Pssst, this episode was originally published in 2023 and we’re sharing it again as part of our Good Ship Summer Camp series. It’s one of five episodes to help you fly your freak flag this summer. If you’d like to join in properly, there’s a free workbook an' everything!

You can download the workbook here: https://www.thegoodshipillustration.com/workbook

Riiiight, pack up your art supplies. It’s the final week of our pretend Good Ship Summer Camp.

This week's topic is panic. Mmmmm. Our favourite. (How to stop doing it.)

In this episode:

Why “no panicking” is our golden rule here at the Good Ship Illustration
Part-time jobs, anti-desperation energy, and creative freedom
Cat metaphors, war artist fantasies, and business meetings 🐈‍⬛
Why shouting at yourself doesn’t work
Cheesy notes vs reverse psychology for calming down
Creativity and nervous systems (and when to just lie on the floor)
Finding your pace, your people, and your process
