What the hell am I doing? I’m printing out the halfway done rough draft of my novel. I’m going finish this sucker. I’m going to edit the ever-lovin frell out of these pages and fill in every gap with mother flippin’ words. And I’m printing double sided to conserve effin paper like a boss. I will be victorious and it will be EPIC. #writersofinstagram #amwriting #writer #scifi #fantasy #dystopian #whatthehellwasithinking

#skillupsunday - Thanks to @etheringtonbrothers for inspiring me to participate in Skill Up Sunday - a day for spreading art education; free for everyone. . . . Today I’m talking about positive and negative space in artwork. The use of space in an artwork is a huge component in creating a message. One lone object in the middle of a page can either be a powerful statement, or it can be an uninteresting blop on the page. Space can be used to force the viewer to look at everything, or only one thing. When we use positive and negative space intentionally we have the ability to shape thought, emotion, and even a physical reaction from a viewer, even if they don’t understand where their response is coming from. 👩‍🎨 🎨 ✏️ #howtodraw #drawingwithintention #tutorial #art #arteducation #mycomicbookjourney #geekasaurus #artist #cartoonist

Excerpt from my article ‘Time to Rise: Making the Leap into a Creative Career’, now featured in the Spring Equinox issue of Creatives Rising 💐 💐 💐 “Before I leapt, I was lost -- lost in my mind as worlds swirled around me, begging to be free from the cage that I kept them locked up in. Lost in outside, well-meaning voices telling me that I “can’t” or “shouldn’t” pursue a creative career because “you need a real job.” Lost in the daily grind of general unhappiness as I bounced around from school to job to school to job, trying to figure out where I fit in. ​Maybe this sounds familiar. Maybe you’ve also been feeling incomplete; like you are denying a huge part of yourself to fit the expectations of others. Maybe you’ve become uncomfortably accustomed to ignoring your inner truth: My life. My choice. My happiness ...” 💐 💐 💐 Want to read more?
