Iā€™m excited to live in a world where ā€œsuccessā€ is when you have happiness and peace of mind not money and trophies. @garyvee . Success looks different for everyone but how are you guarding against climbing a ladder thatā€™s against the wrong building? . #art #garyvee #garyvanerchuk #artist #illustration #success #illustrator #entrepreneur #business #podcast #video #quote #quotes #mikebone #mikebrennanart #quoteoftheday #artwork #speaker #communication #visualart #sketch
No one thinks athletes are at their best when theyā€™re at their worst physically. So why would we think artists are at their best when theyā€™re at their worst mentally? @andyjpizza . Iā€™ve been tuning into Andyā€™s podcast ā€œCreative Pep Talkā€ for a few months now. I feel a kindred spirit with many things he talks about. If youā€™re a creative person, check it out. . #art #artist #quote #illustrator #illustration #sketch #speaker #quotes #mikebone #drawing #quoteoftheday #mentalhealth #work #artwork #artoftheday #dailyart #visualart
Iā€™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. Iā€™ll be capturing the events as they unfold. If youā€™re local to NJ - come stop by! (You might even make it into a sketch šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø) @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. - ā€œIf youā€™re not sacrificing for your thing, youā€™re sacrificing your thing.ā€ . #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, didnā€™t. . Itā€™s easy to play a role that others have assigned you, or that youā€™ve allowed them to. I spent the first half of my life showing up asking ā€œwhat am I supposed to do? Just tell me what to doā€. Even in my creative acts, I lacked real purpose. I wasnā€™t taking ownership over my own creativity. . What Iā€™ve found is the best purpose is in redeeming your own story for the benefit of others. Leveraging your creativity to help others. Itā€™s not about being clever. Itā€™s about investing in others. . @cathy.heller . #art #artist #depression #purpose #creativity #sketch #illustration #quote #quotes #drawing #mikebone #mikebrennanart #visualart #creative
Next up: Iā€™ll be live event sketching the Growth Now Movement Live hosted by my friend Justin Schenck, in Reading PA - May 31st . Itā€™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 Iā€™m ready for a season change. Here in NJ thereā€™s still a bit of school left, and the pool still needs to be opened. . But even more than the season change, Iā€™m ready for the next season in life. Iā€™ve been thinking about what comes next. While I havenā€™t seen success in certain areas, and Iā€™m still trying to build other things... thereā€™s an over all shift of next that Iā€™m ready for. . Are you ready? If ā€œnextā€ 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 youā€™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 . Iā€™d love to invite you to join me in my course ā€œYour Artist Journey: Finding Your Voice & Style Through Daily Practiceā€.

@terrytheweaver closing things out with some challenges as we exit the conference and get ready to go back to our thing at home. Thatā€™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
