Makes you happy: life with bright colours

Rocking the financial industry as a project manager! That was Peter's goal - until a burn-out threw him completely off track. So the Simpsons helped him get back on track.

 

Peter's story


As a project manager in the financial sector, Peter experienced burnout. Here in the video he tells how time out and a creative hobby helped him get back on track.

Painting as a therapy

Painting scenes from the Simpsons wasn’t something Peter had to think about too much. He remembers exactly when the show launched in Czech Republic. When he paints, everything around him just disappears. It’s a form of meditation for him. "This helps me to disassociate from other people's problems and focus on the things I can influence and enjoy," Peter describes the feeling when he works with the acrylic markers.


Once he stopped trying to please other people, the rest just happened. One day one of his sketches went viral, someone even had it tattooed! Yet he doesn't think of himself as anyone special – just a guy who paints characters from his favourite show. So what would he like to pass on to other creators? "If you think you can do this, well, yes, you can. You just have to start!"

Peter's preference

Acrylic markers

You can easily work on different surfaces such as wood, cardboard, metal, paper or stone. The inks dry very quickly and hardly smell since they are water-based.
