2019-08-05 00:53:35 +0000 UTC View Posthey friends! so when i get back from filming in september, i'm gonna finally start posting weekly vlogs/videos, and i wanted to know what day you'd like me to upload so i can schedule accordingly. i plan on posting the videos here a couple days in advance regardless, but let me know what day they should be posted publicly on youtube!
thank you for your help and stay rad x

hello friends! this isn't your sticker printable for the month, but i thought this illo that i did for my website's contact page would make a cute mini print so here it is! i set it up on illustrator and made a .pdf that shows you the cutlines for the print — it measures 5"x5". i hope y'all like it, and happy weekend x
print it on a nice thick cardstock if you can, and tape it up wherever yo...

hello dear ones! i would love to hear from y'all: what do you like seeing on my patreon page? what do you want to see more of on my youtube? are there any particular topics or kinds of posts you'd like to see more of? what's something you're keen to learn about? what's on your mind?
of course, you don't need to answer all of these questions — i'm just working to get an idea of the type of content y'all like to see from me, and how i can better serve this beautiful commu...

here you are pals! sorry it's a little last minute, but i hope you enjoy it all the same — i didn't draw quite as much in july as i did in june, but i did finish my sketchbook and i'm excited (and scared) to start a new one~ the first page of a new sketchbook always makes me nervous rip. i'm also excited to try patreon's new gallery feature! let me know how it works for ya!

update: after a little more planning and looking at my schedule, i think the patreon clay friends sale will take place near the beginning of september! i'm gonna be a bit too busy sorting other things out before the movie to get it all sorted, so keep your peepers peeled in september!
hey friends!! my shop update is live!! i have a couple new sticker sheets, these clay pins, and some more hand painted notebooks up for sale. but!! i wanted to say that i...
2019-07-26 21:08:33 +0000 UTC View Posthi friends! in this episode, i talk about my worries/nerves about my upcoming movie, what connor and i have been watching, and how i'm trying to plan ahead so i'm not too stressed in the upcoming month. hope you enjoy!
stuff mentioned:
hi friends!!! so we've been past the $1000 goal for a while now, and i know that i never uploaded a video of me flipping through all my old sketchbooks...frankly, i have some super emotional/sad stuff in those journals and sketchbooks that i don't want to revisit or share, so i thought of an alternative! i was thinking i could upload a high-res PDF scan of my last 2-3 sketchbooks instead — that way you can flip through them as you please.
how does that sound? do...
2019-07-24 00:31:06 +0000 UTC View Posti just wanted to drop a tiny little note (as i'm covered in sweat from the gym) that i love y'all so much. i cannot express to you how much your support here on patreon (and elsewhere on the interwebs) means to me!! it is. so surreal to have over 500 patrons now (WHAT! that's like..a really good indie concert size! we're an indie concert, guys!) and i cannot begin to find the words for the gratitude and love i have in my heart for every single one of you. y'all put a roof over my head (for re...

here you are friends! your july printable~ i hope you like it, cause i sure do hehe. it's so fun! i've attached both the .pdf and .png versions, as was requested on my last upload :D
i think i've finally found a digital coloring style that i love — it's quick but also looks cute as heck and mixes the clean and textured looks i love so much. HAPPY JULY

hi friends! happy weekend~ i need to restock on two of my sticker designs, so i thought i would take this opportunity to go ahead and reformat them to my old school style — i've had older sticker sheets sitting in the back of my planner (back from when i still cut my stickers myself), and i really really like the way they look:
it feels much more "me" than my newer formatting style:&n...

i was thinking of an ootd zine (full of my fave outfits from my closet, which would be a really fun way to work on body poses) or a cute zine full of illustrated recipes of my fave treats and food (i think as a person in therapy for disordered eating, this might be rather therapeut...

HEY FRIENDS remember how i wanted to draw more in my sketchbook? and also just draw more in general??? well i'm very happy to say that i have most certainly adhered to that!! i've been drawing in my sketchbook every day and it's been so fun. sketching constantly for misadventure may has also been a HUGE help — i'm taking a break from it for now to focus on shop stuff, but it has definitely helped solidify how important it is to draw every single day. ON TO THE TOURRR

here u are friends!!! i am going to get the hang of weekly videos if it so kills me. also filming this on my lumix camera (as opposed to my normal vlogging camera, the canon g7x mark ii) makes me REALLY want to get a canon m6 for vlogging in sweden. it lacks the stabilization that the g7x has, but it would do way better in low lighting and also!! interchangeable lenses!! and way more customizable settings
i loooOVE the lumix, the film quality is so gorgeous but it's just a little bit to...

day 6 is “large character walking thru a field” so here’s this! cal and vincent hitching a ride on a cloud giant. most folks say that cloud giants aren’t real cause THEYVE never seen one, but cloud giants are very courteous!! they only materialize when they’re late for appointments or want to move to a different locale — otherwise they’re very patient and content to just gently float along to their destination. if you catch a cloud giant headed the same way you’re going, never...
