I want a fresh start for getting back into blogging, but I don’t want to lose all the work I currently have. Thanks for being patient and keep an eye out for fresh new… Continue reading Princeton Aqua Elite Watercolor Brush Review [From the Vault]
Hi friends. Man, it’s been a while. I kind of dropped off the face of the Earth there for a minute, didn’t I? I hope you’re all doing well. So much has changed since we last talked. I’m doing okay on this end. I’ve been making art, writing, and prepping for the upcoming school year… Continue reading A Creative Catch-Up
Hey everyone! Before your very eyes is one of my favorite types of blog posts to write. When this became a trend, I’m not sure, but it’s always so fun for me to go back and look through my recently finished sketchbooks. There’s nothing like seeing what progress I’ve made and what I still need… Continue reading Drawings From Sketchbook #8

Basically, I worked on a sketch that, until the time of painting it, I’d considered sacred. I almost ruined it, then… Continue reading Follow-Up on Playing Nice With Color

To be completely honest, I’d pretty much abandoned that sketchbook entirely after I drew out… Continue reading Playing Nice With Color

I’ve drawn them, but there’s something about wrinkles and smile lines that never turn out for me. I think this one is a little bit better than most, but it’s definitely showed me that… Continue reading Safety Pins (2020)
Hey everyone! So I haven’t done one of these “Top Art Supplies of X” posts in a while. I think my last one was in late 2018 and it was in conjunction with this video I posted over on my YouTube Channel. It checks out. I would say that I seriously began expanding my horizons… Continue reading My Top 10 Favorite Art Supplies of 2020
Hey everyone! So over the last year I’ve been sporadically posting about what books have crossed my path. I head the goal of reading one book a month in 2020.
