This is a time lapse animation of my painting “Sunny Octopus”. I took pictures with my phone while painting it through out a week and put them together in After Effects. The Painting is a custom acrylics painting for a 5 year old girl. In it I created an ocean world with her favorite animals: an octopus, fish, doggie and cat.
.
What a couple of weeks! We moved (now we are right in front of my studio), finished new paintings and turned my office upside down!
My cats really helped unpacking… not! Here is my cat Mundo in my new house hanging out on the fireplace.

Today I got to my studio followed by Minicat and we discovered a beautiful male Peacock hanging out in the roof of my art and design studio in Coconut Grove. Minicat and I shot great shots of the peacock and then she really turned animated.
Do you have those days where you are just blocked, low energy and can’t get yourself to work? I think you are missing some ‘inspiration’. Inspiration is that spark that turns you on and all your creative energy just flows. It’s like magic when it happens.
It’s very important to recognize when you are lacking that inspiration so you can be productive and creative whenever you need to be.
It’s a very good practice to create some sort of a system to recognize when you are in need of some inspiration, so you can do something about finding it back.
How do you recognize when you need inspiration? When you just can’t get yourself to do some work, when you feel low in energy, when you feel blocked, you just can’t create, write, or do whatever you gotta do.
What can you do about finding some inspiration? Take a moment to think and write down 10 things that exite you, turn you on, you find fascinating, you love. Take that list and tape it to your monitor and when you recognize that lack of energy, look at the list and do or look at just 1 of those things 10 things. Take a little brake and do it. You’ll see how quickly your creative juices come back and you are on top of everything.
If you discover new things that inspire you, add them to the list immediately. Think of that list like your treasure of inspiration that you can go back to and recharge. And if you travel a lot, keep the list in your computer or your phone so you can access it at anytime.
What inspires me? I’m inspired by my cats, when I swim, specially if it’s outdoors, by looking at some artists art, by going to the zoo.

Taking you for a swim with me and see the world from underwater and get inspired:
