Hi awesome rogues!
I am slowly making my way back after being completely out of commission for the last two months. My body took me on a wild health ride, but I’m finally on the mend and finding my footing again.
Please bear with me as I navigate getting back into the swing of things. Between catching up on Patreon, answering messages, and sorting through a mountain of back-end business stuff that piled up while the engine was off, I have quite a bit to sift through! I’m taking it one day at a time so I don’t accidentally wipe myself out again.
To kick off our return, we have our July schedule locked in. You’ll notice a quick change right at the start of the month, but we are ready to dive back into the creative chaos with you.
Artist Quote of the Month
From my new book:
“IF IT ISN’T PLAY, YOU ARE WASTING YOUR CHANCES OF SUCCESS.”
Use this form in your studio this month as a visual anchor to remind yourself to bring the fun back into your practice! We also have exclusive videos and podcasts, blogs, books, updates, grants, residencies, resources, discounts, and downloads in store for you this month.
Your July Schedule
Links for all live content and meetings will be posted on Patreon on the day of the event. Here is what we have lined up:
- Sun, Jul 5: LIVESTREAM CANCELLED. We were originally scheduled to do a live stream while picking up art from an exhibition in Foxburg, but we’ve had to cancel this one as I continue to recover. Thank you for understanding!
- Sun, Jul 12 (5 PM to 6 PM Eastern): Private Live Podcast: Expectations vs Reality for Creatives. (Open to Patreon Only, All Tiers).
- Sat, Aug 15: Collab Lab Challenge Deadline! You have some extra runway for this one. Submissions for “Golden Hour” are due by mid-August (Open to Patreon Only, All Tiers).
- Sun, Jul 19 (5 PM to 6 PM Eastern): Private Artist Group Meeting: Finishing What You Started. Please note the time change for this one—we will see you at 5 PM on Google Meet! (Open to Patreon Only, $12 Tier).

I’ve attached the full July 2026 Schedule as a PDF at the bottom of this post so you can print it out, stick it on your studio wall, and stay aligned with the community this month.
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your incredible patience, sweet messages, and unwavering support over the last couple of months. You rogues are truly the best community an artist could ask for.
Remember to have fun and stay awesome and creative!
