You. Are. Awesome.

P.S. I’m testing what it looks like to host videos myself rather than through YouTube.

Realizing now that by uploading my own videos, which take up a LOT of space, I need to be purposeful about the videos I *do* make and post.

Tonight’s Stream is Cancelled

Tonight’s stream is canceled so I can meet with the Ohio Arts Council about potential grant opportunities. Sorry for the late notice!

I’m also going to take a break from livestreams for now. Keep an eye on my YouTube channel for video updates.

You. Are. Awesome.

How I Got Into Drawing – A Video

This is how I got into drawing. What do you think of this style of video? Let me know in the comments if you would like to see more like this!

Here are the links mentioned in the video:

Did you like that Buu art I drew? Well, it’s a FREE phone wallpaper on Ko-fi!

Here’s that article I mentioned about Rurouni Kenshin’s creator (CW: mentions of ch!ld abuse/p*rn). 

The Janemba sketches I mentioned are somewhere during this archived live stream if you want to watch (there are tons of other sketches, as well, if you like sketchbook tours).
