Win Some, Lose Some
I went to figure drawing on Sunday. I never really found my groove, but I'm happy with these two sketches. So here's to muddling through and tiny victories.
Threaded
June -- you're here at last.
I'm quickly running out of postcards, but while they last, I'm stitching away. And in the background, I'm thumbnailing and sketching, story-making (a change of pace for me). I'm filling up my days with, "what if," "but why" and "and where is the twist?"
And I had a great time visiting Water Street Books this past Saturday. If you're local, I signed copies of Bella's Rules and you can find them in their children's section. Speaking of their children's section, it's amaaaaazing, so get a move on over there.
Warm the Chill
Life at this moment. In further detail:
1. Things are starting to sprout. I started cherry tomatoes, chamomile and Icelandic poppies indoors, using this tutorial to make the newspaper starter pots. Fingers crossed, they're looking pretty decent.
2. A trip to Portland for the Maine Comics Arts Festival is a reminder I should head north more often. Crema Coffee Co., I like you.
3. Not pictured: cold-brewed ice tea, Foyle's War and a bicycle that's ready to hit the road.
Drumroll, Please
So I tallied up the comments, added in the social media entries and the winner is: S. Fizer! If you want to shoot me your email, m'am, I'll get Bella right out to you.
And for all you stateside, Happy Memorial Day weekend.

Illustration Friday - Liquid
It's been ages since I've done an Illustration Friday prompt, so I decided to give it a go this week. And in the interest of creative exploration, I switched things up and did a comic with some brush inking.
