ART
A creative life, practiced daily
This work starts with my own.
Every piece you see is part of an ongoing daily creative practice.
This is not a highlight reel. Not occasional bursts of inspiration.
It’s a steady return to the work. Over time, that practice becomes something more.
A body of work.
A way of thinking.
A way of living.
This is what it looks like to stay creatively alive.
Originals, prints, commissions, and live event sketching
PRACTICE
If creativity has felt distant, you’re not alone
It doesn’t disappear. It gets buried.
You have ideas, but you’re not acting on them
You used to create more, but something shifted
You’re busy and responsible, but something feels missing
You know there’s more in you, but you’re not sure how to access it
Creativity didn’t disappear. It just got buried.
And it can be brought back through practice.
If this feels familiar, you’re in the right place
You have ideas, but you’re not acting on them
You used to create more, but something shifted
You’re busy and responsible, but something feels missing
You know there’s more in you, but you’re not sure how to access it
Creativity didn’t disappear.
It just got buried.
And it can be brought back through practice.
What changes when you reconnect
with your creativity.
You start showing up consistently, even when life is full
You stop overthinking and start making again
You reconnect with ideas that actually mean something to you
You build momentum without burning out
You feel more like yourself again
This isn’t about becoming someone new.
It’s about returning to who you already are.
How this work started
I stepped away from my creativity for nearly ten years.
What started as burnout turned into depression, and I found myself disconnected from a part of who I was.
I didn’t come back with a big plan.
I started small. One piece of art a day.
That daily practice became the foundation for everything I do now.
Today, I’m both a working artist and a creative mentor. I create art rooted in real experiences, and I help others build a creative practice that brings them back to life.
Because creativity isn’t something we visit.
It’s something we practice.
Two ways to work with me

I’m Mike Brennan, an artist and creative mentor. Through my art and my work with others, I help people reconnect with their creativity and build a practice that keeps it alive.
DAILY CREATIVE PRACTICE
For a long time creativity was central to my life.
Then I hit burnout.
Eventually I stepped away from art completely. What started as a break turned into ten years away from creativity.
During that time something important slowly disappeared from my life. The creative part of me went quiet.
Eventually I found myself in a difficult season of depression. That season forced me to ask a question that changed everything.
Was it even possible to come back to creativity after so long?
And if it was possible, what would it look like?
Instead of trying to make some big comeback, I decided to start small.
I committed to making one piece of art every day.
That simple decision became a daily creative practice that helped me reconnect with creativity and with myself.
Over time those small daily acts of creativity began to add up. One piece became a week. A week became months. Months became years.
That practice eventually produced thousands of pieces of artwork and became the foundation for what I now call Daily Creative Habit.
More importantly, it taught me something powerful.
Creativity is not something we visit occasionally. It is something we practice.
Today my work is about helping other people stay creatively alive.
Through my art, books, talks, podcast, and the Daily Creative Habit community, I help artists, makers, and creative thinkers reconnect with their creativity and build practices that keep it alive in their work and their lives.
A Life of Creative Practice
This mosaic captures every piece created through my daily creative habit over the years. It’s a visual reminder that creativity grows through consistent practice.
LET’S WORK TOGETHER
ART
Art has a unique way of capturing meaningful moments, places, and experiences. Through my illustration and visual storytelling, I create artwork that helps people celebrate what matters to them.
You can explore original artwork, prints, and books in my shop, or work with me to create something custom such as a home portrait, pet portrait, or personal illustration. I also offer live event sketching, where I create artwork in real time to capture the energy, stories, and memorable moments of your event.
Whether you are looking for a meaningful piece of art for your home, a unique gift, or a creative experience for an event, I would love to help bring that story to life.
CREATIVE MENTORSHIP
Creativity has a way of reconnecting us with curiosity, ideas, and the work that feels most meaningful. As a creative mentor, I help artists, makers, creative thinkers, and teams rediscover that connection and build practices that keep creativity alive in their lives and work.
Through talks, workshops, coaching, and consulting, I share lessons from years of daily creative practice that help people move past creative blocks, reconnect with their ideas, and develop rhythms that support consistent creative work. Whether you are an individual looking to deepen your creative life or an organization hoping to inspire fresh thinking and engagement, my goal is simple: to help people stay creatively alive.
When Creativity Starts to Slip
Maybe you’ve felt it.
You have ideas, but you’re not making time for them. You used to create more, but something shifted.
Or you know there’s more in you, but you’re not sure how to access it.
Creativity doesn’t disappear. It just gets buried.
My work is about helping you reconnect with it and build a practice that keeps it part of your life.
