Inspiration I absolutely love finding out what inspires people. Not only do we all get inspired by different things, but we define the word itself slightly differently. Maybe you think about inspiration as what motivates you to create your art, to give something your...
Happy Thursday! I loved sharing last week's challenge, with my self portrait. I'm fairly certain they're my favorite pages in my book. I also love how the tinsel peeks out of the pages, and you'll be able to see it in today's photos if you look. The first two pages...
Every month, I take you on a tour of the street art in Baltimore. This month, I'm going to share some of the magnificent work I saw in Brooklyn during my trip to New York. I enjoyed Brooklyn much more than Manhattan, as I expected I would, and a big part of that was...

For this month's prompt, we were to do a self portrait. The only rules were that we couldn't use an actual photo of ourselves. So how would I demonstrate to someone who has never met me who I am? It actually got me thinking. At this point, I identify with the name...
A few weeks ago, my friend, Miki, sent me a text with a picture of her reading to a few stuffed animals at the library she works at. She told me that sometimes kids leave their stuffed animals at the library overnight, and they take pictures to show them. I decided...
