Fear of creation can be overcome by further creation.

That's what's really great about having a body of work, and a lot of platforms give us the freedom to create and to create a lot. It isn't just one shot to get it right-- instead, it's opportunities to further articulate what we are after, continue to perfect it, express it in several ways, and tease out the contradictions. Let them all live side-by-side. If anything, keep going.

Great little piece!

Thanks for sharing this, Zach! I’ve been noticing myself going through these periods of big ambitious creativity followed by a feeling of being stuck, like I have no ideas, etc. they switch off relatively quickly and I’m finding it frustrating to be prepared for the switch, so this moodboard is particularly helpful. I’m definitely needing to remind myself A LOT that I can’t be a machine.

Glad this resonated with you! I constantly get stuck in the “this is sh*t” phase of the creative process and I find it always helps to take a step back and let my mind wander. Mood boarding helps.

Thanks for checking it out
