+# It's about joy
+
+As you might know, among other things I work with webdesign. Originally
+because I wanted to design my own website. And here I am, involved with
+several other websites and more or less involved in some of Jonas's
+projects, many of which have a web end of sorts.
+
+Time calls for webdesign for small devices like smartphones, and it's a
+bit of a mouthfull for someone who doesn't own one and actually don't plan
+to get one any time soon. For a long time I've considered this a huge
+problem standing in my way of even beginning to imagine any good ideas
+for the websites I maintain and develop. I don't have a clue if clicking,
+scrolling or zooming is better.
+
+I have visited lots of websites displaying good responsive design, but
+felt blocked anyway.
+
+Jonas encourages me to base my designs in visual communication and set the
+technical and user experience oriented concerns a bit aside. And finally I
+felt resonance in me. At the moment I am developing my artwork by diving
+into my creative space for a short while each day and playfully create images.
+I need to apply the selfsame playfullness to my web design process.
+
+Play is my new parole. I'm testing it through my daily water color painting
+following my latest challenge of getting a number of paintings ready for a
+specific date. For instance I paint with the colors I'm wearing that day,
+or landscapes and skies. Stripes, circles, soft shapes and lines, colors
+running and mixing on the paper. I'm absorbed with it like a child and
+looking forward to testing out the next idea coming up. You see, I get new
+ideas along the way.
+
+I still can't visualise any glossy responsive web designs. But I'm confident
+that they will show up, and lots of them, as soon as I stop speculating and
+get to work on it. Which I will do as soon as possible.
+
+How about you? Are you inspired making artwork or still waiting for
+inspiration to show up one of these days?
