I've been contemplating this a lot recently. In Spring, I got a new studio space (my first one) as I felt limited in my small Berlin flat. At first, it was all fun and games. I loved going to the studio; everything was new - I started painting/ceramics and installations this year. But In the past couple of weeks, I realised once things settle, we need to be more intentional in setting time for ourselves to show up and allow our creativity to unfold. It's not enough to be creative all day in our heads; but things need also to progress and action. So, instead of allowing my mood to control when I go to the studio, I sat down yesterday and planned the days; I can pop into my studio even if it's for an hour. I have another corporate job, but there is still plenty of time to do my creative work if I make these appointments myself. It requires more planning and intentionality.

I’m overdue for a rewatch of Pee-wee’s Big Adventure but if I recall correctly, the audio commentary with Reubens and Burton was a hoot. “I still have that prop”, “I still see him/her from time to time”, and one perfectly timed comment about a celebrity cameo that was spit-take worthy.

Haven’t read it myself yet but this article in The Comics Journal about the artists and cartoonists involved with The Playhouse looks great.
