Wordless News is taking a break for the next two days for CREATEATHON!
I'll be working with a great team of people to create materials for non-profit organizations for the next 24 hours. If you want to follow along — all night long — you can see what we're doing using the #createathon. Please enjoy a full eight hours of sleep for me!
Wordless News will return Monday, October 26th.

Friends,
Due to the devastating flood disaster in my hometown (Columbia, South Carolina) I am pausing Wordless News until Monday. Instead of drawing the news this week I will be volunteering and helping out in the community. Wordless News will return on 10.12. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

I hope everyone is having a lovely Thursday! I am preparing to hop on a plane and fly to D.C. to speak at the NAEA virtual conference this weekend. I have a rehearsal tomorrow, filming and live presentation on Saturday and a workshop with teachers on Sunday. I'm super excited to be spending time with great artists and teachers in such a fantastic place! Since I've got a full weekend ahead and I am pausing Wordless News. The news will return on Tuesday, September 29th.
Cheers,
Maria
It's Friday! yay!
So, I took a break from Wordless News this morning to prepare for some events I have coming up in the next few weeks. Instead of drawing, I spent several hours scribbling down words and talking to myself in the mirror. Hopefully, this exercise in public speaking will pay off. If you'd like to attend either of the conferences in the coming weeks you'll find all the details below. Wordless News will happily return bright and early on Monday morning!
Have a wonderful weekend!

Instead of my normal routine of coffee and news consumption yesterday, I hopped on a plane and am now on vacation until Wednesday, July 15th! I am so thankful to have a short break from work to relax and recharge, but I do I wish I had the chance to create an image for the removal of the Confederate flag. The past few weeks have been emotional and progressive for my hometown of Columbia and for my state. I feel I need to acknowledge my disappointment in not being able to create something for today - it isn't out of apathy, it is simply the timing of the event.
I am thankful, as always, for each of you who follows along and I look forward to getting back to creating Wordless News next week.
Cheers,
Maria
