← Gentle waves Lake #photo #photography #art #water #waves #lake #nature #southcarolina #sky #trees #iphoneography #SQWave Waiting. It's hard to have patience waiting for power that's beyond you. But when it overtakes you, it brings you places you could never go on your own.

No one thinks athletes are at their best when they’re at their worst physically. So why would we think artists are at their best when they’re at their worst mentally? @andyjpizza . I’ve been tuning into Andy’s podcast “Creative Pep Talk” for a few months now. I feel a kindred spirit with many things he talks about. If you’re a creative person, check it out. . #art #artist #quote #illustrator #illustration #sketch #speaker #quotes #mikebone #drawing #quoteoftheday #mentalhealth #work #artwork #artoftheday #dailyart #visualart
I’ll be live event sketching for my home church @liquidchurch on June 2nd at #oceangrove Great Auditorium for this epic Sunday. Beach baptisms to follow. I’ll be capturing the events as they unfold. If you’re local to NJ - come stop by! (You might even make it into a sketch 🤷‍♂️) @visitoceangrovenj @oceangrovebeach . #event #eventsketch #livesketching #church #beach #baptism #drawing #art #illustration #mikebone #mikebrennanart #newjersey #nj #jerseyshore #sketch
Loved sharing my story to help others. Humbled and excited for more opportunities. . Repost from @thethinglive - What a weekend!!! - In our closing session @mikebone said one of the most important things of the entire weekend. - “If you’re not sacrificing for your thing, you’re sacrificing your thing.” . #speaker #communication #publicspeaking #conference #event #workhard #quotes #creative #mikebrennanart #mikebone #artist #sacrifice #dream #passion
The opposite of depression is not happiness. The opposite of depression is purpose. ~ Cathy Heller . The worst part of my time spent in depression was feeling the lack of hope, and feeling trapped. Things I though should have brought me purpose, didn’t. . It’s easy to play a role that others have assigned you, or that you’ve allowed them to. I spent the first half of my life showing up asking “what am I supposed to do? Just tell me what to do”. Even in my creative acts, I lacked real purpose. I wasn’t taking ownership over my own creativity. . What I’ve found is the best purpose is in redeeming your own story for the benefit of others. Leveraging your creativity to help others. It’s not about being clever. It’s about investing in others. . @cathy.heller . #art #artist #depression #purpose #creativity #sketch #illustration #quote #quotes #drawing #mikebone #mikebrennanart #visualart #creative
Next up: I’ll be live event sketching the Growth Now Movement Live hosted by my friend Justin Schenck, in Reading PA - May 31st . It’s going to be an amazing day for sure! @gnmpodcast . #event #sketch #livesketching #conference #eventsketch #drawing #illustration #pennsylvania #entrepreneur #business #marketing #eventplanner #artist
I know I was just in Florida, but I’m ready for a season change. Here in NJ there’s still a bit of school left, and the pool still needs to be opened. . But even more than the season change, I’m ready for the next season in life. I’ve been thinking about what comes next. While I haven’t seen success in certain areas, and I’m still trying to build other things... there’s an over all shift of next that I’m ready for. . Are you ready? If “next” came to you today, would you be found ready and able to move into it? What do you need to prepare to be found ready? . Art inspired by @heatherslg @margaritaville @margaritavillevicksburg . #ready #next #season #summer #art #future #artist #life #illustration #illustrator #visualart #poolside #feet #palmtrees #preparedness #contemporaryart #artwork #mikebone #mikebrennanart
This past weekend I got to not only share the fruit of this statement (by live sketching at @thethinglive ) but also shared how this principle changed my life and art. . How do you go from a ten year art absence to a daily creative habit that has produced over 3,000 pieces the last seven years? One day at a time. Stringing small moments together. . If you’re a visual artist: . - desiring consistency in your art making - yearning to return to your art after a period away - frustrated and needing a plan to help you move forward . I’d love to invite you to join me in my course “Your Artist Journey: Finding Your Voice & Style Through Daily Practice”.

@terrytheweaver closing things out with some challenges as we exit the conference and get ready to go back to our thing at home. That’s a wrap! @thethinglive . #thething19 #event #conference #sketch #sketching #eventsketch #art #mikebone #eventsketching #drawing #illustration
Is it weird live sketching myself? Yeah, a little... but it was my complete honor to share my story and some practical steps from my journey so others can advance in their creativity. Thank you @thethinglive and @terrytheweaver . #thething19 #event #conference #sketch #sketching #eventsketch #art #mikebone #eventsketching #drawing #illustration #artist #speaker #communication #mikebrennanart
@robertoteaches teaching us about positioning to partner and writing our own story. @thethinglive . #thething19 #event #conference #sketch #sketching #eventsketch #art #mikebone #eventsketching #drawing #illustration
