Ever since I discovered Pauline’s existence thanks to one of my brother’s Nintendo Powers as a kid, she’s been my favorite Mario characters. Of course i play her in every game, she’s a hottie #mario #pauline #artoftheday #journal #louisecarmen

Finished my first Dailies notebook, where I try to make art every day. I use these for everything, including doodling, testing art supplies, planning and testing ideas for larger art projects, art journaling about my day, plein air drawing, and more. #artjournal #louisecarmen #notebook

A journal cover made of grey linen and lines of colorful embroidery stitching.

I'm loving my "confetti" journal cover! But I have SO MANY ideas for others... Prototype #2 is underway. This is a cover that holds several A5 (~half-sheet size) notebooks or calendars or journals. Ideas in comments! Add yours!

Being sick sucks. Tip for the long-haired among us: if you have to lay out on a bed or a couch all day because you don’t have the energy to do anything but cough, braid your hair so you don’t get a rats nest

I pull a tarot card every morning and thought it would be fun to draw myself into the cards I pull. Also really into using highlighters right now.

A little dry run in preparation for Hourly Comics Day this Saturday. It’s prompting me to be more creative with featuring visually-boring activities like computer work.
