Hello friends!
It may not seem like it, but I've been drawing a lot since I came back from Japan. I'm doing lots of little pen doodles in my sketchbook. So far, I'm keeping them to myself, to take off the pressure.
But I also painted a...

Hello friends!
I think every artist should paint a scene with a gigantic cloud at some point in their life, and for me, now is the time. I felt like painting something light and summery and fun.
This month, I have less time than ...

Hello friends, I hope you've had a good weekend!
I've been having a ton of fun sketching lately, which is unusual for me, since most of the time, I enjoy finished work a lot more. I'm still not very good at doodling for the sake of doodling,...

Hello friends!
I've been feeling pretty good about my art lately, and I'm having a lot of fun experimenting and just doodling (which I rarely do). Taking a stab at sequential art is something that's been sitting on my bucket list for ages, a...

Hello friends,
I quickly wanted to let you know that I'll be doing a webinar called "Creating Complex Environments" over on Schoolism! We'll be talking about using photobashing/collaging to assemble scenes for reference.
Hello friends!
I wanted to share my new painting with you before the weekend. The process was interesting, because I'm noticing how my gouache practice is influencing the way I paint digitally. Usually, I tend to be a bit of a perfectionist,...

As I've talked about a couple of times, reading has been a big thing for me this year. I usually read the most when I'm feeling calm, or maybe reading makes me calm? Either way, it's just been really lovely to be accompa...
