I finally jumped in and changed the look around here. I couldn’t stand that awful, dark brown background, it was so heavy I could barely visit my own blog. So here is the new design. The header is handmade and matches the artwork I create for the blog posts. And there is lots of white [...] Related posts:

I’ve been quietly working away at a few new things for the blog including a subscription letter and some other exciting projects (details soon), as well as new art for my Etsy Store. All this activity has led to me not posting much here, so I thought I’d just put up a few of [...] Related posts:

Creating In The Gaps

Here we are in the new year and I’m taking a new direction in my Ephemeral Adventurer series of paintings. I’m experimenting with larger paintings on canvas and trying a few designs without the maps. This one is called ‘Fly With Me’ and it’s the first of the new batch. I’m going to order [...] Related posts:

Illustration Friday: Sink

I’m writing a few guest posts this week and went to revisit a draft I’m working on, but felt very uninspired. So, after dithering in Gmail for a while I noticed that the Illustration Friday topic for this week is: Sink. Which made it easy to justify skipping my morning writing session and make [...] Related posts:

(It used to be called ‘Noticing Mondays’, but maybe I want to post it on a Tuesday sometimes!) What’s noticing? Well, here’s the twitter version: Comfy? Good.
