Mostly Visuals!

Art Journal Madness, and other briefings...

When I started this newsletter I promised myself that if I’m ever occupied with projects that take priority, then I would not put undue pressure on myself to write something for my newsletter —nor would I ever lazily slap something together just to put something out.

And that’s precisely what I’m doing right now, ha ha!

Just kidding!

In any case, no matter what life throws at me I always take a few moments every day to scribble in my sketchbook art journal— why? Because it’s therapeutic and weirdly fulfilling. No kidding, I even wrote an article about it right here in this newsletter. Check it out: “Four Ways Art Journaling Will Change You”

In brief, this month’s newsletter is all visuals— either from my daily journal, or from other places. Hope you enjoy it, and thanks for stopping in!

Don’t ask. I don’t know what this is.

I’ve blurred out the parts that are private. They should make ink pens that write like that, no?

I have no idea.

I’m obsessed with carousels right now.

Not from my sketchbook— which is why this piece is a little less “free” and a lot more laboured. I get nervous when I work on actual “finished pieces”, and I usually mess them up. But it’s okay, I guess. I had fun making it.

What the f**k?

lines, shapes, colours, marks

I set out to do a still life of an apple, and then I don’t know what happened.

Your guess is as good as mine.

The pic above is a frame from my comic “Say Cheese, Jesus, Please”, published in the spring issue of Pulp Literature. Pulp Literature is a Canadian digest of stories, art, poetry, and yes, comics! I’m so happy to have my work in there. If you’re not familiar check it out: PULP!

That’s all for now, folks. Thanks so much for taking a look— I appreciate it!
