Free Monthly Sketch Party

The Sketch Party happens monthly on the third Wednesday, but the third Wednesday of this month is the in-person book launch for Timothy’s Tee Time, so how does the third Tuesday work for you?

Let’s meet on Tuesday, June 20 at 11 AM EST!

What is the Sketch Party? A free one-hour Zoom to hang out with other artists. I lead a 15 minute sketching activity, and then we stay on the zoom and chat while working on various projects for the remainder of the hour. I hope you join us for some community and art! All levels are welcome, and it’s mostly about hanging out with other artists :)

How long does it really take to illustrate a children’s book?

I just sent off the final files for my first picture book, Timothy’s Tee Time! It was an expedited timeline of 2.5 months from start to finish. Although I definitely felt the pressure of a quick turnaround, I got to learn so much about the process and how long each stage really takes.
