How are you staying inspired during lockdown?

Online art exhibitions, walks around the block - name your muse

  • Read
    Watch things that might inspire you. - Theres a series on Netflix called abstract which is worth checking out.

    Meditate- 'headspace' app is great

    Sketch ideas

    Work on the things you may have put off like say marketing

    Keep in contact with friends




  • Looking at/collecting photographic journals and magazines, reading poetry and trying new things that can be done at home:)
  • It took almost the whole year but I finally started feeling bored a couple of weeks ago and have been signing up for online talks and events ever since! The Dots has great events listings so take a look for something of interest. But any activity doesn't have to be work-related - it shouldn't be. e.g. tomorrow night, I'm zooming in to a virtual stand-up comedy event.

    Also, I walk a lot - a change of scenery is really helpful. And I'm trying to read more than I watch TV.
  • Hunting for a writing job, writing more, reading more, networking more and watching biographical documentaries (I'm stuck with my docu-feature, as my collaborator died during the previous lockdown!)
    Hope You're all well :)
  • Drawing a lot more concepts on the drawing board, finding a basketball court that isn't blocked off and watching more 3D modeling tutorials.

    We have to adapt and still stay creative...Good vibes only!
  • Staying on lockdow actuall gave me time to watch new kinds of series and reading some books. I actually am in a good inspiration phase. Thanks to the lockdown I started writting a book and directing a animation which I wrote.
  • developing old rolls of film I'd forgotten about, and making youtube videos
  • @Mary Kingcott Constantly listenting to the Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant and Karl Pilkington podcasts on repeat.. haha
  • Running, creating youtube videos (ArtChick TV) , creative self portraits and other creative shoots on location
  • Try to exercise every day to freshen up the mind. I personally love running and I explore new routes almost every few days. Join the Strava running clubs!
  • Self-initiated projects and dog sitting for a friend.

    The projects allow me to play. I'm able to experiment away from the computer and the dog walks give me time to clear my mind and explore.
