Hello Patrons and pals, and happy OCTOBER!!!
The summer has been holding on TIGHT to Seattle the past month, with unseasonably warm temperatures, smoke from wildfires drifting from the mountains, and no rain in sight. :( But you know the Halloweeny spirit is still strong here at Ragonia studios, and has been for weeks!
Settle in y'all, and let me share with you what I got up to in September!

Hellooo Art Town Residents, and welcome to a new month.
And new SEASON, the best, spookiest season! I am fully transitioned emotionally to autumn (I'm listening to a Halloween Focus playlist while I write this) but I'm going to force my brain to travel back in time to tell you about AUGUST!
Let's get to it!

Hyello summertime Art Town Residents!
Summer has officially arrived in Seattle, and I'm enjoying it best I can before I start longing for my beloved Autumn. I'm in my summery dresses, the fans are whirring, and I've already drank a whole pitcher of fresh watermelon juice (my favorite summer bev.)
My apologies for skipping out on the podcast part of the newsletter the past two months, I hope you still enjoy a written newsletter! Sometimes I just need the quickes...

Friday's greetings to you, Residents of Art Town!
I'm writing to you from the slowly warming Seattle. Flowers are blooming, rain is currently falling, birds are singing, and the nearby arterial street is full of the noisy whoosh of heavy tires on asphalt speeding towards their weekend camping trips in the mountains, and that means it's late spring!
I had a busy and eventful month, which I'm excited to share with you today. What did I get up to in May, a...

Last week I worked on two more POSCA marker paintings and had an absolutely lovely time!

A couple brave souls joined in the practice and we all felt either rusty or totally new...

Howdy Residents! Thanks for joining last week's livestreams!
I had seriously fulfilling time doing studies of Yzma from Emperor's New Groove and Milo from Atlantis on Procreate. Anytime I do Master Studies from animated characters ( or anytime at all really,) I feel like I learn so so much about design and illustration. And it's so fun! We'll definitely have to do it again.
Here's my two final studies, each took about 1.5 hours:

The dust has started to settle from the hubbub of December, the whirlwind promises and dreams of New Years has sifted into the reality of every day. Which means it's the perfect time to wade into my annual tradition of reflecting on the year.
Every January I like to look back on the projects, themes, and achievements for each month to see (and share with you) how much (or little) I get done in a span of time. Whether you'...
