When I first went independent as a freelance illustrator, I found my footing again through small, steady acts of recording. Setting big goals with great intention tends to backfire — so instead, I started with whatever could give me just a little sense of achievement each day. I tried throwing away 100 objects over 100 days, and kept up a morning drawing practice, sketching whatever image came to mind each morning. Making small challenges, recording them, and sharing them — I think that might be one way to keep the anxiety at bay. — from an interview with Lifezip Magazine
