Heads Up

So I recently submitted this Crossbody Leather Bag to the Amazon Vine program (free product in exchange for a review). If any of you lovely artists happen to be in the program you might scoop one up.

I don’t actually know how to get into the Vine program, before you ask:) I think it is invite only though…

If it shows out of stock, don’t worry, more are on the way!

Iphone tip

So this next tip requires some tools, but artists tend to be very DIY so I’ll go ahead and share. When sketching from your phone it’s nice to have it stay in place, especially when working on a tilted surface or your lap.

So what I do is hang it on a metal book mark. With a pair pliers and cutters, I cut one side of the metal book mark and then fold up the end in a hook fashion. The cut end is sharp so should be sanded. I just put some tape on the end. Then install one of those stick on phone finger grips and walla!

Oldie but Goodie

OK, so I’ve had this bookmarked in my browser for years and reread it every so often. Even if you don’t paint, give it a read. Getting to glimpse the thought process of exceptional talents is always a treat.

How was today's edition??
