A Break From the Studio

As a creative, it is easy to get wrapped up in a project. One minute the sun is out and you're convincing yourself that you're almost done. Then, before you know it, it's now dark and the moon is staring back at you. As a result, you've spent another day inside, without a break.

Creating is important but taking breaks are essential to our creative process. We found that taking breaks gives us inspiration for our own projects and prevents us from burning out.

Today's break called for a trip to the Getty. It's easily one of our favorite museums to go to because there isn't just the gallery to look forward to, the whole visit is an adventure. Starting with a tram ride up, viewing all the traffic on the 405. Looking out the tram windows makes us feel like Ghost on Power, overlooking the city. We couldn't care less about the pre-20th Century European Art (yawn). More than often, we go to the Getty to admire the sculptures and to be outside.

There's a cafe where you can get a drink and snack, but please beware that the scones are hard. And they don't have a microwave to warm them up. Besides the stale pecan scone, this museum trip was well needed.
