
Ozoneocean at 12:00AM, June 16, 2020Preventing burnout
Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, June 12, 2020
I took this past week off, in part to celebrate reaching the goal age of 30, but mostly to take some time to address an encroaching feeling, burnout. Creativity is a muscle, and like any muscle in your body, if overused it can become strained or even tear. I am ...
Speeding up production
Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, June 5, 2020
A couple of weeks ago I was discussing with my family the importance of doing studies in drawing. I was asked, “What do you focus on these days?”. My answer was simple.

Developing a style
Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, May 22, 2020
I recently took on the Sailor Moon Redraw Challenge. I was so excited to pay homage to the series that inspired me to take drawing seriously but most of all, I was curious as to whether or not I had a style. It took many years for me to realise ...
The importance of a workspace
Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, May 15, 2020
When I began working from home, it became clear very early on that my current work area needed a serious upgrade. My desk was surrounded by old letters, books and junk, I had piles of clothes on the floor, I kept knicking my partner’s chair because mine had begun ...
LavenderTowne and the good type of stealing
Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, May 8, 2020
In my early days as a junior designer. I had the good fortune to work under a talented graphic designer and I remember looking at her work thinking, “Oh wow! She’s so clever!” She saw me struggling with a piece of artwork one day. Leaning over, her voice conspiratorially ...
