Studio Journal - July 6th, 2026

From the Easel

Today was not a lot of art making today. Just some minor sketching. We primarily focused on the admin work. Our live portraits that were made from yesterday's stream were shipped today to their loving homes. We received a lot of positive feedback.

We also just started our very own TikTok account. So we will be managing that steadily with a similar cadence to our studio journal here.

Behind the Brush

While I was looking forward to hosting TikTok lives, I did learn I needed 1,000 followers before we can do that. So please, find Chloe.Anah and follow! In the meantime, we will continue with Facebook Lives and I will keep you up to date on when we can transition.

Events

Our scheduled events:

On July 25th I will be at the Richland Art Fair where I will be selling some prints, originals, and of course doing some live painting. This will be of course my first art fair, and I am very excited to see how this pans out for the brand.

On August 3rd we will be shipping out our next round of print club prints. We plan on honing in to a theme of our hidden world just for our subscribers.

We are on the look out for art fairs in the southwest Michigan area, and will let you know as more comes around.

Clarkwork Corner

We were discussing that once we have a viable beta for Blood on the Ice that we should have the beta free for users to provide feedback. A big goal of ours is to have both players who know and love the hockey sport and those who do not can both enjoy our brutal game. Coming down the pipeline for BOTI we will be getting the player's framework complete and then we will be turning our attention to the UI and title screens.

Studio Snapshot

🎨 Currently on the Easel: We will be working on spreading our current content as well as making all new.

☕ Fueling the Studio:  Some lovely homemade lattes

🎵 Currently Listening To: Some soft ambient music.

😊 Studio Mood: Eager to be gaining traction on this little adventure.

🎯 Tomorrow's Goal: I'd like to complete a painting as I didn't really draw much today.

💭 Parting Thought: The easel remembers every hour you spend with it, even when the world doesn't notice yet.

Thanks for stopping by the studio today. Whether you're here for the paintings, the games, or simply because you enjoy following creative journeys, I'm glad you spent a few minutes with me. I'll see you back here tomorrow.
