Buenos Dias !

This past week has not been as productive as usual, I've had to readjust my perceptive and remember to treat art as art and not work, to stop myself going completely crazy...

"You're only unproductive by the standards of the world we lived in two months ago. And that world doesn't exist anymore"

So take it easy on yourselves, don't put too much pressure on, do what you need to and that should be enough (: stay healthy friends!

If you still haven't downloaded the previous pages you can HERE or you can purchase the entire books HERE - MY ETSY (: I hope you're all doing fabulously and I cant wait to see your creations!

So what's new from JoSuppose?

• I have challenged myself to a 100 day project whereby I'm illustrating a different bug every day for 100 days! I've done 12 so far, here are some of my favourites! these designs will be released as prints, stickers and home decor/ apparel items very soon so watch this space! I'll be posting them on my Instagram and Facebook as I go along but I will also put the best ones here each week (:

Here's the Common Buckeye butterfly, The Three Banded Lady Bug and the Ebony Jewelwing Damselfly

• Three new Original JoSuppose paper pieces available as prints (: (to purchase, just reply to this email)

Seeing as this was such a hit last week, here's more advice from

Strawberry!

Strawberry has 3 Ideas that she'd like to share with you

• It's OK to go slow. take your time with what you're doing. Especially now, when the world is going crazy around us. Take your time - do what you love to do and do it carefully, at the pace that will give the best results for you. There is no rush and the only pressure is from yourself. So be kind and understand the importance of s l o w

• Change your perspective often. Sometimes we get used to the way our world looks and feels. we get used to our understanding because its safe. But when we get too comfortable it can be difficult to have a new outlook when you need one. so remember to change your perspective if you're struggling with an idea, you never know what you'll discover from on top of the metaphorical bookshelf!

• Trust your process. if your world is in a bit of chaos right now, trust that you will come out of this with new understanding and new experience. don't rush your process, take it as it comes. if one day you need to sleep all day and the next day you need to run around the house at full speed for hours... that's OK. do what you need to do to get yourself where you need to be. And take the chaos as a lesson (:
