Three new elemental ultra minis, completed at my open studio today! Sold some art, sold some books, sold some prints and cards, had some great conversations, and met some neighbors who saw the bright yellow signs and dropped by to see what it was all abo

Open Studio! As any artist who participates in #siliconvalleyopenstudios will tell you, it is a huge amount of work to make it happen. Setting up the space (in the middle of a kitchen renovation, no less!), making labels for all the art, hanging the sho

All blues. Another little mini for my open studio this weekend. Drop on by, 11am-5pm Saturday and Sunday. The kitchen is still being renovated, but there will be art galore, ready for adoption! From 2"x2", like this little guy, to 20"x20". Over 100 artwo

Didn't get to any Creative Sandbox playtime this morning. Some days are like that. But I did get to it just now! It doesn't matter *when* you do it. It matters *that* you do it. I find the thing I do FIRST is the thing that gets DONE, which is why im@a

Slow start this morning. Maybe it wa the late night last night, after performing improv in San Francisco and having to get the podcast out when I got home. Ah, the life of being a digital solopreneur... I still managed to get some creative sandbox play

It's warm outside today. I think that came out in this morning's painting—"cool" colors but a sunny vibe, no? That bright green "halo," perhaps? The combo of Spring and deep sky blue? Whatever it is, it makes me happy, especially when combined with that
LivingACreativeLife:
I decided to do something different with today's Doodlecam, and that decision led me down a path of delight. Rather than just filling in the *interior* spaces defined by my knot doodle, I started by painting a "halo" around the *exterior*, defining the o

Surprise! It's a new shape today—2"x3"! I'm breaking away from square because at some point I bought a box of these ultra mini 2x3s, and I've gotta do something with them eventually, so might as well start now! The Posca paint pen that @tracey_sunshine s
LivingACreativeLife:
Yay! My first experiments with the Posca pen on watercolor ground are a resounding success! Thank you, @tracey_sunshine, for sending me a pen to try out! The ink flowed like liquid, and didn't show any signs of stuttering, as it did with my poor Pigma Mic

Sometimes my early morning studio (aka my bed) becomes my late night studio. Like today. I made the mistake of hopping on the computer to "just do this one thing..." before my Creative Sandbox playtime this morning, and then the day took off with me. I'
