I’ve been busy—just not here

I don’t know how other artists operate, but I’m so scattered. One week I’m all in on creating this new print club, the next I’m learning a new technique, and the next I feel completely lost in where I’m headed. Let’s be honest, what I just described doesn’t even come close to the real brain swerves in focus. Between ADHD and bipolar, it’s a bit of a wild ride.

I just finished the second month of the A Paper Apothecary print club. Originally, I hosted the club here on my website, but I don’t quite have the tech know-how to make it work smoothly. One subscription sold, and then it somehow showed as “sold out”—even though I had 50 available.

So for now, I’ve moved the membership over to Patreon. It’s a much more plug-and-play situation, and while they do take a fee, it’s worth it at this stage. I might revisit bringing it back to my site later, but for now I’m letting Patreon handle the logistics so I can focus on creating.

I’ve got a couple of brain birds flying around right now. I’m wanting to do more ACEOs and have some ideas for woodland creatures paired with doodled flora. I’m also inspired to learn a new watercolor technique—I don’t even know what it’s called yet, but I’ll share it once I figure it out.

think I’m learning that my process isn’t linear, and maybe it’s not supposed to be. It loops and wanders and doubles back, and somehow things still get made. So if you’ve ever wondered what’s happening behind the scenes, it’s this. A little chaotic, a little curious, and always creating, even if it doesn’t look tidy from the outside.
