July Update

It’s July, and I’m having a very creative summer so far. I actually finished putting together the 100 Girl Art Book, officially titled R.P.B. (which stands for Random Practice Babes), cover and all.

Mid June 2017 Art Update

Making a choice

I finished another girl drawing today. I’m actually kind of proud of it. But I am resisting sharing it (in its entirety anyway). It’s not amazingly innovative or anything, but I need to teach myself a new habit. I’m up to 36 images. Most of those who follow me online have seen most of them…

Progress Report

The state of the girl book is as follows: I just finished a new one; I call her Thorny Rose. As of this writing, I have 35 illustrations. I am seriously considering getting to a nice round number (say, 36 or 48 or another nice-sounding less-than-100 number) and putting out a lesser version of the…
