If you're into scary books for this month, check out "Shaman." It's really scary. I don't recommend reading it at night or before bed. Right now it's free on Kindle until October 20th. mybook.to/shaman
Shaman – A Short Horror Story
Process Video: Mixed Media Scrapbook Page
Here is the video showing how I finished one of my layouts following Wilna Furstenberg's mixed media scrapbooking course. This is only from when I used the gelatos to paint. I've already stenciled the paper and allowed it to dry before painting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSzAbav0WsI
A Couple of Layouts
These are two layouts I finished yesterday. I also made a process video of the second layout and hope to share that soon.

Portrait Draw In Your Style
In April I tried to follow through with an Instragam "draw in your style" type drawing. Draw in your style is where an artist shares a drawing and others follow along by either drawing it in their style or try to draw it the way the artist drew (which is how I did it). I... Continue Reading →
