It's June 2, which means Pride Month is officially underway. I'm giving you a whole book to celebrate.

I discovered drawing mandalas completely by accident. Years later, they are still my favorite things to draw and color.

I love journals. Writing in them? That's a different story. If you've ever bought a beautiful journal only to leave it mostly blank, you're not alone. Here's why it happens, and how I accidentally designed a journal that works better for brains like mine.

I started drawing mandalas by accident. I was discovering the tools in IBISPaint and found the symmetry tool. I started doodling, and the results were... well, history was made. So it makes sense to me that I would also accidentally stumble onto other great art ideas. Mandala Mashups was just such a happy accident.

I love journals. Love them. I think I have at least 12 hardcover journals on my shelf. I love paper. And I love the idea of preserving stories and memories forever. But I'm also pretty demand avoidant. I don't like being told what to do, even by a book. And so most of the journals on my shelf remain unwritten in. My brain started working on this problem.

With its calming and soothing vibes, this serene shade evokes the peacefulness of a day spent by the water.

Parenting is one of the most wonderful and confusing things I've ever done. Through the mess, the chaos, and the unexpected, there has always been deep love.

If you are chronically ill, you may find yourself donning your fuzzy socks and headphones to hide away under a blanket. Or maybe you’re cozied up in a bean bag chair with your journal and your electrolytes nearby.

Parenting can be exhausting, chaotic, hilarious, rewarding, frustrating, joyful, tender, and deeply loving, sometimes all in the same day. Those are the themes I want to honour year-round, whether through art, coloring books, shirts, or a cheeky mug that makes another tired parent laugh.

So the scene is 4 pm on a cold wet November night, downtown in busy Vancouver. There's Santa across the street blasting carols. The busses drown out most of the music, but what can be heard is the lush downbeats and crooning vocals of Beth Gibbons.

It's 1993. I'm driving to McDonald's on my Grade 12 lunch break, in the back of my friend's friend's parents' station wagon, which she gets to borrow 2 days a week. There's no air conditioning, and no conversation. All the windows are down, the stereo is cranked, and we are all pretending to be Chris Cornell.

When I started thinking about what I wanted to create for this holiday, sappy love sayings just didn’t fit. Not because I don’t love the dads in my life, but because they all appreciate a well-timed fart joke.

I created the So Simple line after realizing that even my Delightfully Simple Hand-drawn Minute Mandalas sometimes included smaller spaces that could be difficult for some hands to color comfortably. You can pick up a free sampler to see if it works for you.

I love axolotls. They are ridiculously cute, so of course I wanted to try drawing some.

Getting a diagnosis for a rare disease is overwhelming. For me, I needed to get a handle on the overwhelm in as many ways as possible.

In today's hectic world, finding moments of peace and relaxation is a challenge. That's where adult coloring books come in. More than a pastime, coloring has emerged as a powerful tool for promoting mental well-being and reducing stress.

Today, we're exploring the question that's on everyone non-colorist's minds: why do adults color? And while there's not a one-size-fits-all answer, here are a few reasons some of us like to get lost in the pages of a coloring book.

Purple haze isn't exactly an agreed upon shade. Different brands define it differently, but it tends to be bold, yet smokey. It's one of my favorite shades to use.

Today, we're venturing deep into the heart of the forest with forest green. With its rich, verdant tones and earthy vibes, forest green captures the essence of the great outdoors. Lace up your hiking boots and let's wander through the enchanted woods together!

Last night I reset the default color palate on my software because I felt I was leaning on the same colors a lot. In search of new colors, I visited colorhunt.co for some inspiration.
