So, we are still very ‘mid-renovation’ in the house, inverted commas because when it’s been going for 3 years who even knows what ‘mid’ means any more, and the kitchen is the current hub of activity, such that a couple of weeks ago I lost my original island bench, and it’s been replaced with a […]

More drawing this week with the Pink-Year-Old, who requested a unicorn from me. She also requested a request from me, so I requested a bunny 🙂 The whole point of all of this, of course, is that humans are made to make stuff, and the results are irrelevant: focusing on making new things is fundamental

Picked up the markers again on the weekend with my sister when she was here, and with my adorable 3-yr-old niece. It was super fun just chilling and chatting and playing around with blends again.

Took some time out on Saturday again to Art with the small child, which is a Bonding Thing we both adore doing. I’m also super excited because I took the leap and got a proper case for my markers, which is a) ultra aesthetic and b) I think makes them more accessible and easier to

The Kickstarter for And Then I Shall Transform (OUT TODAY, OMG!!) went well, and hit a couple of stretch goals, one of which was to do illustrations for the collection of short stories, one for each story. I was a bit excited about that stretch goal, because I actually really enjoyed doing the illustrations for

More messing around with copic markers this week, though to be completely honest this one is from a couple of weeks ago now 😀 I can’t remember the exact context, but I know we’d been watching something Cute on TV and it inspired this. Maybe Planet Earth?? Read more:The Most Exciting Thing I Didn't Post

Really loving what are becoming fortnightly art mornings on Saturdays with the pink child. Sometimes the boy child joins in as well, but pink child is the one with the mad passion for arts and crafts, so it’s a nice ‘our thing’ we can do together 🙂 Sometimes we do tutorials, but this time I

So I’ve worked really hard to clear more space in my schedule this year after a few reminders that in order to write effectively, I need not only time to write, I also need white space as well. One unexpected benefit of this is that on some Saturdays, which are my no-chore church day, the

Kiddo the first is of the age when he has joined Pathfinders, our church’s answer to Scouts I guess. As part of this, he went through a couple of weekends ago and pulled out all the honours (patches) he’s interested in doing. Spoiler, there are 38 of them and it took us 2.5 hours to

Just a couple of random drawings today. One is a dinosaur, the precursor to last week’s lil party critters (before I realised that drawing them all more realistically was going to take a night of time I didn’t have), and one is one of the unicorns from the game Unstable Unicorns that I did for
