I GOT MY FIRST BOOK REVIEW!!!
A whole HALF STAR from my son Brendan (who is SO tired of hearing about my book) 😅
The book isn't even out yet (it comes out in November) and it's my first ever book and I'm really nervous and he's just sick of hearing me be nervous about it)

POSTERS ARE HERE (And Bookmarks)!
Tumblr media
You (a lot of you) asked for posters of the couple with the hair and I've also wanted to make bookmarks of the gouche lesbians too.
Tumblr media
So, we have both (limited to just 500) up in our store.We ship worldwide and I'm signing every poster (I'm not signing the bookmarks)

Oh, and there's a short about the making of it if anyone is interested.

I spoke in front of 100 people and didn't have a panic attack!
Tumblr media
I spoke in front of 100 people and didn't have a panic attack!
This may not seem like a big deal to most of you. But, to me, it's huge. My entire life, I've been crippled by panic attacks in social situations. Over 50 years of being afraid to go to weddings or funerals or comic conventions.
But, 3 years ago, I was diagnosed as Autistic.
For 3 years, I've been learning about my disability and going through therapy, and taking steps to advocate for myself.
My panic attacks, it seems, we're triggered by overstimulation. My brain couldn't process all of the noises and smells and feelings and sights. It was too overwhelming, and my body/mind would shut down.
You can see I'm wearing noise canceling headphones. I bring them with me everywhere. It seems silly that this is all it took to stop the panic attacks. But... it works.
I got up and introduced myself, showed a couple videos, and read a whole chapter of my upcoming book (Becoming an Artist... coming out in November) with NO PANIC ATTACK!
I just thought I'd throw this little victory out into the world because we could all use a little victory from time to time.

WE HAVE A COVER!
Tumblr media
This is the final cover for my upcoming book "Becoming an Artist" and I'm SO excited to share it with my friends (all of you)!
The book is ready for pre-order and I MUST get as many pre-orders as possible as it really helps the publisher know how many books to print.
If you like books or you like art or ESPECIALLY if you like both... here's the link and you can order from everywhere books are sold.
https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/790575/becoming-an-artist-by-scott-christian-sava/9781401996932/
I don't ask for much, but I'd really like to see this book do well. So, I am asking, if you are able, please pre-order the book and share it with others.
Over the next couple of months, I'll be posting stories from the book and my amazing time I got to spend in New York City sketching (for the book. There's a bunch of original watercolor sketches I did in NYC just for this book) here on the channel.

I had an idea for a page in my book where I could draw some big flowing hair on a character when I sign it. Rather than a crudely drawn doodle, I'd finish off this piece with some art nouveau hair.
What do you think?
(I'm still waiting to hear what my editor thinks too)

Some 1 hour studies from y "60 Days of Studying the Masters" series on my Youtube Channel.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I learned so much just taking an hour each day to learn about (and copy) a different master artist.

I hope everyone gets a chance to do this at least once in their lifetime.

Some more mini album covers!
I've been making tiny little (3x3 inch) album cover paintings to give away at my local art store.
I give myself a 25 minute time limit and I try to do 3 every week to drop off to the pin board we have at the art store.
It's been so fun recreating my favorite album covers (and some others have suggested).
Watercolors and inks on 3x3 inch watercolor paper.
I hope to continue to do more each week (and I post videos about them on my Youtube channel)
