@Chip-Valecek Hi everybody, enjoyed this prompt very much, thank you. Hope all of you are doing OK.

This is Pulse - I painted him in Procreate to try out some new Procreate brushes for oil and w/c (excellent BTW - from TipTopBrushes). I see Pulse's posts pop up on Facebook and he always signs off "for my ladyfriends" so I thought it very likely he would be giving them a wink!

@Will-Terry I'd love to write and illustrate a children's book. Will and the gang - do you think it is necessary to HAVE children to write a good quality children's book? I don't, but I was one once! I have retained - I hope - a humourous view of the world if a little cynical. Looking forward to the discussion, Jane in New Zealand

This is a great book - https://www.amazon.com/Grit-Passion-Perseverance-Angela-Duckworth. Well researched, well written and a good read.

@Braden-Hallett Love this Braden!

Adorable!

Pascal for me too - and option A. I will catch up if I have to from here in NZ. Great idea, thank you.

Hi there, well that's part of the question really. I don't have any agreement with the author yet as to how this might work - we are on good terms BTW. I have self-published before but wondered if anyone had experience of collaborative publishing in this way?

@Elena-Marengoni These are so appealing, great colours too.

@Coley Brilliant - thank you. Cheers Jane

@Coley Brilliant - thank you. Cheers Jane

Hi SVS Team, can you tell me when the Lissy Marlin interview will be available to watch on the site please? I missed the live transmission. Thanks so much everyone, Jane

Hi SVS Team, I missed the session with Lissy last week, do you know when it will be up in the Jump Into The Studio section on the site, please? Cheers all, Jane

@Katie-Kordesh Smashing! Really lovely.

Gotta admit - I do like Moo for their quality and finish. You get what you pay for. If your prospective clients are HNW women and you want to present a highly professional service then a really posh, high quality card will send a better message. ALL people like to be given something - use it as a 10% off one of your services perhaps, with a shortish life span for the offer? A high quality card is less likely to hit the bin and one with an offer on it will likely be kept.
