    How to inspire your way out of creative block.

    Release date: September 3rd 2024

    I’m so excited to announce that my artwork will feature on the fantastic Endless Art Challenge Card Deck by Megan Roy for Bluestar Press!

    The Endless Art Challenge is a deck of mix-and-match cards which, when combined, provide prompts guaranteed to get your creative juices flowing. Whether you’re in a creative funk or just love having low-stakes warm up sessions, this deck is here to inspire you.

    I asked Megan why she wanted to create this deck and she said “The number one thing I hear from people who want to bring more creativity into their life, get better at making art, or break through a creative block is that they just don’t know where to start. I really wanted to make this deck as a way to solve that problem. It takes all the guesswork out of the ‘blank page syndrome’ and provides specific (but not too specific!) direction so that you can do less thinking and more making. I think there’s something really magical about that.”

    Whether you’re a blossoming new artist, or thriving in your practice, The Endless Art Challenge deck provides an inspiring opportunity for growing your style or a free-flowing warm up. There’s no rules as to your skill level or medium – the point of these cards is to jump start your creative mind. You could even gift it to fellow creative, aspiring artist, or a young art student!

    Comprised of 90 cards, this deck is split into three categories to get your creative juices flowing:

    SUBJECT: A word of phrase to provide direction for your artwork’s focus
    COLOUR: A colour or palette to base your work upon, either as a whole or in part
    WILD CARD: A final prompt, providing further inspiration for your piece

    Pick one card from each section to craft your prompt, gives you over 25,000 possible combinations.

    In addition to the prompts, the flip-side of each card features the artwork from one of 90 artists around the world – one of whom is me! Discovering new creators has always been a huge source of inspiration and drive for me, and following them on social media means that I can keep up to date with their awe-inspiring work and careers too!
