I’ve been wanting to draw a monkey for a few days now, but I didn’t know what to do with him until last night.
For me, inspiration is something I don’t have the patience to wait for any longer than a few minutes. If an idea for a piece of art or writing isn’t coming naturally, I just make a decision about where to start, and I force it to happen. It’s that process that gave me the idea for today’s daily doodle.

Great picture; I do the same 🙂
I just can’t wait for inspiration on a daily basis – but there are those times that it comes when you’re least expecting it, too. But, most of the time I am my own monkey in the apple tree.

Made me smile…
Hi Savira, I was hoping to get a comment like that. It made me smile when I was drawing it last night.
Thanks,
Tim
haha…. that’s a funny one today. I like the monkey and your expression.
Hi Allana, I was hoping you would find it funny.

The little monkey in the tree reminds me of a dog who takes something off the table. He knows he shouldn’t do it but the temptation is just too overwhelming…and satisfying!!!
Hi Bonnie, It is satisfying – just like the creative process is satisfying and sometimes a little painful at the same time!
Tim
Have you read Twyla Tharp’s The Creative Habit? Great book applicable to everyone who works creatively.
I haven’t read that book, but I’m really curious now. I’m going to have to check it out. Thanks for the suggestion!

Ouch I just got bonked on the head with an apple to. Have a wonderful day.
Hi Jessica, I hope you’re not speaking literally about getting bonked in the head! I hope you had a great day, too!
Tim
Love the concept and idea behind your drawing. Great job!
Thanks for the feedback!

Needed the apple on my head. Starting a new mini album and need all the inspiration I can get. Love your daily pictures. Waiting on the new box canvas and 150th blogger.
Hi Judy, I know I’m so far behind on the box canvas, and I was planning a 200 subscriber giveaway, but I can’t do that until I finish the box canvas. I got a little stuck, but I have an idea how to continue. That’s another apple on my head!

Hi Tim. Love the tree trunk and branches. So true about inspiration too. I loved yesterday’s post also. I liked all the clocks. It reminded me of how my schedule is a bit off this week. I have company so I’m not in my normal routine. It also reminded me we change the time this weekend. Have a wonderful day.
Hi Laurie, Thanks for being so patient on the 150 subscriber prize. I really need to make progress on that. I wish you the best with your company. I hope you had a great day too!
Tim
You are welcome Tim. No pressure. 🙂
LOVE this doodle…and your words, too. xo
Hi Jackie, Thanks for letting me know! The feedback helps as I create more.

Tim, this drawing made me giggle…lol I am like you…I just get started and give my mojo a kick start…then, I pick up speed. :> Love seeing your drawings and seeing your train of thought! XOX Carlene :>
Hi Carlene, I’m glad this made you giggle. It’s what I was hoping for!
Tim
This is so stinking cute! Remember….the sky is falling!….LOL. Thanks so much for sharing. I needed a giggle. In fact, I think I even got rid of the scowling there for a few minutes. I have permanent wrinkles from scowling all the time, haha.
Hi Diana, My goal is to bring more humor to this blog. I’m glad it made you smile!
Tim
The monkey is a nice touch!
