One down eleven more to go! I hope this new year has been kind to you so far. I haven’t been doing as much traditional art as I had hoped, but there is still plenty of time
Now, let us stroll through your studio, wherever that may be, your spare bedroom, garage, or in my case the kitchen table, and let us peek at what you are working on. We are NOT here to critique, but to support and encourage, applaud, and of course ooh and aah.
I completed #Storystorm challenge in January (30 PB ideas in 31 days) so celebrating with this little illo. The rows of pink blobs at the bottom are my idea trackers, I added 1 blob for each idea written down. It was a very inspiring exercise...even got some partial manuscripts out of it. Time to edit and polish soon.

I write weekly on mondayblues.substack.com
I've been working through the 100+ things to include in your portfolio to get mine finished. Would love critique on this!
@Tom-Harshberger Is the “100 Things” an SVS class? I need in on this haha
EDIT: nvm, I Googled it and found the class! Now I CAN get in on this 
@StudioHannah It's a great one. Really helpful to get my ducks in a row!
Hi SVS Fam!
I’m excited to share that I recently opened a merch shop on Threadless to make my art available for fine art prints and apparel.
I wanted to make my art available without having to print and ship myself due to limited time and resources, so I’m giving this a shot.
Please know I’m not trying to promote or spam this group; but rather, sharing my progress with this amazing community as I continue with you all on this journey in making art.
Thanks for taking a peak; feel free to let me know what you think!

@Melissa_Bailey I love the balance in the composition and the mouse is super cute!!
@Asyas_illos I love this lineless style. It's like a balance between comic style and painterly.
I've been missing the regular monthly prompts lately! Anyone know when they will resume?
I am waiting for my first book to publish in March with Arcadia Children's Books! In the meantime, I'm learning how to make seamless repeating patterns for licensing. (hopefully)
@Jeremy-Ross Your fruit guys are so fun!!! I hope your shop blows up!!
