Cures for Artist's Block

Drawing a Blank?

When a writer cannot think of something to write, it’s called “writer’s block.” When an artist wants to create something, but is only drawing a blank, it’s known as “artist’s block.” But, don’t despair, all of you creatives, there are ways to exercise your talents, even when you are staring at the proverbial “polar bear in a blizzard” on your page.

You're Not Alone

From 2011 through 2014, the term "artist's block" was searched on Google 1,845 times in the U.S. alone.

That means that, on average, more than once a day someone is searching the term "artist's block" on Google. Just think of how many more artists suffer who are not using Google to search for help.

Let's Play

This website was developed to give creatives (whom are struggling with creating) some ideas for unlocking (or unblocking) their creative minds.

The ABSTRACT page will give you a couple of ways to free your mind using simple lines. You can even engage your family and friends in helping you to get your creative juices flowing (it’s a lot of fun, I promise).

The REALISM page will give artists some ideas for things to draw (or paint) that they may never have even thought of before (two very common things that people see every day) which have endless possibilities for artists to play with. And that’s the main point; creating art should be playful and not hard work.

So, let's start playing!
