Welcome!
This is the home of an artist in perpetual need of ideas.
I do crowdfunded illustration for independent writers and their fans, so if you're an author, and you'd like some artwork, please check out my call for prompts to learn how to request a story sketch of your own!

the itinerant artist returns!
*HUGS* and very belatedLunar New Year's greetings to you all! I have returned home after a stimulating and much needed séjour in Asia, during which my access to the internet was unexpectedly limited.

Back to basics
I'm slooowly trying to get back into drawing again and finally taking some time to familiarize myself with using the Inkling with Sketchbook Pro. So far, I'm quite pleased with the combination, and I'm looking forward to seeing how the sketches some of you requested will turn out ( Read more... )
