Such a delightful book. After I read it, my 10 year old consumed it cover to cover right away. When she finished, she looked up and said, "I know that feeling! I had no idea everyone else had the same thing." How amazing is that?

Perspective shifting and highly imaginative! Lucy Bellwood's creatively rebellious approach to the inner critic is fresh, insightful and very good art. There is a panel here for everyone. For me it's demons #53-55 #Lupuslife It's relatable and is such a beautiful book by a fabulous person.

I feel honored to have been following Lucy Bellwood's demon dialogues online since the very beginning. The pieces from her very first inktober challenges are just as sharp and insightful as the later pieces written during the 100 days project. It's very cool to see how her art developed into the finished style she choose for the bulk of the book. Everyone, but especially creative people, struggle with these same type of demon voices: mine tell me that I haven't done enough, no matter how much I do. Case in point, when I got home from Lucy's book release party at 10pm instead of lying in bed and re-reading the book as I should have I sat down at my computer to write three blog posts and answer emails. Was that an instance of me caving to my demon? Or an instance of using my demon's nudging to be productive? What Lucy's book tells us is that both can be true at the same time. The demon is trying to help, but its actions are frantic, sometimes pushing us too hard, at other times holding us back. We can't banish this demon- we must learn to live with it instead. Lucy's book offers a compassionate guide to successful demon co-habitation.

An excellent read for creators and doers of all sorts. This series of 100 conversations between Bellwood and her "demon"--the inner critic who tells her she'll never be good enough, productive enough, loved enough, ANYTHING enough--range from the amusing to the heartbreaking and will be all too familiar to anyone who's ever dealt with doubt in their creative endeavors.

In October artist have this drawing challenge. This is what this author did. For 100 days she drew a picture of a girl and his demon. The demon would either say negative or respond to his anxiety. The girl on the other would respond positively.
This is nothing special but it was fun to read.

Mental health matters. Anxiety seems overwhelming when we are blind to the fact that we all have demons, and when we come together anything is possible.
