Happy September!
Welcome to any new subscribers and welcome back to everyone else! It means so much that you're here. Each month I’m extra motivated to work towards my goals so I can share my journey with you!

What I have for you this month:
Greeting Cards and Prints: Hot off the press!! A new shipment of cards should be arriving TOMORROW, so the online shop is stocked! There are a few new designs, so go check them out.
Commissions: If you are thinking of custom gifts for the holidays, now is the time to book. September and the first half of October are full, and I checked off three more commissions this past month. I can only share the one below since the others are secrets for now. If you're interested in a custom project, sign up here!
Freebie: Let’s switch it up this month and do a free printable card instead of a phone background. Print it out and send it to a friend to brighten their day by thanking them for being the best!
What I'm working on this month and updates on last month:
Last month I told you that I have an idea for a story. I can’t say what it is yet, but here’s where I am in the character development process. The second image shows how I got to this character design. I have drawn a lot of more abstracted characters, but I think a more realistic form will suit this story better. Next month I’ll have more of this little bear cub to share with you!
Home Decor Class: I signed up for a home decor class! I have been working on greeting cards for a year, so I am looking to explore a new art market that I could add as another revenue stream. This class will help me figure out if I enjoy creating for Home Decor. So far it’s been really fun, and here are a few sketches for the first assignment. Can you guess the theme?
A bit of news unrelated to art… we welcomed home a new puppy! As a proud dog mama, I can’t help but share a picture. I hope he starts off your September with a smile!
Thank you so much for reading!
