21 – Saturday

Yesterday was hectic; the first day since starting the challenge that I didn’t actually draw anything for myself 🙁

One of the many errands I ran was picking up my Yuki-Onna and Amanda Crow pieces from the framers and dropping them off at the Society of Illustrators for the Book & Editorial show, which opens January 28th. I’m going to be at the awards ceremony on Feb. 6th to celebrate. Hope to see you there!

While I was dropping off my editorial and book pieces, I took a couple of pictures of my piece in the Sequential exhibit, and had the rare opportunity to be the fly-on-the-wall as two older ladies looked at and discussed my ESPN comic. Some of the stuff they said was comical to me, but it was all flattering.

Also, I received my easel in the mail from my parents on Friday. WOO! I’m so excited to have it here with me. So many hundreds of hours have been spent standing or sitting in front of it. It’s funny how something I used to take for granted now holds so much sentimental meaning to me. I can’t wait to bust out the oils.

Lastly, here are today’s sketches, drawn at Starbucks. I was really enjoying myself and could have spent all day there, but decided to head back to the studio and take care of some errands.

Thanks for reading,
