Is it true? Is Open Studios really happening tomorrow? I can’t believe it. I have to leave in a couple minutes to go hang everything. Yesterday I stole Tom’s Costco card and got some juice boxes, chocolate, and big rounds of brie. I just need to pick up bread in the morning and we’re good…

Better late than never! This week’s finders keepers drawing is called “Jolly Crocodile Landscaping” It’s watercolor and caran d’ache on paper. I taped some talk bubbles on it that say “I am a gift for you” and “take me home.” I thought they were very cute and I’ll probably add them to all of the…

I did it, I finished the first 50% of my book. In the last month and a half I’ve written about 75,000 words give or take. I think I’ll have to do an official tally tomorrow. Now I’m going to sleep. I shall sleep long and hard tonight. This is a huge milestone for me.…
