Artsy
Almost every night for the last couple weeks I’ve been working on the new illustrations for my book. This time around (almost exactly a year later) I’m doing it completely differently. Last year, I sat down in my studio, with pencils and paint, and sketched and painted immediately. I didn’t really plan out what I…

Brain Dead Monday
It’s Monday again! yay. We had an exciting weekend, and I’m really tired. Putting words into the box is becoming a somewhat difficult task on the day I made up to be the easiest. 😛 See? easy right? words just aren’t coming to me today. I haven’t completely woken up yet, apparently. So I guess…

Follow Friday
I *never* do this on twitter or anything, and I’m not sure if I’ll actually do this every week, but I thought I’d try it. A couple blogs, articles, songs, videos, or podcasts I’ve been reading/listening to this week (or longer). For your pleasure and nerdiness: The Nerdist podcast. Hilariously funny and geeky and full…

Authentic Thursday
Honestly, this one scares me a little. Because for some reason, the times that I’m honest and vulnerable here tend to blow up in my face and it’s really painful. So I haven’t posted anything here below surface level for a very very long time, because I’m scared to. I’m scared of what will happen…

Inspirational Wednesday
Earlier this year I signed up for an email list called The Brave Girls Club. Everyday they send me an email with a letter. I don’t read all of them, but sometimes (a lot of times) they write something that I *really* needed to hear and know about myself and it makes me really happy.…

Artistic Tuesday
Last night I went to an artist panel hosted by the local creative arts association that I just joined. The topic was basically how we write ant talk about art, and how we *should* be and what ways are helpful to engage the public. We had a journalist, historian, and a director from a gallery…

Made Up Monday
There’s sun today! Well, there was and I was excited about it. The other day I looked up a story I started working on when I was 11. I got three “chapters” in and never really finished. The inspiration and muse just sort of went away for it. I was re-reading it the other day,…

A little bit
I try to do a little something that engages my creativity everyday. Some people paint everyday, and sometimes I do that, but usually I end up doing different things everyday depending on what I feel like. One day I’ll paint, the next day (or two) I’ll draw, sometimes I just sit down and write out…

New-ish-ness
If you’re reading this on the blog right now (and chances are, you are), you’ve probably noticed a major color change. I missed having a custom theme ( had one once, a long long time ago) so I thought I’d make a custom background for my current theme, so it’s still a bit more me,…
