"Sticky Sketch-a-Day" Social & Creative Experiment

Hello Remarkable Artists! I'm launching a personal project today and I invite you to join me on this creative journey. You see, like many of you, I used to draw obsessively. It was my happy place. My meditative zone. And it led me to a career in commercial art. But somewhere along the way, drawing started feeling like work. And then binge-watching, mobile games, and doom-scrolling killed my concentration and focus—along with any interest in drawing. (Thanks pandemic!)

Well, I've decided to take back my passion.

I read an article about how sketching on sticky notes is a low stakes, high fun way to train your brain away from cheap dopamine hits and back toward something productive. "They are small, disposable, and easy to use, making them ideal for quick sketches and doodling without the pressure of creating a masterpiece."

And then I realized there's something even better than disposable—digital. And something better than solitary—social. So I've created a very simple platform that takes the idea of sticky sketching and combines it with the ease and convenience of technology.

It begins with this simple, free PDF. It's really nothing more than a digital sticky note that can take full advantage of the RMPP's amazing technology—including a QR code that automatically allows you to upload your creation to a discord where we can all help and support each other with ideas, techniques, thoughts, or just a bunch of oooohs and ahhhhhs.

I've uploaded my first sketch to get us started. I hope that within a few months my post frequency will increase—and with that—my craving for easy dopamine will decrease. I invite you to join me on this journey of mental health and artistic expression—and I really hope you will. It will be so much more fulfilling to take back my creativity alongside some new friends.

There's no barrier to entry. Just grab the PDF and let's get started!
