Hello Beautiful!
Over the last few weeks, I took some time off. We all need that now and then. I did not attend live sessions or start new work. I spent time with my family, traveled, and engaged in non-work creative activities, including drawing, swatching, coloring, taking (and completing) a couple of online classes, as well as working on pages for the two authors I'm collaborating with. While I was out...
OH, My ODDyssey! was Published!

Six boys on a trip found themselves on a ship! That’s where our story begins. Along the way, they befriended a lonely whale, savored a delicious Greek feast, danced to Zorba, and acquired some Greek vocabulary. But the best part? They realized that a trip across the sea can turn into a great adventure!
This book features a delicious Greek recipe that’s easy to make for little hands, a “find me” character on select pages for curious minds, and a glossary of new words to learn about the Greek culture.
Grab a copy from Amazon USA, AmazonAE, Barnes & Noble, Waterstones, or Walmart.
In bookstores in the UAE and Lebanon, very soon. Hilda and I are so excited to share this fun story!
Procreate Announced Its Upcoming Release!
The most exciting part for me is the introduction of Brush Libraries! Here is a YouTube video I watched that provides a summary: Procreate 5.4 Beta First Look – Huge Brush Library Update! with Lisa Bardot. For ideas on organizing your Procreate brushes, I offer a class on Skillshare: 'Organize Your Procreate Brushes.' The class is valuable beyond the update. If you don't have a Skillshare account, the link provides free access for 1 month. You can take any class offered on Skillshare.
I Spent Lots of Time in my Sketchbooks
Sharing a few pages, highlighting the messy fun
During my time off, I found myself lost in the world of painting with gouache. What a fun medium!! I have now decided to leave my paints out on the table so I can jump in at any time and paint. I have found that this helps me maintain a consistent art practice just for myself. The neat part of my brain has accepted this practice, as the joy outweighs the need to clean up. hehehe.
