<description>&lt;p&gt;We are back talking about traditional art, crafting, and how we can find creative sparks in our art and in our life.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I’m like that dude on the journey who’s like hey here’s a quest if you want to do it well here it is…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sidequest, If it’s been a while since you’ve drawn in a sketchbook, or written or made music. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Set aside 5 minutes and just start without expectations or having to meet any bar that any has set: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Have fun with it. Doodle and Dabble!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Love you all see you later! ✌️&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

EP.56 Crafting, Perspectives, and 4 Ways to Find Creative Sparks for Your Art 🔥

Welcome to Rupees Over Ramen, the show where we discuss Animation, Dungeons &amp; Dragons, and tons of other nerdy stuff. We'll be talking with fellow artists and creators with chill cozy times. I'm James, I'm an illustrator, animator, and storyteller who is a fan of Studio Ghibli, Disney, and Nintendo. I have a special place in my heart for cassette tapes, the Super NES, the Sony Walkman, Malt Shops, and all of the nostalgia. Great times are ahead, so grab a nice hot bowl of Ramen, some chopsticks, and join in on the discussion every month with a variety of co-hosts with every episode. ✌
