My cat passed away a week ago and I’ve been having a really hard time lately, watching your videos has been a huge source of comfort for me the past three years now, so this was very much needed and thank you for always being so chaotic because you effortlessly know how to make people burst out laughing (i.e. your travel bag being “boring,” and just dumping it out on a desk). Lots of love and the Toadie clips are always greatly appreciated.

Watching this made us feel like we were someplace warm and sunny! We love getting a peek inside a sketchbook, and one thing we notice is that Leigh is always aware of the edges of the page, and placement is never random. People new to art sometimes take a while to understand that, but it's so important- the sides of the page are always the first 4 lines in every drawing!

I am starting my day with three of my favourite things: drawing, coffee and art vlogs! Such a great vlog, and a treat to see apple cheeks amongst it all.

2.5 hours ago I was rushing to the emergency room after I woke up to my dog having a seizure. She’s home and doing just fine now - I’m cuddling with her on the couch at 4:30 in the morning while I watch this video and it’s helping me decompress from the chaos and terror of the evening/morning. Thank you.

I love how wholesome the art KZfaq community is. Ya’ll were so ridiculously cute to me. Loved itt ❤. It’s awesome that you all have connected IRL too- that’s pretty neat ☺️🥺

I wasn't doing anything this time! Just relaxing and watching the vlog after a long day at work. I loved the in-between quiet shots you took! They made the vlog more peaceful and thoughtful.

the colors in this vid were the prettiest ever! would rewatch a million times

Just had dinner lol thanks for keeping me company Leigh. and I love the little Toady clip at the very end it was precious.

appreciated the soothing company while i worked on some writing!

tiffany and meg crossover episode!! so cool to see them through your lens 🥲 oh and i was knitting some socks while i watched!

I just finished reading a book and before staring a new one I paused to watch this video :) It's been so long since I've watched one of your videos I've missed them, loved your trip ✨🐸🤍

My kids and I are eating breakfast watching your video. We all love you and your work!

The folds in James' shirt at 14:00 are supreme, I had to pause the video and draw it out. Love your videos as always ❤

Eating a quesadilla and drawing in a new sketchbook! Thanks as always for the lovely video Leigh :)

Was taking a little break from wok! thanks for keeping me company!

AHH those are our cats @ 15:25

Such a lovely trip! To be with a group that 1) travels well together AND 2) is in the same or similar field! The vibes are 🪐

I was just settling in for the evening and working on another original character design.

This video was such a delight, I love the mix of art and travel in this one. Your trip at the end looked breathtaking, what a gorgeous part of the world. I have been going through some photos from a museum trip I went on to do some art of! This was good company

I was working on knitting myself a beanie using some hand dyed aqua and light green yarn!

I have MEGA ART BLOCK right now, so I'm working my 9-5 and watching your video so I can get excited about going home and painting woot woot. Hi Toadie!

Watched while blowing up a ton of balloons for my daughters birthday. Loved seeing you getting out and having fun.

I'm watching with my kiddo. While I do her nails she just keeps exclaiming "Leigh just does the best work. Her hair looks so pretty. Look at her smile. I love Toadie" 🤣 it's a good time watching your vlog ☺️

thank you for entertaining me while I ate a salad!! Salads take a very long time to eat and this vid was the perfect length!

Big Bear has a live bald eagle cam! You should check it out 🥰🦅 last season, I got to watch their first egg in several years hatch, grow, and leave the nest! 😭

i literally lay in my bed to watch this blog peacefully 🙌

I was working on a print for my Patreon while i was watching

Love all your videos so much. Thank you for sharing! I was crocheting a hat while watching this.

I just finished breakfast and am filling out my bullet-journal trackers for yesterday while I drink my apple-chamomile tea 🍵

Too tired to have a proper workout at the gym, too hot outside, so I walked on the treadmill at the gym while watching your video. Perfection ✨

I love the paintings from your friend’s show! It all looked so lovely

The pen you weren't sure about is from the brand MUJI. I love their pens and pencils!

your videos are always such a joy to watch. currently have this on while i back up my files and clean out my desktop! going to therapy in an hour or so, and im super excited to get back into the swing of things :]

I was painting while watching your video! Been really stress with work lately that i don’t even have the energy to do my hobbies so i was so glad when you posted. It gave me that urge to pick up the brush again ❤

Had this video on in the background while cutting out stickers for my junk journal

Working on reorganizing my entire collage materials collection so that I have no excuse but to get back to collaging again and I'm rediscovering tons of material I forgot I had. This is super motivating to watch while finish the last stretch of organizing! I wanna organize my tools so I can make stuff again!! Thanks again for another chill, fun vlog, Leigh!

I loved watching your video and Megan's! I'm in the middle of waiting for artwork to be dropped off for a Lunar New Year show I'm curating! I really enjoyed the scribbling noises while I was editing stuff on my computer :)

i am starting to clean my room after a low and i always feel inspired to actually do work when watching your videos. thank you

the pen you have that you didn't know the name of is a Muji Pen! they have a lot of cool supplies, and while watching your video it gave me a lot of amazing inspiration which helped through some tough art block so thanks :)

I'm playing minecraft with my crafty friends today while watching this - so fun!

Such a lovely video! I was packing up in a tiny airbnb in Costa Rica! Heading home (CA) early tomorrow and it was so lovely to see a little slice of my home in this video. J Tree is one of my favorite places ever. Thanks for somehow sending me a slice of home while I miss my pups.

i loved this video sm!!

I was making art while I had your video on in the background. I felt a little bad about it because I think there was a lot of captioning so I don't know a lot of what went on. I might have to come back and watch at least the Joshua Tree parts and actually watch. It got me thinking about my own videos and for almost all of them I do a talk/montage/talk kind of thing and I wonder if people miss a lot of the visual stuff. I recently started a full time job after 4 years of focusing exclusively on art. And while it's been great because I have tons more money, it's much harder to create. I'm going to make it work though! It's so fun that you got to meet Megan and Apple Cheeks!

Always enjoy your videos

The shots in this vlog are BEAUTIFUL, are you kidding me!?

I was crocheting my mood snood while watching!

watching this while sketching some fun patterns in marker on this warm spring Saturday morning! Love your art vlogs, they inspire me!

This video is my therapy session today ❤ I’ve been going through a very bad artblock for the last months - a lot of things are changing in my life and I have barely made any art. Which used to be such an important part of my life … I think I’ll have to reconnect to my creative energy in a new way. Your videos and your art style give me hope, that that is going to happen 😊 thank you for always taking us along on your creative endeavors 💕

Taking my first lunch break at work for the 1st time in a VERY long time!

Started catching up on laundry ❤ thanks for the company

Love to see you back! Loved the video, especially how it ends with you and Toadie! ohhhh... I started watching the video yesterday, preparing dinner. And then just finneshed it now as I'm eating breackfast. Sorry if I spelled it wrong. Sorry about my english, it's a little rusty... Bye take care! Lots of love

This was perfect to watch while finishing off a little needlepoint piece. These vlogs are always relaxing.

Look ma! It's me on the big screen!

Hi Leigh! Thanks for the video! I was updating my planner on how long things have been taking me. Hoping this will help me in my art practice. So glad you had a great time on your trip!

So excited to see this video. I’ve been binge watching/listening to your podcast episodes btw very entertaining lol

What a fantastic video. I was putting posters around Dublin for a work shop in art yoga and meditation I am hosting in March. The video was really amazing. Thanks for sharing. ❤

I just got back from my own very busy vacation! So glad to see you meeting friends and having a lovely time- great background to listen to while needle felting :)

Me encanta como han mejorado tus vlogs leigh!! Llevo viéndote desde el principio, y no sabes lo que me has inspirado a creer en mi arte, a perder el miedo a hablar delante de una camara, a creer posible que del arte si se puede. Gracias, gracias, gracias saludos desde España de otra artista🫀🎨✨🦋💜

My first time actually catching the premiere live! 🥰

Good morning! I am currently working from home because it's sleeting outside and your videos are so nice to listen to while working. Thanks for the chill vibes. Looking forward to your next vlog!

I always get excited for your vlogs. 🤗 This is one of my favorite ones, love the art, friends, travel, and the sweet little toady time at the end. It’s a beautiful thing to see people doing the things they love. Thanks for sharing! (I had a little post-work granola and yogurt for this feature 😋 )

I was watching this on February 9th at 8:30 at night in my studio painting on an 8x8 canvas of a cool shot of some trees I took behind my apartment. I talked with my Mom about my sisters baby shower this weekend and painted some more. I really enjoy your storytelling and just all that you shared in this video! Thank you for all you do

I was chilling while my baby sleeps. I’ve had to take a break from art during my mat leave as I do it for both my personal self and as a career, so I’m living through you!

Watching whilst trying hard to work my way through an artistic identity crisis 😅 I’ve fallen out of love with everything I’ve been doing recently so am trying new mediums and techniques and hopefully I’ll come out the other side!

Always love your videos, Leigh. They always inspire me to make art. Hello from Fukuoka, Japan. 😊

I worked on illustrating my February cover page in my bullet journal while watching. Though I realized during your drawing sesh I was so focused on mine that I missed some of it - need to go back and rewatch 😍

The way I Awww-ed out loud when I saw who you were meeting up with 💞 I’m almost finished making a “desperation stir fry” out of everything left in my fridge!

Watching this video with my cup of oolong tea :) The for the boys part made my day lol thank you!

Always a great surprise to find a new video from you when I settle down for my KZfaq breakfast. I loved the video 🥰

Cool! Love the intro so much 😆 thanks for sharing, much love from Singapore 💕

As a patreon supporter and an employee that works for a printing company, I will say that all press employees have different eyes and tastes, just like all artists have different eyes. It's not a robot printing, but real people running the machines. There are settings on presses of course, but a ton of tweaking and adjustments. I would put out "proofs" for a sheetfed pressman, which is really just meant as a rough idea to know where colors go, and he would come in with press proofs and they'd be nothing like they were supposed to be. He'd say he did his best to match the proof and I'd have to tell him AGAIN "Those proofs aren't meant to be copied, you know that apple is red and not orange". Even stuff I had printed of my own. During the press proof I said "These pictures are supposed to look aged, like a sepia color, the proofs look like that too" and he'd say "yeah, I know" and then when I'd pick up my stuff it was strictly black and white. Grrrr. I'm sure he had already run it all before bringing in the proof.

I was packing an order and then said, nah, I wanna watch this while I eat a steaming hot bowl of ramen. And I did. It was quite nice, I tell you :) Thanks for taking us along on your adventures! Salvation Mountain and Joshua Tree on my wishlist- just so breathtaking and magical. I can't imagine how beautiful it must be in person!

I had some really stressful weeks with art school finals and family drama. today is my first day without any stress and I just had breakfast and coffee while watching your video

thank you for a lovely video for cleaning my studio to, this place is a mess and you have a great energy for making me feel comfortable and motivated !!

While watching this video I was getting ready for the day in my little Norwegian apartment. I just moved here from the US :)

Such a cute video!! love your colors in your studio, looks like a part of your art ❤

I was eating breakfast, doing my makeup/braiding my hair with some light working towards the end. And how amazing you got to see lots of snow in the mountains in Big Bear!

Loved watching this while doing the dishes :)

I watched your video in the afternoon while drawing an illustration, now i am watching it again, cause I think I missed too much of your beautiful and calming content, would also like it twice but not allowed to ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

I was helping my partner harvest from our indoor garden with a couple beers while watching this. Listening to you sketch is some therapeutic ASMR :)

I was knitting a sweater for myself and drinking some mint tea. I really loved the shots of Joshua Tree, really beautiful. And those shots from the studio at the begining of the vlog for me had a vibe of a cool documentary that's showed at some cool indie documentary film festival. So cool!

I was eating some yummy soup and cutting out some collage images from old national geo magazines, thank you for the company leigh xoxo your videos always help me get into a creative headspace so thank you!! :-)

drawing my cat zine! cutest vid ever

Worked on making some crocheted puff flowers while I think about other possible DIYs for my upcoming wedding in a year and a half. Got lots of work still left to do!

I'm printing Etsy orders while I watch this - thanks for keeping me company!

Yayyy!!! I’m SO happy you got to see Joshua Tree, it’s such a magical place!
