It’s time to start work on the 2021 Inklets already! The line-up has been confirmed, and now it’s onto the first stage of production, which means writing […]

Well, I’ve done some creative things this week, but mostly they are making graphics and suchlike, and writing stories. I was completely slack and didn’t write on the 15th/16th/17th, which puts me one behind for my 10 stories in 20 days challenge, but meh, whatever. I might be able to catch that up this coming

Schools essentially closed to all but necessary students on Tuesday. Wednesday afternoon my school announced that staff could (and should) work from home unless rostered on for supervision. So today was my first day trying to sort out what this all-four-of-us-at-home-all-day thing looks like. My husband has a desk downstairs in the main living/kitchen area.
Ermagersh, mind blown. Thankfully, le small daughter has PLENTY of crayons lying around (which, let’s be honest, she mostly BREAKS because SHE TOO HATES THE LOOK AND FEEL OF CRAYONS) so OF COURSE I tried this out. Tune in Monday for an epic crayon coloury Made-It 😉 Ha. (And yes: I will definitely be teaching

I’ve been kind of binge watching art videos this last week, I’ll be honest. I mentioned on Monday that I’ve really been missing making physical art in the last year or two. I used to draw A LOT in high school (in years 11 and 12, I carried a sketch book around with my notebook

Recently discovered that the new work laptops convert to a tablet, AND they have photoshop installed, AND they come with a stylus.

Another quick board sketch today, since that’s all I got. A student made a comment about the line in Romeo and Juliet that starts with, “Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo”, saying that they always expect the line to go, “Romeo, Romeo, let down your hair.” Naturally, I had to illustrate it B-) Read more:Made-It

Peanut ponies this week. I didn’t meant for them to be peanut ponies necessarily when I started, but then I kind of settled on a style and remembered this book I had as a kid that had templates for drawing what were called ‘peanut ponies’ because of the shape of their face. I can’t find
