I was excited to see you were going to be at Sketcherfest again this year. It looks like your workshop is already sold out, but I look forward to your artist talk and am considering joining one of your ArtSpot workshops in August.

I missed your last subscriber talk, but am also interested in joining your snail mail experiment! Thanks :)

I would love to see you snail mail! So amazing that the workshop sold out so quickly. If you can make it to the art spot events, that would be great. I will have more time on hand that weekend. :)

I love that you’re doing these workshops, and wish I could be there! You’ve inspired me to start bookbinding again - thank you. Question: what paper are you using for your sketchbook insides? I’ve loved seeing you build sketching challenges into the books themselves - something for me to aspire to.

Hi Jocelyn, for paper I go to my art supply store and get big sheets of mixed media, 250gsm paper by Canson, Stonehenge, and other brands. I'm going to try some lighter papers for the next one.

This is helpful - thanks! Time for another run to the art store 😬

Honestly it's the same papers we get in most sketchbooks. Take it as a chance to explore what else your local store has in stock!

I saw Ghost In the Machine at SIFF, about AI. It was fantastic and, suprisingly, I didn't feel terrible/depressed afterwards. Thank you for the links! I'll see you at Sketcher Fest on that Sunday - yay!

I'm going to look into that film!

I didn't have an Artist Talks pass for sketcherfest but learning of your talk put me over the line where it's cheaper to get one then pay individually. I follow you in the Artist's Lounge schedule.

I've made a monthly 'Zine since May of 2022. I send it out free to a few friends and family. I have a good retirement so I don't need or want to run a business!

Kate, I will bring you a copy when I'm Edmonds. And would love to send you snail mail as well. :)
