This abstract drawing is inspired by the tufts of hair of my flokati rug. These days I like to make abstract, repetitive drawings while Cate takes mini naps during the day. This drawing was especially fun to make with my Noodler’s Flex Nib pen.
Congratulations to Endment who is the winner of my notecard giveaway. Please contact me with your information so I can mail off your prize. If I don’t hear from you by Friday, Jan 20, I will draw another name.

This month I’m sending out my first issue of Delicate Paperwork, my email newsletter. To celebrate, I’m offering a giveaway to my subscribers. I’m giving away a set of five notecards featuring my artwork from this past year.

This is a quick reminder that I am hosting a giveaway of the first three issues of The Beany by Michael Nobbs until August 26 at 9 pm EST. Click here to enter.
This is my submission for the Virtual Paintout centered in Prince Edward Island, Canada for August. So far this month there have been a lot of beautiful pieces posted on the blog. My submission is fairly simple, but I enjoyed drawing and painting it. Recently I have been doing a lot of running around so it was nice to just sit and draw and zone out for a change. This particular watercolor paper is not the best for pen though, so I might just use it for plain watercolors next time. I did this while listening to episodes of the podcast Artists Helping Artists. It is very informative and uplifting and I highly recommend it.
Last year, I had bought myself a set of the first three issues The Beany, which is the illustrated journal of Michael Nobbs. I enjoyed them and I am now looking to give them away to someone who will enjoy them as well. At one time in my life I wanted to hold onto all the things that I liked, but these days I just don’t have the space, and I’m trying to simplify all my possessions. I’ve never done a giveaway before but I think this would be the perfect thing to gift to one of my readers (and more fun than just throwing them into the box for Goodwill).
How to enter:
Leave a comment on this post with a link to a website, blog post, YouTube video, TED talk, or anything else that you find interesting. I’m not picky. The deadline to comment is Thursday, August 26 at 9 pm Eastern Time. Then I’ll randomly pick a winner and announce it along with my thoughts on your links on Friday, August 27.
I read the other day that Michael Nobbs is in the process of selling off his final 40 sets of the Beany for $15.95, so there won’t be too much time left to get some copies if you want to buy them brand new.
