Friends, do you have a space for creating?
 |
| Francis Bacon's studio When I was first starting to work professionally as an artist, I tried painting from my apartment. |
 |
| Picasso's studio There were a million reasons why this seemed practical, but eventually I decided that I needed a space solely devoted to my work. |
 |
| Jackson Pollack's studio I have friends who adore their studios and home offices, but I find it absolutely crucial to have a little creative hideaway that is completely disconnected from my home life in order to make art. |
 |
| Nara Yoshitomo's studio So I was excited to find this clip of John Cleese discussing "the tortoise enclosure" where the creative mind can poke its head out and make sure everything is safe: |
I'm curious: Do you need head space to be creative (professionally or otherwise)? Do you have a studio space, have you carved out a corner of your home, or do you just need to get in the right frame of mind?
