What I made this week: A crappy video. Olé! (I’ll embed it below for your viewing pleasure so you can mock me.) I also made some other stuff. Mostly all on the same night. Nick and I caught up on Homeland (by watching 900 episodes),…

Today: What I made | 002
This week I accomplished a whole lot of half-things. Which is to say, I started a lot, but finished a little. I feel like I’ve been washing the same load of laundry for a month. And I’ve been reading the same paragraph of the same…

Today: What I made | 001
This year, I thought I’d continue to share a weekly look at recent paintings, drawings and illustrations. Rather than keep posts like this limited to my art journal, I plan to keep things a bit more open-ended, knowing that some weeks I might make time for…

Today: Get Messy Thursdays | Magic, Week 3

This post is a day late. I mention that simply so you don’t fear that I’ve entirely lost track of days (though… some days…). If you’d like to learn more about the Get Messy Art Journal program, click on over. Get Messy Thursdays | Words,…

Today: Get Messy Thursdays | Words, Week 2
September was one of those months where I wrote 45 posts in my head… but apparently that’s where 41 of them stayed. In my head. Here’s to a fresh month, a fresh start, and a fresh opportunity to have the best of intentions, only to get…
