All the Little Things- September 4th (Patreon)

Hey Artnerds!

What have you been up to lately? I hope this week has been a joyful one for you- perhaps you're enjoying some of that Cooler Weather I've been hearing so much about?

Basil's feeling better, but still sneezing up a storm.

The vet said he sounded clear, so we're thinking allergies. He's gotten a full cage refresh, and I've been running air purifiers, so I'm wondering if it's outdoor environmental. This time of year, my allergies also act up, so maybe we're allergic to the same thing!

Terrebonne Comic Con

This year, I've had to cut back on the number of in-person shows I've tabled at due to health issues. It's kind of a bummer, because I love selling books, prints, and originals, and I love meeting new people, but spending all day out in the weather, on my feet, battling the wind is not a great panacea for Sjogren's.

I'm excited to announce that I will be attending and selling at the Terrebonne Comic Con this year!The show is a free to the public library comic con and will beSeptember 21st and 22nd at the Terrebonne Parish Public Library in Houma, Louisiana.

I realize most of yall don't live in Louisiana, but if you're in the area, I hope you'll swing by and say hi, admission is free!

Ordering my inking supplies for October

I can't (and can) believe it's September already. This year has simultaneously dragged by and flown! How does that even happen?!

It's a little bittersweet ordering my inking supplies for my final Lilliputian Living- I have plenty of pigment brush pens handy, so it's just the Strathmore 9x12 mixed media sketchbook and some Pentel Pigment Brush refills. Surprisingly, I am a little anxious about Lilliputian Living this year- Festivities and Milestones may be a bit more of a challenge than I can bite off each day with Sjogen's and hand issues. I've decided to just do my best, get done what I can each day and finish inking any illustrations that aren't complete when the month is over, or if I'm having a slow day.

Lilliputian Living Cover

Speaking of Lilliputian Living, here's the design for the wraparound cover!

I'm still looking for eARC readers!  If you're interested in getting and advance reader copy and writing up a little blurb to help promote the book, please let me know!

Start to Finish Tutorial

I really love creating these projects, but they don't really hit quite right on Youtube. Although I've considered canning the series, I'm kinda hoping to do enough of these that I can put together a coloring book or maybe a how to book with printable templates.

M Grahams Review

I'm almost done with my review for M Graham's watercolor and gouache- I just need to edit it, voice over some segments, export that, add music and ducking, and do further corrections, screen that, then render it and upload it. So easy right! Half joking aside though, I HAVE finished recording the M Grahams full review, and hope to have it out to you guys...soonish?
