I love birthdays, it's like the perfect excuse to do anything I like for a day! Actually I've been so busy I haven't really prepared this time, but I think I'm still going to bake myself a cake, even if it's going to be a little late. I got an iPad case and keyboard as a gift already - score! Thanks to everyone wishing me well

I've got two works in progress over at wipnation if anyone is interested in following along as I go through the painting progress. One of them is an entry for the art order evolution challenge closing on sunday. I'll post them here as soon as I finish.

Hello after a looong while
Hey everyone! I know I have been gone for a loong time, I hope you have all been well! The last few years have played havoc on my art life, as I’ve had two kids, and time and sleep have been scarce. My daughter is now one, and I’ve been scraping by little bits of time to make art again for the past six months. I think I’ve made real progress though! I’ve always felt a bit dissatisfied with a lot of art I was making, like I’d come up with a good idea for a painting I’d be technically satisfied with, but just lack motivation to see it through. So I’ve been spending a lot of time finding what actually inspires me and how to dig art from those inspirations. It’s still a work in progress, but expect to see things that come from nature, a vintage vibe and watercolor and ink. I’ll be working on posting up stuff I’ve been working on in a bit! Stay safe and healthy all!
500 Watchers Celebration!
I feel like a total dork in social media in general, so at this time I'd just like to add a big thank you to everyone for watching, it means a lot to me!
As a little update on what's up, I'm continuing my personal project of which
is the first completed piece. 4 more pieces in the same vein should follow during January. I'm super happy to be trying out something totally new and diving into traditional media, I was starting feel really stuck in my work for some reason. I've been blogging a lot about the progress I'm making, so head over there for any progress shots and musings!

Great Art Books for Beginners
I started a series of posts about art books I like over at my blog. As the first installment I'm listing all the art books I loved or wished I had when starting out.
Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain by Betty Edwards
Drawn to life by Walt Stanchfield vol 1 and 2
The Weatherly Guide to Drawing Animals by Joe Weatherly
The Practice and Science of Drawing by Harold Speed
Drawing Lessons from the Great Masters by Robert Beverly Hale
See the post for individual run down of the books, and why I think they are great.
Want a a tutorial? Ask for tutorial!
So lately I have been dipping my toe into tutorial making, by doing a few very straightforward pieces, one on Photoshop vectors and layers (apple tutorial) and the other for making cool journal buttons (aren't they cool?!).
Here's where you come in! I'd like to write some more tutorials, but obviously it's a lot more rewarding to write about stuff people actually want to know. So what do you want to learn from me? I won't promise instant delivery, but I'll take all suggestions under consideration!
Also, any feedback on the clarity and pacing etc of the current tutorials is welcome, help me improve!
