Hey friend!
The weather’s taken a frosty turn, and I’ve been spending my free time staying cozy watching shows while sketching. This next few months, I’m ready to lean into a wintering season.
But before that, I’ve got some updates for you! Here’s what you can expect in this letter:
Print shop opening (and a subscriber-only discount code!)
Magical Naturalism Recap
Sketches
Link round-up
My print shop is open!! After taking a year off selling prints online, we’re back!
Shop prints ranging from 5x7 to 11x14. Plus, you can snag a limited number of mystery print bundles of discontinued, B-grade prints.
All new prints were produced locally by Replicate Print! So glad to partner with a small business that is a 15-minute walk from my house.
Newsletter subscribers can get 20% off of their order with the code NEWSLETTER20!
I can’t believe it’s been over a month since the show!! It’s taken me just about that long to recover. 😅
SO thankful to everyone’s support! It was absolutely surreal to showcase my work in such a beautiful, historic space.
Professionally framing pieces really elevated the work. Thank you, The Framery Etc.
I felt really proud of how far my work has come this year. Several pieces even sold to strangers!
Lots of foot traffic on First Friday. The windows really glow at night and invite folks into the building.
Food spread looked amazing—couldn’t have done it without help from friends!!
Art Walk weekend was slow. I need better signage to get foot traffic during daylight hours. Or maybe next year, I host a watercolor workshop instead?
I got sick TWICE—before and after the show. 🤧 In retrospect, I need to take better care of myself despite the time crunch.
Next year, I need to make my name a little more visible throughout the exhibit. Maybe a clear artist statement instead next year.
Thank you all AGAIN for making this such a wonderful event!
Now to rest, and plot out next year. 💛
Slowly, I’ve been getting back into a regular drawing rhythm. Here’s some of what’s in my digital sketchbook!
App: Pimsleur
I’ve been itching to brush up on my French, so I’ve been listening to Pimsleur lessons on my walks. This is my favorite language-learning app because it forces you to listen and respond conversationally. My link will give you a 7-day free trial if you’d like to try it!
Book: The Skull: A Tyrolean Folktale
Spooky is having a moment in children’s literature. In this book, our lost protagonist discovers an abandoned house and makes friends with a skull. The illustrations are wonderful because—of course—it’s Jon Klassen.
If something stood out to you in this newsletter, please let me know! Reply or leave a comment. It really makes my day. 💛
Talk to you again in December!!
All my best,
Reagan
