Two! Two! Two blogs in one!

I was thinking about how this blog is for inspiring creativity, and how it would help if I shared more about how I create my cartoons and illustrations... and what it's like being a working artist.

Well, it turns out that I already do that, just in a different blog.

So, you may be wondering, why are these blogs separate?

Hmmm.

They actually shouldn't be.

So from here forward, I'm going to publish ALL of my updates in one blog, located here:

Betsy Streeter's Blog.

It will be filled with projects, ideas, artwork, doodles, cartoons, and creative fabulousness.

I'm going to leave the Drooly Dog blog here, with all the archives, until I figure out how to import them into the other blog... which appears to be kind of complicated. Technology is our friend, right? ...Right?

If you subscribe to Drooly Dog email, you'll be getting a note subscribing you to my other blog - you can click to verify your subscription, and you'll keep getting the Drooly emails. Plus, you'll get new drawings, cartoons pulled from my archives, and lots of other cool projects that happen in my travels as a teaching cartoonist.

Thanks for reading (my readers are the most excellent smarty-pants readers in the world), and I look forward to keeping you up to date all in one place!

Cool Blog: Urban Sketchers.

As a person who draws all the time, my sketchbooks are filled with random drawings made wherever I happen to be - pictures of a stage before a concert starts, or a big rock in the ocean, or a street, or a cup of coffee in a cafe, or just parts of my environment.

Over the years I've accumulated these little drawings from numerous states and countries, and I love when I come across them later. 

I really feel like I really am somewhere once I have 1) Gone for a run there and 2) Drawn it. The place, not the run.

So, I'm enjoying looking through this blog, Urban Sketchers - it's like touring around the world through people's sketches, and for me at least many of these pictures seem almost more real than a photograph. Take a look at how different people see their cities and towns and streets. It's super cool.
