This Humble Newsie
Hi! My name’s Jen and over the last few months I’ve been teaching myself how to stitch together a bloggish creature called Fishbird Central.
Fishbird Central is a blog with bones made out of bookish content, Aussie accommodation reviews, features of creatures I’ve seen, and explorations into my artistic sketching journey. I’ll stop this metaphor here, as I don’t want to talk about what makes up the blog’s skin - cos that’s gross - and I’m not too sure what other magic makes it go. Probably coffee.
This week’s posts included:
‘Even More Sketchy Animals’ - Round 3 of my ‘100 Animals in 100 Days’ drawing challenge - join us on a sketchy adventure!
‘CWA Dagger Awards 2024’ - A wrap up of the longlist nominees for the Crime Writers Association awards. So many good books to add to your TBR!
I’ve decided to kick off a Fishbird Central Newsletter, in the hopes of connecting with you - dear reader - a little more closely (but not in a weird way).
You are Important
I’m hoping you’ll join me on this journey. I encourage you to comment on anything that sparks your interest, and suggest articles you think would fit well in the Fishbird Central Matrix.
Mostly I just want us to have a good time and look for the lightness in the everyday.
To make sure we’re starting things off on the right foot - here’s one of the first sketches I did while learning to draw. He is called ‘Toby Meatball’ and is supposed to be a dog. He’s a happy accident and reminds me to always look for the laughter in the learning.
Have an awesome week, friends.
