Make Art Not War 2017 Challenge Participant Badge

Hello! How are you doing today? Since my last couple of posts have been pretty deep, focusing on a month-end recap, announcement of a new theme, and last week’s check-in, I thought I’d switch gears and let you know I am putting together an eBook for my Make Art Not War 2017 Challenge. I would love to get a couple of beta readers prior to release, so if you’re interested let me know via my contact page or in the comments below.

I wanted to give you a sneak preview of the cover today!
