I'm excited to show you guys what my lovely Patrons go for their April goodies. First off is the April desktop background. After 3 false starts at coloring the exclusive, Nature, from March I finally got in gear and finished her up just as March was closing. She fits the April showers bring May flowers theme, huh? Though here in Michigan on April 2 we had pretty much a blizzard going. SMH...

We're coming towards the end of March so its time to tease one of the new digital art pieces that patrons on my Patreon will be getting in their April goodies. For this piece I had the mental image of when you call someone's name suddenly who has their back to you and they do the quick spin around to see who's there. Did I nail it?   Maybe not "nailed" but it invokes that...

There are so many cute houses for fairies out there that I just had to make my own. I had the idea to create a fairy house (town?) on the side of a tree using the types of mushrooms you see growing there. I drew this on my Samsung tablet and I honestly don't think it would have come together without the ability to zoom in and out to get all those little details. Paper can only take so...

 This past month had been a loooow month of creativity and mojo for me, until a few days ago really. In those couple days I busted out the 2 exclusive line arts that are available for patrons, Pulling Strings and Nature.  Both of these pieces were drawn on Samsung tablet. I'm really enjoying this method of drawing, it takes away that worry that you're going to royally mess...

This past christmas, hubbins presented me with the world's heaviest gift. After carrying it around now I can definitely testify to its gravitational pull, but at the time its sheer weight made it oh so perplexing. We go to the Antique Fair in Allegan a few times from Spring to Fall and he knew I'd been looking for a cute typewriter, nothing too big, actually working. Opening this big box...

I don't think I've ever ordered something so fast in my entire life. Once I spotted my newest art supply love on Instagram I said, and I quote..."OH SHIT!"closed that tab, opened Amazon, put it in the cart and ordered it within 2 minutes, thank you Prime! I've had the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 ed) for a while but once I got my giganto phone, Note4, the tablet saw less and less...

My latest art print, Faded, was an interesting process and didn't end up as I expected it to. When I drew the line art, I knew that I wanted to do a very dramatic lighting with this piece, her sultry expression demanded it.On my other pieces I started out with a base color in the area I was working on and build up my colors, this was similar but instead of building up highlights,...

 Look at me! I actually have something to share with you on Crafts day. If you're not amazed, maybe you should be, I am. This week I release 3 new digi stamps for you to get your color on with, Tiny Magician Tobie, Singing Star Tia and Sweet Mae. I color each of them for the shop listings and I challenged myself to use 1 of them on a card for today's post, trying to build up that well...
