I had been accumulating art supplies for two decades. I had so many supplies and so many ideas that almost any time I thought about sitting down to create, I became overwhelmed with options and paralyzed with indecision. After finally recognizing the problem that I'd been experiencing for years, in 2022 I decided to combat it. I made a list of all the mediums that I had gathered over the years, and then another list of things I find beautiful and felt inspired to make art about. With those two lists, I took a set of (oddly useless) face cards that I'd picked up at a thrift store and put them to use. The idea was to let fate decide where to start, and for it to be an exciting challenge each time. There are a lot of different randomizers to be found on the internet, but the tactile experience of having these cards in my hands is another satisfying layer to this entire process.
