In this milestone Episode 160 of Backroomconvo's, I’m thrilled to pull back the curtain on a project close to my heart: my debut drawing book, released on April 8, 2025! Dive into an intimate conversation about the inspiration, challenges, and creative explosions that fueled this journey. I’ll share behind-the-scenes stories about curating the artwork, the vulnerable moments of self-doubt, and the joy of finally holding the finished product in my hands.
Whether you’re an artist, a creative soul, or just curious about the process of bringing ideas to life, this episode unpacks:
Themes and techniques featured in the book (hint: it’s not just about drawing!),
How I balanced perfectionism vs. progress in my work,
Sneak peeks into future projects (yes, there’s more where this came from!),
And why April 8, 2025 marks a new chapter for my art—and maybe yours too.
Grab your sketchpad, hit play, and let’s geek out about creativity, vulnerability, and the magic of making something real. Don’t forget to check out the book (available now wherever books are sold!) and tag me with your favorite pieces—I’d love to see how it inspires you.
