This year I feel particularly sensitive to the changing of seasons — and not just thanks to my allergies. It seems as if the bright red and yellow leaves are nature’s caution that it’s time to slow down, and consider my transition into Winter. Inktober seemed to echo this message. The dailiness of taking noteContinue reading “Transition”

I don’t think I’m the only one who equates September with the start of all things Fall. I know that you know that this is the unofficial beginning to the pumpkin spice latte season… But the more I think about it, the more I am becoming convinced that September is actually a mash-up of someContinue reading “Hello Fall?”

I entered my first art show! Okay, technically, it’s my second show. The first was a small exhibit at the community center, while I was in high school. I took my family to see it and quickly realized my work was no where to be found. They accidentally forgot to include it or something. Neat.Continue reading “Show & Tell”

I thought it would be fun to do another reading list this year! Since there have been so many superhero movies and TV shows, it can be easy to forget that their is such a diversity of genres and characters in the illustrative medium. And while I love comic art, I struggle with keeping upContinue reading “Summer Reading List 2018”

You know that little voice in the back of your mind, that says things like “hey, don’t go to the party. You should bail. It will be awkward and you don’t know enough people.

What I thought was creative-block was actually a rather quiet imagination. I’m not really a dreamer, unless it’s day-dreaming (I don’t want to say I’ve spent hours staring off into whatever, but… yes, yes I have). I think sometimes I expect my ideas to be super-complicated and outlandish. How about a…unicorn… riding a leopard… intoContinue reading “An Artist’s Statement. Kinda.”

I didn’t mean to disappear this winter. I blame hygge (basically a version of coziness perfected by the Danes)… So, I do my homework first and read up on it. I have candles lit and wooly socks on, and am crocheting a giant blanket. My house is clean for holiday gatherings, and everything is justContinue reading “Hibernation & Motivation”

Hello! August was a total blur. There were visits from friends and family, and a birthday celebration (mine!). Plus I spent two weeks fighting a cold (and by “fighting,” I mean napping on the couch and watching 14 hours of documentary about the Roosevelts (highly recommend it, by the way)). As far as colds go,Continue reading “Switches & Dimmers”
