hello-magpie

Hey friends! I know it's been awhile - figured I should update my journal & let you know about some new(ish) art-related adventures. Like a lot of other folks, I've mostly migrated over to Tumblr for more frequent art posting - I'll still post finished pieces up on my DA gallery when I remember, but if you like what I do and you want to see a little more (like sketches and other extra bits) you're welcome to follow me over there - http://magpiestudio.tumblr.com ! I've also opened up a Redbubble shop at http://www.redbubble.com/people/hellomagpie where you can find some of my newer illustration work on cool things like stickers, t-shirts

So I haven't written a journal entry since Filbert got my first DD, and haven't been very active on DA much either, but now I need to say a big thank you again to !STelari (https://www.deviantart.com/stelari) for suggesting The May Queen, and much love and thanks to everyone who commented and added it to favorites and groups! It's an old piece but one I'm still fond of, and I'm honored that it struck a chord with so many other people. :heart: To new followers and old friends, a quick update on where I am in art & life: I'm not making much of my own work at the moment because I'm super busy being a first-year full-time art teacher! It's a crazy, all-consuming job, but
