[Art Inside] Superb Owl Prints, Drawing Unicorns in Times of Trouble, and some Inside Baseball

Published 2 months ago • 1 min read

Short Month, short letter!

Hi Reader,

Did you guys see the Superb Owl for this year?

I'm actually really proud of this one. It's so much looser than I usually let myself be with an acrylic painting, like I'm finally letting myself have a little fun instead of having to prove I know how to render a subject.

The original is on its way to its forever home, but prints are available and through the end of March, they'll all contribute to the Superb Owl donation, which thanks to the Philadelphia Eagles, will be going to the Philadelphia Metro Wildlife center.

What's the Point of Drawing Unicorns When the World is On Fire?

I've been blogging a lot lately, like it's 2006 or something. I wrote a post recently about art as a survival tactic for Interesting times. You can read that here.

Trust the Process (But Swear a Lot)

Speaking of blogging, I'm taking a little risk over on the Creative Services side of the business by offering a paid subscription blog with an inside look at growing Sharptooth Snail as a business. I think it will mostly be of interest to clients and folks who took my course Make It Real, but for those of you who may be interested in some form of patronage to support my art and design practice, you can do that here.

That's it for now. Looking for more ways to bring the fun like it's my job, because it kind of is.

See you on the internet,

—Veronica

Janu-what now? Hi Reader, Soooo... 2025 is off to a start already, isn't it? I know a lot of you are, like me, in Southern California, and if you're affected by the fires (and it has affected all of us, to varying degrees), my heart is with you. We're safe where we are on the floor of the Valley, but friends in every direction had to evacuate, and some lost their homes. So now we've got to work together to do the rebuilding. I'm not the most cash-flush person in the world, but I want to help,...

[Art Inside] Coloring Collection 2024

Reader, it's COLD Outside! I know, nobody wants to hear the Californian complain about the cold, when she means like, 50 degrees, but it's all relative! Fortunately, my ancient Cintiq is toasty warm when I'm drawing on it, so that can only be a good thing for the art offerings this winter. The Long-Awaited Coloring Collection Is Here! The week between Christmas and New Years has a reputation for being a time without time... what day is it? Who knows! Do you have plans? Probably not. It's a...
