First piece finished in the new studio!


I’m feeling grateful and happy to have finished my first illustration in over 4 months. Moving into the new studio space has been such a wonderful experience. Even though I am still working out the details of what goes where, I am finding a great sense of relief as I complete this first piece of work.


So watch this space as I start to turn these rusty wheels wheels one more time.

Tuning up for a new painting.


Today was a little tough albeit enjoyable. The studio is a workable space now, and I was able to begin picking up a project that’s been sitting for way to long. However, it is a little like getting back on your bike after having not ridden for a long time. I could still make the wheels go around, but it lacked that certain fluidity. Of course this is to be expected, I have been out of practice for about 3 months now. I can definitely be forgiving to myself, but it is still tough to see how “out of shape” I am. Guess that makes today a small win, by just getting back to it. Can’t wait until I feel strong again though.

My little kingdom begins to take shape.


While I didn’t quite get around to drawing today, I did manage to assemble all the necessary furniture, and get the space mostly organized.


I should return on friday with some cleaning supplies and a hankerin’ to get drawing!

Where did my new studio go?


Well, this is my humble beginnings at my new studio space 23. I’ve had to consolidate all of my storage stuff into the space. Today’s challenge will be to separate out the studio stuff from the house stuff, and if all goes well drawing will happen today!


Here we go!
