Hey everybody!

I recently sat down to write a blog post with some pages from my travel sketchbook that I'd drawn during our Morocco Sketchbook Retreat. I realized making a video explaining what I'd drawn would be more fun. 

So, that's what I did.

Introducing "Sketchbook Stories!" 

I've decided to dig through some old (and recent) sketchbooks over the next few weeks. I'll flip through them, discuss how the pages were made, and tell some stories. 

Mmmmaybe I'll talk a little about what tools I use and give suggestions about keeping a daily sketchbook of your own. Who knows!?

Three Other Quick Notes

Guest Speakers.
We are finalizing our guest speaker list for Getting Paid to Draw 2025!

Free book event!
I'll be reading my new book, Pizza Shark, for the Society of Illustrators. All are invited. Register here.

School Visits. 
I will be doing a limited number of school visits in 2025. If you are a teacher, librarian, PTA chair, or event organizer and want a visit, let me know!
Are you wondering if I do international visits? YES!
