If you read my blog a lot, you might remember my photoshop cry for help from a while back. Well I think I should pop open a bottle of champagne.

Because I found them online again!!

I almost cried from happiness. This small sketch was my way of saying “omgisitreallyyouit’sbeenforeverhowareyoudoing” to these beloved brushes.

You can get them for yourself straight from the artist, Chris Wahl: here!

About the sketch: It’s a (sort of) portrait of Cathy Ames from “East of Eden.” Her character creeps me the heck out.

Well I'm not usually one for New Year's resolutions (and quite frankly, this is late on the draw anyhow) but I've fallen off the wagon of drawing daily and I desperately need to get back on it. For my own sanity.

So I'm going to start daily posts again.

I know. I've said this before. But with the help of my sidekick, I'm going to really try to make this happen. I'm easing myself into it with the goal of completing 1 month of daily posts. I will then reward myself with something like lipgloss or nailpolish or an oil change on my car. Then I'll set the goal for 2 months, etc etc.

I'm telling you this so I can try to hold myself accountable. I hope you will feel comfortable enough to harass me if it seems like I might give up.

Don't expect anything too funny or thought provoking or even pretty to look at. If I manage to post an undignified middle finger scribbled on the back of a Target receipt, I will count that day as a success.

So tomorrow today begins my journey. Thanks for listening. Seacrest out.

This is a shot in the dark (mostly because my lack of posting means a lack of readers), but I'm hoping someone out there in the World Wide Internet can help me.

A few weeks ago I was doing some intense relaxation sketching. I thought it would be a good idea to streamline my brush palette down to the ones I actually use to facilitate the drawing process: some customs, a few presets, and my beloved set of watercolor strokes. In my flurry of sketching (which is actually pretty high-stress), I accidentally DELETED my favorite set of brushes in the world. It was a free set that I found on the internet a while back, so I have no clue where it came from or who made it.

I used them for everything and they were the closest I had found to a digital version of natural watercolors.
