Visited the Indiana statehouse to support my library yesterday, and participated in a little “read-in” protest in front of the Lieutenant Governor’s office. #urbansketch #library

“Iron Widow” by Xiran Jay Zhao
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book is THE embodiment of feminine rage. SO GOOD! The sci-fi and fantasy elements were so fun, I just loved it! #booksky 💙📚

Scrolled through my photos and found this drawing I’ve never posted before, all the way back from 2020. I wanted Black voices to be heard, and not my white privilege.

Remember George Floyd. BLACK LIVES MATTER #blacklivesmatter #blm

I hate coffee, but doodling at coffee shops is a vibe. Featuring Creamsicle Lemonade (SO GOOD!) #sketchbook #smallartist

“Mistborn” by Brandon Sanderson
⭐️⭐️⭐️

As a fantasy book lover, I thought I’d enjoy this more. It just fell flat for me, and I can’t really figure out why. Also, why is this book over 200k words? It’s MASSIVE and this is the shortest adult Sanderson book. Is he crazy? #booksky 💙📚

I was able to join @urbansketchers.bsky.social in Indianapolis at the Stutz! It’s so cool to see what everyone creates at the end. #urbansketch

Slowly but surely working on this! #wip #kidlitart

No work today, so my goal is to get color on this. I’m terrified 😅 #kidlitart #wip

“Fahrenheit 451” by Ray Bradbury
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Excuse me while I read literary analysis on all the symbolism of this book. Beautifully crafted, if a bit dense at times. I might start reading more “English Classics” because of this. #booksky 💙📚

Same here! I went to a local bookstore that is unfortunately closing soon and walked every aisle to find all the books I wanted. This title made me laugh!

I was at a coffee shop trying to figure out what makes a dragon look like a dragon. It didn’t go too hot.
