The original version of this was posted on my FAisDM (felicitousArtisan is Darth Mongoose) Tumblr many years ago. I drew it at about 11pm right before going to bed, trying to express something I felt about art. When I woke up it kinda blew up.

Flowchart drawn by Kate Holden in orange, aliases lines reads:
HOW TO BE ANARTIST.
Make some art.-> Does it look terrible? 1. YEAH 2. NO (both lives lead to thesame conclusion box) -> You are an artist -> Make more art

Starting this November, I'll have 4 books coming out with Boldwood Books! 'A Healer's Guide to Adventuring' is a book I'm incredibly proud of. It's a fantasy adventure story with kindness and growth at its centre - therapy meets D&D. Much thanks to my super agent Laura Bennett :)
