something about me…
I prefer soya milk in my coffee. Tell me something about you…
porridge…
…is one of the few things I can stomach easily just now (though I am still managing the odd square of medicinal chocolate). I seem to have have reached the point – yet again – where I need to work out what works for me (and not just in terms of food). It is VERY more »
my sketchcrawl…
…was a very domestic and very short affair. I’d love to be wandering around a big city drawing the famous landmarks – perhaps sitting in Tate Modern looking out over St Pauls. For now though I have to content myself with the small, familiar and local. I think I’m pushing myself too much again, losing more »
ever since i started…
…making small drawings and posting them to this blog I’ve been amazed at how my life has improved. Not simply because I’m doing something that is much more manageable for my present state of health, nor because drawing has given me a better perspective on my world, or because picking up a pen and sketchbook more »
resting relaxing and drinking tea…
Despite my regular pontificating about resting, relaxing and drinking tea, I do often find it very difficult to do the first two (tea drinking has never been a problem). This weekend I’ve been practicing taking it easy as much as possible. I’ve been on my own at home and felt like I needed to have more »
i was chuffed…
…to see this page of links over at the new blog StripySocksStudio. It’s lovely to be placed in such good company. Naptime here…
i’ve been a bit quiet…
…here as I’ve been working on the next issue of The Beany and getting my new project, The Drawing Club off the ground. I’m still struggling with getting the balance right between working to get things done, and remembering to rest, relax and look after myself. I seem to be realising that the only way I more »
new toy #3
I bought this kettle to cheer my mornings up and it worked. I look forward to my first cup of tea of the day with renewed gusto. I traipse down stairs, make my tea, and then positively skip up again to drink it (well sometimes I skip, but usually I am cheered). This is the more »
taking time…
I’m trying to remember to take time at the moment. It’s something I’ve been forgetting a little lately. When I have a few things on the go (and just now I suddenly seem to have quite a few) I find it very hard to stop and do the things that I know make life feel more »
back to basics…
I think I am finally getting my life back into a comfortable (and managable) shape after what has felt like a bit of an up-and-down time. I’ve had a very pleasant weekend pottering around, working on a few things and having plenty of naps and good food. I seem to have forgotten a lot about more »

I'm Michael Nobbs, an artist, blogger and tea drinker (not necessarily in that order).
I'd like to show you that it is possible to stay creative even when energy is in short supply, and how working on small creative acts on a regular basis can build over time into a substantial body of work (and even a creative career).
I've written a book called Sustainable Creativity. You're welcome to pay whatever you would like for it.
Delve a little deeper by becoming a member. If you'd like to delve a little deeper into the material offered here on Sustainably Creative, find out about becoming a member.
My new book, Getting Your Important Work Done, is currently free for members to download.
