Happy New Year!

Big News!

Hey hey party people!

Happy New Year! I have a few things to share with you. Spoiler alert, the most exciting thing is the last thing. Scroll if you’re impatient.

My sketchbook is going on sale! 24% off to help you with your 2024 new years resolutions to practice more! Sale runs January 3-10!

In the Twitter/X/Threads/BlueSky/Mastodon whateverness, I wanted to clarify where you can find me. YouTube, of course. Every Sunday 6am Pacific. Instagram, at least a couple of times a week. But my favorite place is Patreon. I’ve been posting more free content on Patreon, on top of starting my new Color for Fashion class! If you’re looking for community, my Facebook group and public Discord are for you.

and finally!

drumroll please!

I got a book deal! I am writing a book on fashion design process and illustration. It’s *tentatively* titled Fashion School in a Book: Fashion Design & Illustration for the Beginner and for the Brand. Maybe. I’m only sharing the possible title because it sums up what the book is about in a nutshell. I’m also putting together a workbook that will go with the book to help you build your collections/portfolios.

I know I’ve mentioned working on a book before but now I have a contract and a publisher and a deadline to kick my booty into gear.

It’s set to publish by the end of the year, which means I have to have my part of everything done by June. I’m TERRIFIED. It’s a ton of work with a tight deadline and I’m still taking husband to PT 3 times a week and life is not back to normal yet but sometimes you gotta do the thing anyway and what kind of hypocrite would I be if I told you to do it anyway and I didn’t do it anyway and I’m totally not panicking nope not me.

Ok, my lovelies, must run, have to get to work!
