Today: Get Messy Thursdays | Adventure, Week 3

Today: Get Messy Thursdays | Adventure, Week 5
This week I got got down to (messy) business a bit earlier than usual. Most weeks, I spread out my art journaling over the better part of the week and wrap things up just in time for my Get Messy...

I’m so happy the latest season of the Get Messy Art Journal challenge has begun (I’m also so excited about this season’s theme: Serenity!). I seem to lose momentum between seasons and realize how much...

Today: Get Messy Thursdays | Serenity, Week 2
This season, the Get Messy group (join the challenge here!) is focusing on serenity. I couldn’t help but laugh as I sat down tonight (eleventh hour, for life) to start another round of pages for this...

Today: Get Messy Thursdays | Serenity, Week 3
So I got a tiny bit brave today and made my first Periscope broadcast, doing a little flip-through of my sketchbooks and art journals. You can watch it here… until it expires and vanishes… or whatever...

Today: Get Messy Thursdays | Words, Week 2
September was one of those months where I wrote 45 posts in my head… but apparently that’s where 41 of them stayed. In my head. Here’s to a fresh month, a fresh start, and a fresh opportunity to...

Today: Get Messy Thursdays | Words, Week 3
This post is a day late. I mention that simply so you don’t fear that I’ve entirely lost track of days (though… some days…). If you’d like to learn more about the Get Messy Art Journal program, click...

Today: Get Messy Thursdays | Throwback Thursday
Don’t worry. This isn’t the kind of Throwback Thursday where you have to see a photo of me with braces and curly bangs and pretend I was cute. We have a little break between Get Messy Art Journal...

Today: Being responsibly indulgent.
The change in seasons, the end of Daylight Saving Time, and the final weeks of my pregnancy have combined forces to make me, basically, an exhausted grouch. I had a routine appointment with our...

Today: Happy Thanksgiving.
This quote has always been one of my favorites (and you know how I feel about doodling in white on black paper and, like, cutting stuff out when I should be doing other things). Gratitude really does...

Today: Get Messy Art Journal | Magic, Week 2
With Thanksgiving this week, I didn’t get much done in the way of creating (except for a plate of onion tartlets — super easy, super lazy recipe coming at you tomorrow morning) until last night. For...

Today: Get Messy Thursdays | Magic, Week 3
[So… most of this post was thrown together well before yesterday’s tragic events in San Bernardino. This is not a post about grief or guns. But those things, rather than paint and sketchbooks, are...

Today: All I want for Christmas.
All I want for Christmas is this. Materials used: Cold-pressed watercolor paper, Winsor and Newton professional watercolors, and a super crappy paint brush from a set of approximately 900 (it set me...

Today: What I made | 001
This year, I thought I’d continue to share a weekly look at recent paintings, drawings and illustrations. Rather than keep posts like this limited to my art journal, I plan to keep things a bit more...

Today: What I made | 002
This week I accomplished a whole lot of half-things. Which is to say, I started a lot, but finished a little. I feel like I’ve been washing the same load of laundry for a month. And I’ve been...

Today: What I made | 003
What I made this week: A crappy video. Olé! (I’ll embed it below for your viewing pleasure so you can mock me.) I also made some other stuff. Mostly all on the same night. Nick and I caught up on...

Today: What I made | 004
It’s 70 degrees and the sun is shining in Boston, so we’re making a dash for the Harbor Walk (it’s where we do our best puppy watching). I’ll leave you with a few sunny creations from the past week or...

What I made | 006
It’s been ages since I’ve shared what I made. Grace and I spend plenty of time drawing things like “Dad with a stroller” and “Dad with shoes” and “Grace in a bed” and “Grace in a different bed” and...

What I made | 007: Gouache edition
What I made | 007 sounds so… James Bond. I assure you what follows is less secret agent and more… lady making a mess on her coffee table. I’ve been completely swept up in Mary Ann Moss’ Oh My Gouache...
