Be available for life to happen. - Bill Murray . You have to show up. Hold things loosely. Most people say things never happen how they expected them to. Be open to things looking differently. . #sketch #quote #billmurray #art #artist #illustration #illustrator #mikebone #mikebrennanart #inspirationalquotes #visualart #drawing #dailyart #creativehabit #availability #quotes #dailyquote
Find out who you are and do it on purpose. @dollyparton . It takes work, but it’s not going to happen any other way. Know your rhythms, your passions, your strengths and weaknesses. Lean in all the way. Because at the end of the day, it’s not just important for you, but for those around you. . #sketch #quote #art #dollyparton #dollypartonquotes #illustration #illustrator #artist #mikebone #mikebrennanart #drawing #dailyart #visualart #inspirationalquotes #motivationalquotes #sketchquotes

What makes you feel like you suck in your creativity? . They’re the creative vampires. . Competing demands. Putting your creative endeavors last so you have nothing left to give. Comparing your art to other people’s art. Frustration with where you are on your own journey, and not being further along where you think you should be. . There could be a myriad of creative vampires. Maybe it’s time to throw open the shade, grab some holy water, garlic and a wooden stake. . It’s vampire hunting season. . #creativity #creative #art #vampire #artist #cartoon #comic #illustration #illustrator #dailyart #mikebone #mikebrennanart #visualart #drawings #artwork
#tbt (are we still doing those?) this is the origin of “Mikebone”. The year was 1990-something and I was a student at @svanyc - I was enrolled in a 3D illustration class where we had to think up concepts and figure out how to execute them. . We were submitting designs for a student show that was happening at @whitneymuseum for an opening of works by #jeanmichelbasquiat . My “Mikebone” was selected to be display. It was a the project where I had to learn how to weld, drilled holes in various size dog biscuits and glued wire to hold it all together. It was an extremely fragile sculpture. He made it through the show and home, but he met his demise shorty thereafter. All that’s left is this photo, and the moniker “Mikebone” . The reason I still use it today? It was the project that taught me, when you have a great concept, you figure out how to execute it no matter what. Learn a new skill, hire a friend, lean in and do your best. . So, now ya know. . #mikebone #sculpture #svaalumni #1990s #art #artist #origins #dogbiscuits #nyc
Ok so this one is a real geeky niche post. When I was a kid I remember having two robot action figures from the movie The Black Hole (V.I.N.C.E.N.T. & B.O.B.). I don’t really remember much of the movie, but any sci-fi 70’s & 80’s robot when I was a kid fit in right at home. Sidebar - I wouldn’t be surprised if these guys (especially Bob) inspired Bob the Tomato from Veggie Tales. . Sadly, I’m not sure what happened to these guys. They probably got passed down to my younger brother & cousin. . What childhood toys do you look back on fondly? . #sketch #theblackhole #theblackholemovie #bob #vincent #art #80spopculture #80stoys #toys #robots #artist #mikebone #mikebrennanart #dailyart #visualart #movies #popculture #scifi #scifiart
Ship early and ship often. . You might have the best idea ever, and good intentions to use it to help so many people, but unless you act, it’s worthless. . Create a bias towards action. Create and create some more. People are waiting for that thing only you can create. . #illustration #art #idea #create #creator #comic #illustrator #artist #shipit #launch #work #doit #mikebone #mikebrennanart #visualart #dailyart
