My Pokemon Fanart Workspace
This is where all the Pokemon fanart is created. The table is the Ikea Jokkmokk kitchen table which I’ve had forever – it comes with 4 chairs!

Drawing Pokemon Fanart a Day
It all started out as a fun activity to do with my Pokemon-obsessed kiddo. But then, it quickly morphed into a creative project to work on. My only criteria is that I work only with crayons and to fit in one drawing a day. I’m 19 days in and it’s been a blast. I’ve fallen…

Back to School
…never sounded so sweet. The last few weeks have been T-O-U-G-H. The rain-battered flower above best expresses the state of my soul as the husband and I juggled work, facing the consequences of failing to sign the kiddo up for extended summer camp options and then – to top it all off – the kiddo…

Tiktok told me that if you listen to the Interstellar soundtrack while you work, then you’ll be more focused and…it’s true. Enjoy this 10-hour loop.
