Hi everyone!
I hope you have all had a great week, and that you are enjoying a lovely weekend!

RIP My Twitter
This week I made the decision to stop posting on Twitter and delete all my tweets. I have not enjoyed my time there for a while and since they announced that any content would be sucked into their AI for training after November 15th, I decided that it would be a good time for me to finally leave!

My Twitter profile is still up with links to my website, but everything else is gone. I did request my data and download the archive of my tweets, so it is possible that I could host that somewhere in the future.

I am currently posting on Bluesky, but am still finding my feet there.

To be honest, I am still finding my feet here too. I am not sure what to post on my new blog and when to make posts. I think I will be sharing mostly little update posts, and maybe the occasional book review!

This Month’s Supporter Rewards and Art Markets
I have been working hard this month to get all of the supporter rewards finished early to give me time to prepare for the art markets.

Speaking of which, I got into a December art market! More to follow, as I just received the acceptance email this morning – but I am excited to be doing a Christmas market again in December!

My Desk This Week
I have been have fun making watercolour sketchbooks, especially tiny little accordion books from offcuts! I’ve also started prototyping leather covers for my sketchbooks. Here is a photo of my desk from after a stream this week:

Currently Reading
Debt-Free Art Degree Foundations in Drawing. The Affordable Way to Learn Professional Skills by Marco Bucci.
This is a very good foundational book, and I have enjoyed the first few chapters! I am going to post a book review when I finish the book, but already I can tell I would recommend it!

That’s all for today, I’ll be back again soon!
