Yesterday was the annual Good Ship Planning Party. Did you come along? If not, don’t worry, you can catch the replay here. Pals who plan together, succeed together! Pencil Pals is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. After a few full-on work years I was feeling frazzled. The work was glorious, with lots of incredible, fun and fulfilling projects. But even happy things take their toll.

So true, I always love reading about your creative process and enjoy writing about my own because I also learn stuff about myself and kind of clarify and remind myself of how it all happens! And sometimes it's years later I can clearly understand the significance of certain ideas and decisions. Thank you for the free posts, I'm going to have a look at the Procreate one.

Morning! Today is my first official day back at my desk after I got the stove roaring so hot back in December that I fell into a Christmas stupor - involving telly/ jigsaws/ my Mum’s pineapple cheesecake/ a bit of family grumpiness/ and a lot of fun playing Herd Mentality (have you played it? I love it cos you don’t need to have the sort of brain that remembers facts and figures, you can play it with little kids who don’t know many facts yet and oldies who are forgetting them. 😂).
