Our Book Club pick this month is Steal Like an Artist, a small but powerful book filled with ideas about creativity, inspiration, and finding your own voice.

It’s the kind of book that makes you pause, reflect, and realize that creativity isn’t about being original all the time — it’s about learning, observing, and allowing yourself to begin, even when things feel uncertain.

We’ll be gathering on Zoom to share thoughts, insights, and creative reflections in a welcoming and supportive space. Whether you’ve read every page, just started, or are simply curious, you are truly welcome to join the conversation.

You can register through the Ink Master link in bio. The Book Club is free, and everyone with a love for creativity is invited.

A monogram isn’t just something you draw.

It’s something you build — thoughtfully, layer by layer — until it holds presence on its own.

That’s the shift this workshop explores.

Across four sessions, you’ll move through the process of shaping a monogram from its earliest idea to a resolved, refined form — understanding structure, composition, and how each decision changes the final mark.

It’s not about doing more.

It’s about seeing differently.

If you’ve been wanting to go deeper with your work, this is a space to begin.

DM MONOGRAMS to join the community — we’ll share all the details.
