March 2022 — round-up of posts

Here is quick master list of the March 2022 blog posts (not including Patreon posts). Fewer posts this month, because I took a break during the floods.

The starred posts have (or relate to) art and writing exercises (tags: writing exercise, art exercise), but most of the observation journal posts can generally be adapted for those purposes too.

Posts over on Patreon, at various tiers, included: sneak peeks of illustration projects, tiny details of yet-to-be-published maps, an untamed Dalek, glimpses of test prints for some evolving projects, process posts, printable bookmarks and borders, and a several weeks of observation journal pages (with PDFs).
