Thank you for the shout out Jane, so glad the brilliant Sendak documentary was so inspirational! I'm going to listen to it again too! : ) Another jam-packed brilliant newsletter, I remember you telling me about your Glastonbury experience, which cured me of my FOMO too! : )

Thanks for all the inspiration and Happy New Year Jane! x

I loved this Jane and don’t know how it took me so long to find your substack! And the movie is Now, Voyager - a great favourite of mine, and @ellabeech ‘s too!

I loved this Jane! The ideas box is genius!Y big goal this year is to write a brilliant story of my own that I can also illustrate! So this sounds perfect!

I love doing intuitive and playful art sessions. Did you ever catch my Mornups on IG? They were exactly as you say, playful art sessions to warm up in the morning before I start work! And now I do Art Play Dates on my Substack every month. I would love it if you wanted to join in one month. Forgive me for mentioning my own Substack here, but it seemed appropriate!

So much to inspire and motivate here, thank you! I would have loved to join your comics class, but I have a book to finish by the end of January, so I have my head down!

Good luck in all your creative endeavours this year and happy new year to you! Xxx

Happy new year, Jane! I love your festive armadillo. 2024 is a year of the dragon. Crocodiles are said to be inspired some dragon myths. Who know? It could have been armadillos! Good luck with your chapter book submission. How exciting! I'm looking for to reading all your creative endeavours this year. x
