✏️☠️This week’s #drawordiechallenge prom

✏️☠️This week’s #drawordiechallenge prompt is Ted Lasso. Here’s why….
.
I talked about this in depth in last Sunday’s weekly newsletter for visual storytellers 👉🏼drawORdie.club 👈🏼— but it wasn’t until 2020, at age 44, while watching an episode of Ted Lasso, that I realized I had panic attacks and maybe had been dealing with them for some time. I think the pandemic and lockdowns had made it worse.
.
I can’t really describe the feeling. Except maybe that it feels a little uncontrollable, you feel it coming and you just have to center yourself. But it can happen at any moment, even in the best of moments or in the middle of a conversation. I’m not sure there really are any “triggers”, because I think it’s happened to me in just about every life situation. When you live with it for so long, and maybe I have, you just kinda feel like it’s a normal thing. I never thought THATS what that was. I thought maybe it was just a natural overwhelming feeling of self-dread that overcomes humans from time to time. I had a very “suck it up” kinda attitude. And I also hid this whole thing very well, at least I’d like to think so.
.
The good news is, it hasn’t happened in quite some time. now that I realize what was up, when I feel the sensation coming on, I can usually always make it go away by doing a little ritual of self-talk, and a fidgeting with a worry coin or trinket. I always have something nearby and handy. Even a good old #2 pencil can do the trick.
.
Anyways, that’s a hell of a show. And that was some amazing acting and directing in that episode where Ted has his first panic attack. I never in a million billion years thought I’d enjoy a show centered around soccer, or be able to say that one episode changed my life forever.

Maybe this is how they’ll find me some day, and I think I’d be ok with it.

This week’s #drawordiechallenge prompt is “vinyl records, or a record player.”

I didn’t do last week’s challenge which was SELF-PORTRAIT, so I’m catching up by adding me in here as a skeleton... obviously I died happy. Probably listening to Pearl Jam...

Vinyl records have always fascinated me. I know there’s some science behind it, but the idea that you can capture sound by grooves cut into a plastic disk... it just makes absolutely NO sense to me. So I just like to consider it modern magic.

A magic that ALMOST faded away and died...but has come roaring back.

There’s a great book called Revenge of Analog by David Sax that has a chapter on how Vinyl records made an impressive comeback in a digital world.

We’re all living in this very digital world now, but I like to think this makes things like records, books, hand made art even MORE magical now.

I think about this alot when it comes to the art of the DAILY COMIC strip. Something I always want to do, but just lack the real time needed to go all in. But, as I talk about in this week’s newsletter... there IS no SOMEDAY MAYBE.

There will never be the perfect time to start anything.

Whatever it might be for you, whatever you’re not starting???

... Don’t delay.... START TODAY.

This is one of my favorite quotes for the Defeat the Funk mini-course for artists. 😂 Hey, if you’re an artist feeling kinda stuck, or spinning your wheels, I invite you to try this! It’s free. I made it to help as many artists like me as possible. So far, over 500 artists have tried it, and in hundreds of conversations now in the past month, it feels good to know this works!
