Sketches, Doodles, & Cetera

I get so inspired at the beginning of every year with all the goals and possibilities that the new year holds. So "Carpe Annum" - or "Sieze the Year" - has become my unofficial motto for this time of year. There's just something magical about new beginnings (or maybe it's just the sugar rush from eating nothing but holiday leftovers for a week straight). Hold on to some of that new year magic all January with these computer and phone desktops.

I've always dreamed of a silly little birthday party out in the woods, with mystical, magical attendees. Maybe it's just too many readings of Alice in Wonderland, or perhaps too much time spent on my own in the backyard as an only child. Either way, I'm definitely crossing my fingers for this ridiculous party for my birthday this year. I created this piece for Siren Nation's Celebration show last year, and I had so much fun coloring it in, I wanted to share the joy. If you want to see how I colored it, you can find prints and cards...

I took part in Inktober again this year, and it was a blast! Many of my drawings were witch-themed, and I thought they'd make fun, Halloween-y coloring pages. You can see all my posts on my Instagram. Files:• Download the Witch in a Faerie Ring coloring page here (PDF) - prints on 8.5" x 11" paper• Use regular printer paper or cardstock. You can even experiment with printing onto art papers to try some different coloring techniques.
