These are disconcerting times. Hern\u00e1n, Remy, and I have been spending most of the day at home, and everything feels normal, but isn't. We're doing everyday things, but I'm second guessing them. Like — if we need to run to the store for something, I think, "Is it absolutely essential to go out?" Workouts are always done at home in front of the television because the gym is closed and it's cold outside. We're washing our hands until they're cracked and dry. And I can't help but worry about the older members of my family, some of whom have underlying health issues. \u2800 .\u2800 I think we're all in that boat, and we're all in this together. The best we can do is, of course, try and take care of those in our communities who need us — and take care of our own physical and mental health. To me, a big part of that is taking time for creativity. If you find yourself with idle time and a racing mind, complete a tutorial. Work in your sketchbook. Fill out a calligraphy worksheet. The TPK blog is full of free project tutorials\/printables to keep busy, and now through Thursday, digital products (like worksheets) are 25% off with the code KEEPINGBUSY. See the latest TPK newsletter (link in profile) for details. \u2800 .\u2800 As always — stay healthy, stay safe, and I'm thinking of you. \u2764\ufe0f\u2800 .\u2800 #calligraphy #moderncalligraphy #pointedpen #dippen #calligraphyvideo #timelapse #pointedpencalligraphyvideo #writingcalligraphy #writingcalligraphyvideo #coronavirus #inittogether #together #community #creativity #keepingbusy #penmanship #calligraphersofinstagram #positiveattitude #art #artutorial #moderncalligraphyvideo #handwritten #handwriting #obliquepen #brauseef66nib #whitecalligraphy #hanginthere
