• Feeling uninspired to draw and be creative?

    Did your parents or teachers say you were no good at drawing and that drawing was a waste of time?

    Do you want to draw in secret and need permission to do so?

    The Golden Secrets of Drawing may have the key to get you going again.

    Or join my online library and read the flip book now!

    As a children’s author and illustrator of many year’s standing, this is my first book ever for grown-ups.

    It is NOT a how to draw book.

    It has no advice about pencils or shading. It is all about your frame of mind as a creative person, clearing out all the reasons and excuses that hinder the simple act of picking up a pencil and making a mark on a piece of paper.

    I like to think of this book as a comfort blanket for creative people who need a little boost to their confidence. It also has a nice, soft feel to the cover.

    I will be making videos for all the Golden Secrets, but if you would like to have your own copy to hold and hug on during those dark nights of the soul, here are the Amazon links again:

  • I had a message from Morgan who says:

    Hi. I’m hoping you might help me return a sketchbook to someone who lost it (I assume accidentally). I’m reaching out to you because they cite “Shoo Rayner” as an inspiration for one of their sketches (a sketch is captioned: “How to Draw a Hare Shoo Rayner Drawing”; yours is one of two or three programs on drawing, sketching, and portraiture mentioned through the little book. I found it for cheap at a Goodwill Outlet, and I believe it’s likely accidentally lost because the final entry was only two weeks ago, 3 Sept. 2024. They don’t attach their name, but from some clues in the sketchbook, I believe they’re likely from the suburbs west of Allentown, Pennsylvania (USA). The book itself was found in Reading, PA. I was hoping that with your help ( we can find the) true owner. If you wouldn’t mind helping return this sketchbook to its rightful owner, I’d appreciate it. Do let me know, and thanks for reading. Morgan

    Morgan hasn’t replied so maybe she typed her email incorrectly? So If this rings any bells or you know someone in Pennsylvania USA who might have heard about a lost sketchbook please let me know in the comments and you too Morgan!

  • This is a bit of a teaser post. I have to create it to get a QR code. But I need the Code before I tell you about it and I have to maintain the title as that will be the title of this post when I finally write it up!

    Does that make any sense?
