Hi all my lovely friends!
It has been a fun couple of weeks. In an attempt to get off my phone, I got a new Instax camera! I have a tendency to take a bazillion photos of a moment with my phone and then struggle to find the right one which then results in me refusing to delete anything. My phone currently has close to 14,000 photos… Yikes! So I’m hoping to bring this Instax camera around with me and be more selective in the moments I decide to capture. It’s also way more special having a physical photo. Here are some photos from the past couple weeks:
In other news, I had two pieces of mine in the Society of Illustrator’s Original Art Show. I got to attend opening night where it was packed with all the hottest creators in picture books:
My friend
(who runs the coolest Substack ever called ) had a piece in the show as well so she flew in from LA to attend it and to visit me. While she was here, she got on my ass about not getting enough rest… Whoops! She also recently struggled with wrist issues and she took a healthy (proper) break and now she’s much better.So, yes, as the title says, I am officially going to be taking a little break from this newsletter over the holidays. I’ve started occupational therapy for my wrist from a recommended therapist and I’m determined to get better.
If you’re a paid/comped susbcriber, have no fear! All paid/comped subscriptions will be paused during this time, so don’t worry about being charged while I’m away. If you paid yearly, you’ll get all the time I’m away added onto whatever you have left when I start up paid posts again.
It feels a bit dumb to take a break when I’m getting good reach with this newsletter, but ultimately I gotta put baby (me) first!
Hopefully, I’ll return with the buffest hand ever.
Thank you for sticking around, and hopefully you’ll still be here when I get back.
In the meantime, I do have 92 posts on Substack and you can check out the archive for your Am I Doing This Right fix.
Love you guys!
P.S.
Knowing me, I’ll probably still be posting next week lol. But hey, an official announcement takes the pressure off! Okay, bye!
OH HELL YEAH! Soak up your well deserved and much needed break!! 😌😌😌
Enjoy your rest! Congrats on all of the success that broke you, but I’m glad you’re taking time to heal.
