Patrons! It's FEBRUARY and Valentine's Day is just around the corner. There is a very strange trend to value our romantic partners and while I'm all for loving your people, I think an often undervalued way to do that is to take exceptional care of ourselves.
I made these Self-Love Sentiments as a reminder to myself that I can cherish all my people without prioritizing them over my well be...

Hello beautiful Patrons,
I’ve been trying to make an extra effort to spend time in my sketchbook these days. The problems that get worked out there, the ideas that grow - there’s nothing so effective. A lovely side effect of sketchbook time is that sometimes I look down and little creatures like this Hangy Tigur will come flying onto the page.
The chance to sit and think through...

Guess what wonderfuls? There's something new on deck in our Fourthwall shop and I wanted to share it with you wonderfuls first. These little notepads turned out so dang cute and I'm delighted with them. This little notepad measure 4.25 x 5.5 and features a Bizznizz Chimken grid for all your notetaking needs, plus a little doodle pond if you're feeling more like a lazy frog.
They'll be ava...

Sweet Patreon fam,
When we hit full on winter in my city, there are mountains of snow outside, sometimes taller than I am. They blanket everything and make it so beautifully quiet and muffled. It's peaceful and it can also feel like my motivation is buried beneath them.
I try to remind myself that when things are a slower pace on the outside, sometimes it's because my energy i...

Beautiful Patrons!
It's a whole new year and a world of possibilities. I know a lot of us dust off hobbies or head to good habits with new resolve. If you're looking for a simple, gentle way to add some creativity into 2023, I have a brand new Skillshare course called Watercolour Doodling: More Fun, Less Fuss that was recorded with YOU wonderful friends.
Happy 2023 Patrons!
A whole new year is here and I can't wait to make all kinds of artsy magic with and for you all! January's designs have VERY IMPORTANT information about the identification of your Yetis. Imagine mixing up a Yeti Spaghetti for a Yeti Upsetti? No. This would never do. I would never let this happen.
Enjoy these Yeti guides for all your devices and as always, if you ...

Thanks to YOUR incredible support, we do monthly sketchbook tours during the livestreams and it is such a wonderful way to time travel.

If the holidays feel less than happiest, you are invited to just wear these feetie-pyjamas I got you. I will get you extra marshmallows for your hot cocoa.

Sweet Patrons,
Winter in my city can be a time for hibernating and sometimes I have to remind myself what I like about the season. I’m in a place that gets COLD. Like..air hurts your face cold. BUT ALSO it is a beautiful picturesque, warm drinks and bundled blankets time.
NONE OF THAT MAJESTY COMPARES TO MY YETI HAT.

The December digital downloads are here! This time of year can be so full of magic, and it can also bring a lot of extra financial, social, and emotional pressure. Some of the hardest boundaries are set in response to phrases like "but it's THE HOLIDAYS."
And so. These little penguins are the Boundary Buddies. They are here to support you any time you need t...

The time has come. The pre-holiday season for many of us and the part where there's a lot of planning that takes place.
Friends, I get so much joy out of the holidays. It can be a really fun magical time in so many ways. It's also a time that our typical obligations and pressures can really increase. It's a time when a lot of folks have pressure to compromise on boun...

Hello lovely Patrons,
I've been working on a new skillshare class and it's all about doodling with watercolour. This month's perks are a celebration of a very special watercolour palette we'll be using in that class. I've also make some perks featuring these little wildnesses that I can't wait to share with you. As we move into colder months here in Canada, I'm in love with the idea of br...

Hello lovely Patrons,
When we crossed a massive milestone this past year, I started doing monthly sketchbook tours. This was one of those things that felt utterly outrageous when I first posted it and I am still occasionally overwhelmed by the idea that you all ACTUALLY support me to the extent that I'm able to do these tours.
It also has a spectacular side effect in that...

Hello beautiful Patrons,
Spooky season is upon us and I love the lore that comes with it. I've been thinking a lot about magic potions, and how there are things I so wish I could bottle and have at my disposal any time I needed them. It prompted the Potions for Patrons series, which is full of things I wish I could just have on hand to use and to give any time we needed them.
I hope...

Dear Patrons,
One of the things I most appreciate about the Patreon fam is that it brings a rhythm into my studio practice. Planning and designing, drawing and inking, printing then packaging. The designs for next month will often overlap with the printing and packaging for the current month and it’s not uncommon for me to have several months of Patreon designs and perks at different st...

Lovely Patrons,
There is a strange idea out in the world about being fearful of ageing. I understand - it can be a terrifying thing to move towards a different version of yourself. But I remember the anticipation and the appetite for the next year, the next grade, the next goal. I still get impatient for movement - for hitting another milestone or moving through another phase. I love the ...

Wonderful Patrons, this tour was such a delight. It actually popped up a little earlier than I had planned because sometimes that just how a livestream goes. These tours happen live on Twitch, typically at the start of each month, but the videos are available exclusively to the Patreon fam if you'd like to enjoy them later on.
This is probably one of the most recent sketchbooks we've tour...

I don't know what it is lately but I have gone down a rabbit hole of houseplants and I may never emerge. This latest excursion led me to look up the worlds deadliest plants because I'm fascinated by the Pretty/Deadly allure of these badass blooms.
