Rediscovering Creativity Through Play: A Year of Weekly Art Prompts

In the rush of deadlines and creative demands, it’s easy to lose touch with the joy of making. This blog post is an invitation to slow down, reconnect with your creative practice, and make space for play. I’m challenging myself to create once a week—52 simple prompts focused on analogue techniques like mark-making, ink drawing, and paper cutting. No pressure, no perfectionism—just 30 minutes of pure creativity each week. If you’re craving a more playful, mindful approach to art-making, I’d love for you to join me on this journey.

What can you learn by revisiting your own artwork over time?

In this blog post, I reflect on the evolution of four illustrated maps of Tenerife created between 2017 and 2023. From sketchbook drawings on holiday to digital map illustrations for They Draw and Travel, each version taught me valuable lessons about refining style, choosing focus, and building a cohesive collection. This journey highlights how revising past work can support your creative practice, improve efficiency, and unlock new ideas—proving that creativity often thrives through iteration and reflection.
