Australia6 years ago - My monkey emerged!
I just stared listening. Second episode, I was painting well listen to Danny describe his monkey and suddenly on my paper she appeared. I kinda liked her and yet she was unsettling. Her hair stuck out like mine, teeth like mine. She had wings - she knows how I love wings but very scary looking. I was happy to meet her, finally! Now that she has structure I know I can deal with her and her chattering! Thank you Danny!
Apple Podcasts5TlunastoneUnited States6 years ago - Love it!
Love the concept. Have enjoyed all of Danny’s books videos and now podcast. Grate idea, can’t wait for the next episode.
Apple Podcasts5123UncleSamUnited States6 years ago - Great Creative Resource
Once again, Danny Gregory has found a way to demysitfy the creative process with a focus on the challenges we face when trying to explore this side of our selves. He brings on interesting guests with different perspectives on these perplexing problems. I have learned something every time. I love to listen while I draw as it provides a comforting background to drown out the ever-present, noisy monkey. Definitely give this a try!
Apple Podcasts5LenorevhUnited States8 years ago - Inspiring resource!
Finally! A great explanation for why we have creative blocks, and a little, and the nefarious creature who gets in the way – the monkey! Each episode gets better and better.
