Tomorrow is #Drawn2FlickrDay
I’ve had a Flickr account for a few years now, but I’ve only recently realised what an excellent resource is it for discovering wonderful artists who draw. To help spread the word I’m declaring tomorrow #Drawn2FlickrDay on Twitter. The idea is simple, all day tomorrow (Friday 1st May)I shall be posting links on Twitter to more »

Beany giveaway
I’ve been having a lovely afternoon unpacking boxes of books and stacking them on my new studio bookshelves. Amongst all the copies of The Beany that I was also making a home for on the new shelves, I found five rather dog-eared copies which I’d like to find homes for. Details in today’s micro-podcast:

Taking some time to rest, reflect (and drink tea).
<br/> <br/><br/> I was reminded by Danny Gregory yesterday after talking about his website on my micro-podcast, about the importance of taking some time out to rest, reflect (and drink tea of course). Resting is something I seem to need to be constantly reminded about, but reminded I have been and I shall be closing more »
Blueberry muffins and micro-podcasting dannygregory dot com
The marvellous Danny Gregory has had a sign hanging on the front page of his website since the end of last year. It says simply “Gone Drawing.” I like to imagine he is happily off somewhere with his sketchbook, and quite understand that after five years of inspirational blogging that he might well need a more »
Coffee, doughnuts and podcasting
I feel as though I’m almost living in a 1930s American detective novel; coffee and doughnuts for breakfast and narrating my story in a micro-podcast.

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.
