Inside My Studio: 100 Day Project 2016 Is In The Books
I wrapped up the 2016 edition of The 100 Day Project at the end of July and, just like last year, it was a terrific experience that served to remind me of many of the lessons I learned in 2015. I didn’t blog about it much here because, let’s be frank, I haven’t blogged much about anything this year – although I am trying to be consistent

Inside My Studio: The Art of Repetition and Practice
Has everyone heard of the 10,000 Hour Rule by now? It was put forward by author Malcolm Gladwell with the reasoning behind it being that in order to become really really good at what you do, you need to put in 10,000 hours of actually doing it. Yeah.

The 100 Day Project 2016 Edition
I was really looking forward to taking part in The 100 Day Project again this year after having such a great experience last year.

We’re still not sure what’s wrong but it’s being treated as a soft tissue

And… and… I have a cute colouring book giveaway as well! I haven’t really done an “inside my studio” update for

Inside My Studio: Crayons, Markers and Pens For Colouring and Doodling
One of the most common questions I get asked, mostly on Instagram, revolves around what pens and markers I use for my 10 Minute Doodles on Instagram and my bigger art projects. I know when you walk into an art supply store it can be frightfully overwhelming to a newcomer (or even an experienced artist if you’re moving to a new genre!), not to mention, there

What 100 Days Can Do
What can 100 days do? No really… what can you do in 100 days? Where does it get you? I mean… it doesn’t sound like much. Anyone could do 100 of anything. 100 jumping jacks. 100 photographs. 100 words. It’s such a small number that it feels totally achievable and yet, so achievable that it almost creates a “why bother” attitude… it’s not enough to really
