Hello, friends—
This interview was a lot of fun.
If you want the tl;dr up front: have fun, choose something you enjoy, and make it easy for yourself to show up.
In this interview, I sat down with Melissa Lakey, an artist and illustrator based in Joshua Tree, California, whose work is full of color, curiosity, and heart. We talked about her creative backstory, how she found her way back to art during the project, and what helped her stay with it.
A few things Melissa mentioned and ways to connect with her:
The Jaunt + Melissa’s print (coming soon)
Lindsay Stripling’s newsletter and classes
Melissa on Instagram
Melissa’s website and newsletter
If you’ve been overthinking your project or wondering how to keep it enjoyable, I think you’ll really like this conversation.
XO,
Lindsay
