ArtStack PodcastThe Bookmark ProjectAt long last, an overdue update to The Bookmark Project! This July, I’ll be attending the big event in DC called the World Children’s Festival! (I’ve mentioned July 4th as the weekend it happens but on the website it now says July 25 to Monday, July 27, 2026, so I’ll confirm!) I’ve been fundraising for the International Child Art Foundation (ICAF) for years now, and this is a natural next step for our community to get involved hands-on!The Bookmark GuidelinesLet’s make the children served by ICAF at the festival thi...

ArtStack PodcastWhy unboxing this YouTube Award makes me want to beat the algorithm even moreIn this episode of the monthly podcast: Unboxing the recently-arrived award that YouTube sends to creators as they cross the 100,000 subscriber threshhold. Unless you’re Sandy Allnock, in which case you get it after another 60,000 subscribers. Grrr!I had to do my own legwork to find out what happened. Every few years I got a bee in my bonnet and would try to reach out to them, but to little avail; I was always told there “must have been something wrong with my channel” because the process is automatic. But this fall I found someone willing to escala...

ArtStack PodcastFly Agaric Mushroom sketchThank you to everyone who tuned into my live video! Join me for my next live video in the app.Oh my - this is a poisonous mushroom! Fly Agaric is romanticized in all those “cute” kids book illustrations, tea towels, and more - but don’t go eating it! yikes. Symptoms include “nausea, drowsiness, muscle spasms, low blood pressure, hallucinations and loss of balance. In extreme cases, seizures and coma have been recorded. Symptoms typically appear between 30-90 minutes after consumption and peak within three hours, although many unlucky souls have reported ‘piercing headaches’ for many days after.”...

ArtStack PodcastWatercolor Lace (Podcast Season 1 Ep 7)Introducing….the pod! I accidentally started one, and thought, well, hey - let’s see if this thing has legs, right?I know that I love me a good podcast with a silky voice. I listen to all kind of pods - history, science, politics, international affairs, trade, tech. As long as the voice tickles my fancy, I’ll let someone talk in my ears about whatever they want for an hour. I don’t know that I’d listen to me, but fortunately that’s not something I can make the call on. It’s you, the lis...

ArtStack PodcastHow a book artist is madeI love hearing about people’s passions in whatever they’re into, and since I love Crystal’s work making sketchbooks, it was particularly wonderful to hear how she got into it - and came back after a hiatus. It’s important that we take care of ourselves in the midst of even living out our passions…a lesson I need to learn from her! I do hope you’ll take time this weekend to listen to her wisdom, as well as see the watercolor tutorial later in this post!Crystal’s links so you can find her: her shop...

ArtStack PodcastAutumn puddle in TehranTehran puddles look just like American puddles. When writing this post I found out where it was taken - and had a little smile inside knowing that some things really are the same wherever you go. So here’s the photo I worked from by Abolfazl Raghebi, a car photographer in Tehran - cropped in to fit my horizontal sketchbook.Thank you Tara Dawn, Debbie NV, Nancy, Michele Kudrich, Beth Mattheus, and many others for tuning into my live video! It was slightly nervewracking to do live, especially when I wasn’t sure how to handle thos...

ArtStack PodcastLion's mane in pen and inkTrying out Substack live, drawing a lion’s mane in pen and ink - and attempting, as much as possible, to speak in complete sentences. Which isn’t always an easy thing to do while drawing! Thank you so much to those who helped me come kick the tires and find out a livestream is vertical only….At the end I flipped through the sketchbook that might become a coloring book to fundraise for my more serious drawing book - let me know if there’s something in there you’d like to see more of for a coloring...

ArtStack PodcastHow World Watercolor Month was bornHello my friends! I’m back. Or about to be.The video posted here isn’t about me being back, but….it’s one I’m tickled pink to share. My friend Charlie O’Shields and I recorded this on Tuesday, and he just makes me grin from ear to ear when we talk! (And now apparently after this video, we’re committed as lifelong friends, which also makes me happy!)Charlie’s an encouraging soul, a big kid, a guy with a lot on his plate. He started World Watercolor Month (pick up some swag for charity...
