Life Sucks, Sometimes You Just Need to Dance

So as you know, I am in B School (online business school) , and while it's amazing, I am a little overwhelmed. I am also in a Make Art That Sells course, and the same and I am also in a children's writing course. AHHHH how will I do it all? The there is life, ah life that thing we all have, and this week has been a hard one for many reasons, you want to see how I handle it? Click the video and also you should try it yourself! Hehe Have a great one.  Oh and if you want to sign up for my fun newsletter with FREE doodles and FREE smiles here you go FREE SMILES!

Update on B School

Hey everyone, sorry I have been so busy that I haven't been posting and I don't have a video today, but I have this drawing I did yesterday, it expresses how I am feeling about B School and everything related. It is scary. It's scary to add optins and have newsletters going out, it's scary to promote myself, it's scary because I am out of cash, but I know it will be worth it. I have already learned so much that I can't tell you. I think about the last 5 years and 5 years ago, I was in the same financial boat I am in now, sure I work all the time. I am rarely out of work, but I have to look constantly and it never seems to be enough and I live a modest life-trust me. I am going to B school to change that, thing is I can't afford it, so if you would like to donate to help me, I would love that. Here is my campaign https://fundly.com/send-me-to-b-school I am lucky that I have been getting a lot of illustration work as traditional animation winds down

B School, MATS, Children's Academy!

Hey everyone so I wanted to write a short blog about why I have been gone a week!! First of all, YAY B SCHOOL. This is already changing me and we are on day 3. It is really amazing, no wonder Marie is making millions selling her course that she has really perfected in my opinion. It is time consuming. I am also in MATS with Lilla Rogers,  http://lillarogers.com/make-art-that-sells/ I am in both bootcamp and the full course A which starts on March 31st. and I am finishing a course in writing children's picture books,  http://www.childrensbookacademy.com/writing-childrens-picture-books.html so I am busy! I feel like all of the things I am doing are working towards my goal of doing what I love and being financially independent-it's not easy but it is great! I am still selling prints and raising money for b school if you'd like to donate, please let me know and or use the fundly link below. https://fundly.com/send-me-to-b-school Sorry for the short blog, but

And Finally I am Doing Something Right B School

So here is the written part. I am not sure about the whole video thing, but I am very comfortable in front of a camera, in fact I kinda love being in front of cameras. My mom used to sing the song "You're So Vain" to me.. yeah when I was a LITTLE KID, but I was always like, "and your point is what exactly?" LOL I wanted to be an actress, so it fit. Anyhow, I digress, as usual. Here I am less than a week from the start of B School excited, scared, worried, thrilled, inspired etc.. I am learning so much already about how I have been doing things wrong. I am taking this week to chill out. Last month I had a client who did this to me... and I know that I am a writer, but I could not make this stuff up. She hired me, I let her pay less than 50% because she was older and I felt bad in our first meeting she told me how broke she was, I felt bad. This was a huge mistake, than she started blowing up my phone 24/7. I had to send her emails telling her to stop

Monday March3rd-MORE ON B SCHOOL I LOVE IT

Hi everyone, so I posted another video, are you getting sick of these yet? LOL So here is the thing. I LOVE B School, totally worth the money-that I don't have YET..I am waiting to hear if I got one of two Shopify scholarships, meanwhile I am still raising funds via Fundly and I have almost enough for the first month's payment. I am also selling prints etc... and my birthday is in two days.. so happy to take birthday donations as well. I have had a hard Feb dealing with this one client. She is older, quite a bit and I thought that we were going to have a great relationship well, she is talking to her friends and their friends and clients etc. and they have no idea about children's book illustration so now I am going through the trying to get my money, even though we had a contract-to which she is now in breach. I haven't delivered the final files and won't until the check is here and cashed, but it's just a pain. I believe that when I start selling more art
