I have TWO coloring books coming out through Hay House this year.

I've never done a coloring book before. So, it's been real exciting.

One of the fun parts was taking one of the pages and coloring it in digitally for the cover.

I'm not great at digital art... but I think it came out pretty well.

What do you think?

Here's the pen and ink line work (that's in the coloring book)

There's going to be 40 illustrations per book.

The title of this book will be:

"Curls, Swirls, Braids & Beards

A Coloring Book of Self-Expression, Humanity & Hair"

(but this is still all super secret. So I'm not supposed to talk about it)

Didn't even come CLOSE to finishing my 2025 Travel Journal... so I'm going to just start 2026 right here.

Hopefully this year I can leave the Hobbit Hole a bit more.

Thank you for always inspiring me with amazing reference Red's Reference.

A Quote from my book Becoming an Artist:

"Make art for you. The way you want to.

Don’t listen to know-it-alls who try to make you feel bad because you don’t adhere to their definition of how an artist SHOULD make art. Those people typically don’t have a unique thought in their head anyhow and are intimidated by anyone who “colors outside of the lines.” But history has shown that the world THRIVES on those of us who don’t do things “the right way.”

We’re the “weird ones.”

The “troublemakers.”

The “rule breakers.”

Or maybe we’re just mostly neurodivergent, and we hate when people tell us what to do. What do I know? I majored in art . . . not psychology. Either way, go be weird with your art. Hold your pencil funny. Mix your mediums. Break rules. And most of all, have fun."

I'm so sad!

I just finished the fifth book in the Lockwood & Co. series and there's no more books!

It was SO GOOD!

So, in my misery. I did a little doodle this morning of "Skull"

(Yes. He's a ghost in a jar)

It was a crazy year. A rough one.

But, thanks to my friends... we made it.

Thank you all!

Art vs Artist 2025 I didn't make as much art this year as I'd have liked to (other than 100 mini album covers), but... I made art.

Over 200 people and FOUR STRAIGHT HOURS OF SIGNING at Plaza Art in Nashville for my second ever book signing and I am still processing the kindness and generosity and art-sharing I experienced yesterday.

The line wrapped around the inside of the store and I felt so bad that people were waiting hours in line, but huge thanks to Kimber, Rachel, Eve, Caitlyn and Henry for walking the lines and keeping everyone hydrated and handing out bags of popcorn.

The art I received from artists who traveled all the way from Chicago and New Orleans and North Carolina and Alabama and even as far as Washington State left me speechless.

I can't express (mostly because I'm so horrible at expressing my emotions) how much it meant to meet you all. I hope I spent enough time with each of you. I wanted to make each meeting special. To let you know, in some way, how much you mean to me.

I hope I did.

Thank you to Plaza for hosting this and for all you did to make the event go perfectly.

When your 87 year old mom goes to every book store in town to make sure they're carrying her son's new book. ❤️

My first ever book "Becoming an Artist" just came out and she's still my biggest fan.

[batwynn]

Have you seen the book that just came out by Scott Christian Sava? Becoming an Artist I started reading it and it made me cry. My art has not ever been supported by my family or anyone so it just hit hard. If you get a chance I fully recommended reading it

Oh, yeah. Reading the description feels like it's going to punch me in the heart, too. I'm also very sorry to hear that you've had so little support, anon. ; n ;

100 days of music.

100 days of making art to give away at the pinboard at my local art store.

Each piece, 3x3 inches.

A 25 minute time limit.

Trying to capture the essence of the album cover.

What a fun experience. 

You can see the art I traded for here: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/15_u1tn7apQ

And here's a collection of all of the art I made in the order I made them:

What’s an art piece you’re really proud of, even if it doesn’t seem like much (like, you didn’t spend all too long on it or it’s not very technically complicated; you just like how it came out)?

This one. It's of Sacha Baron Cohen as the Station Inspector from the movie Hugo. I was just kind of playing around and I really like it for some reason. Gouache on 5x7 inch Aquabord
