Finally! A new sketchbook tour I've been trying to fill the books up more before I photograph and retire them. This book has 95 pages, started in July of 2020 but drawn in until January 2021. This book is kinda censored cause it contains thumbnails for CTL, Silverhoof concept work and other projects. Plus lots of cool sketches hosted via google drive! 😄💕💣
Most memorable content consumed was The Night Mother by Mel Gillman they made this for 24 hour comic book day on October 1st! I really enjoyed that one of the characters was dealing with child loss and the concept of the story was interesting.
I was kinda bummed I missed 24 hour comic day, but technically I could still do this. Nobody out there going to police that, if you want to use that challenge as inspiration for creating go for it.

I've been AFK for awhile because I moved! Which that was a big ordeal! The older I get the more stuff I have...I can't tell you how many boxes I moved that had books and paper! WHY does paper have to be so heavy when its in a cardboard box? 💪 On the plus side my muscles are stronger now.
Also I've been pretty excited cause I've been searching for a job! My son is riding the bus now, I feel confident that I can join the workforce instead of doing mom freelancing! 😉 Interviewing has made me a bit nervous but I really hope someone will take a chance on me cause I have lot to give and offer!
BEST WISHES!
Testing out Substack what I can or can’t do with this platform! Substack is the modern blogger. I still use Blogspot; what can I say, I’m a creature of habit but Blogger isn’t Google’s favorite. Google acquired Blogger in 2003 but really stopped giving attention to Blogger in about 2010’s for the longest time there was almost zero updates. Recently in 2020 Google updated Blogger to be mobile friendly but users lost some functions and tools which was kinda a bummer. Blogger could be updated to be what Substack is trying to be if Google put some effort into it. One thing I will say that Substack lacks that Blogger's still got is PERSONALIZATION aka CoLoR! Why is every place on the internet just a white….space…
PST- they do allow you edit the background color and some small template edits but kinda minor :/
Substack doesn't have quick edit to photos such as “large, medium, small” but they have a resize tool in the bottom right hand corner of each image or use advanced editor mode
Can only upload jpgs or pngs but no pdfs :/ bummer
You can check out the full sketchbook by clicking the google drive link !
Thanks everyone! 💖
PS- So this post was originally made on Substack i just copy pasted and edit for blogger 💩
