After taking MATS part A, I knew the amazing support and inspiration from the classmates, Lilla Rogers (our Fairy Artmother) and Beth Kempton are top-notch. And in making my plan for 2014, one of the biggest steps I need to take to make this art business dream a reality is make lots and lots of art and get it out in the world. About the time I am coming to this conclusion and scratching my head about how to do that, an announcement about this class shows up. Here's what's involved: get an assignment each month form Lilla Rogers, get inspiration and support from classmates while working on the assignment and upload it to a gallery that she will be promoting to folks looking for art. Um... yes please.
So bootcamp started this week with a "mini" focused on cuckoo clocks. I'm having a blast sketching lots of wacky little birdhouses and enjoying the tribe that the fellow classmates provide. Here's one of my initial sketches: 
(I keep hearing little 'cuckoos" in my head while sketching - is that a problem?) Keep checking back or follow me on Instagram for regular updates on my progress. I'd be honored to have you join me. Thanks for checking in!
