Just had a confused person asking why I’m hoping to move away from education / working with kids. I answer that by telling the story of a time a teenager called me Hitler because I wanted them to eat some dinner after doing a full day of sports and skipping lunch…

So I promised myself I would do an art market or fair this year. I’d love some tips for preparation from someone who’s done it before. What kind of things surprised you? What did you wish you’d known for your first market?

I tried a life drawing class today - I’ve not done life drawing since about 10 years ago. It was fun! I’m going to keep making whatever I feel like for a bit ~

trying to remember that shitty art is better than no art so I gotta just draw whatever and not worry about it. can't get better if I'm not even doing it at all

I tried a new diet last week. It’s called “get food poisoning while trekking at altitude.” Lost 1kg in a week. Feels terrible. Do not recommend.

It was so cold that my camera stopped working, but I did manage to snap some photos on my phone by keeping it inside a glove inside my thermals

For the first time ever, I’m actually keeping a travel journal! Something about Nepal just makes me want to draw and write

I’ve been in Hanoi for a few months now, and I’m starting to build up the courage to use the Vietnamese I’ve managed to learn. But the tones are so hard, and I feel like a bumbling idiot!
Tôi đến Hà Nội vào tháng 9. Tôi đang học tiếng Việt. Tôi muốn nói tiếng Việt tốt, nhưng rất khó!

I keep a travel sketchbook, but I don’t do it until I get home from the trip. I prefer fully enjoying the moment as it’s happening and then painting it in the peace of the studio

Something being “difficult to read” isn’t a bad thing. Careful study, rereading, being challenged is key to reading — and to life. If you only want to “easy” art, maybe you don’t enjoy art at all so much as having your outlook supported and unchallenged.

Can we talk about how talented and hard working tour guides are?
We’re out here fighting for our lives while Nars is one handed driving so he can get videos of his customers

I love a good bit of off-beat travel — long hikes, scuba diving, camping and all that. But I also love coming home after the trip to a hot shower and my comfy bed

I’ve been trying to think of ways to display my photos and art together, so I’m trying my hand at some digital collaging. I think I like it!

I usually decorate my studio with prints I’ve bought from other artists, but I’ve decided the corner where I do yoga will be for my things — maps I’ve used, photos I’ve taken, and poster I’ve made based on my travels
