Challenge 142: Lifebook Magazine-Issue #67-“Random”: Random Acts of KindnessI really loved this challenge! So many possibilities with this one! I chose to create two editorial spot illustrations for the “Random Acts of Kindness” article.Chicago has been dealing with a month of pretty much constant snowfall. I’ve had to shovel my car out THREE TIMES this month alone! One thing I’ve really enjoyed about this unpredictable time is the opportunity I’ve had to meet and interact with some of my neighbors. I’ve had so many lovely conversations while dealing with some pretty unfortunate circumstances. One instance, I was out shoveling and went back in my apartment to cancel the studio hour I had booked at my local printmaking co-op (I was not about to drive on those icy roads), and by the time I came back out, two of my neighbors had already scraped most of the snow and ice off of the top of my car! It was so unexpected and so kind that my heart felt so incredibly full.So when this prompt came up about random acts of kindness, that moment came right to mind! I think it’s so important to focus on little ways we can help each other out. Another kind act I’ve always been a fan of is the classic pay-for-a-stranger’s-coffee move. I’ve done it a few times, and it’s happened to me a few times as well! I like to think it’s good coffee karma!This challenge helped me think a little bit harder about all the ways we help each other as a society. I think that’s something we could all focus on a bit more these days.-Sarah -- source link
