Hi all. Well, the video from yesterday went up on the site ok, but my email was blank when I got it. Bummer. I’m sorry if you thought there was no post yesterday. I’d figured if it was good online it’d be good in the email... and my emails don’t come until late evening, so I didn’t catch it. But it’s here on the site if you want to check!
Figured out how to make this today. Thought you’d enjoy. I’m not sure it is going to post correctly tho, so if it doesn’t I’ll put something else up later in the day.
In case you’re wondering, the apple is in the lower left. The title references Glennon Doyle’s latest book: Untamed, which is drop-everything required reading as far as I’m concerned.
In other news, I’m up to 97 followers on Instagram, which is exciting as at 100 I get to have some metrics about them. Please feel free to comment on any image, should the mood strike you. I’d love to hear from you.
Oops—this was supposed to be posted Wednesday instead of a 2-fer Tuesday, which means you saw this yesterday Sorry about that. I’ve got no buffer now so I don’t have something else to post instead. Whatever I do today is what you’ll see tomorrow. I need to do several a day for a while to build my buffer back up so I can have free days when necessary.
Commission request: “Do an Apple drawing like you think a little kid would do it, like if a TV show needed a kid’s drawing they probably don’t have a kid really do it because you need it to look a certain way. Can you do one you think looks like a real kid drew it?” I don’t know. Here’s my shot.

This project started as an exercise to learn and practice with all the functionality of the Art Set 4 app on my new iPad Pro. I had lusted after this particular piece of technology for some years and found myself, upon its arrival, simultaneously both extremely excited to finally have it in my hot little hands, and so intimidated by all the available art media and effects in Art Set that I was afraid to even try it. I was suffering from the proverbial artist’s “white page” paralysis. I just sat there with the iPad on my lap and Art Set open, the Apple Pencil in my hand...utterly stuck. My son said, “Just draw an apple.” OK, I knew I could do that. An apple was safe. So I did. The next day I did another, and the next day another.
