Did you know you can buy wonderful Tam Products? 😊

Dear Creative Friend,

I hope you are doing well in your corner of the world! I’m currently working on some super exciting new projects. I can’t wait until I can share all the new things I’m working on with you. 😍

In the mean time, I wanted to remind you that I work with some wonderful companies who produce products with my art on them!

Art Stacks is the latest company I’m working with who have produced some really cool collage paper stacks with my art on them that you can use in your art journal. Read below for more info!

I hope you take a look and maybe find something you love.

Have a great rest of your week!
Much love,
Tam ❤️🌟💕

These paper-crafting supplies feature some of my favourite animals and portraits! My hand-drawn images and words printed on tissue and mixed media paper allow endless opportunities for creativity in your projects!

I love the guys over at iCanvas who produce high quality art prints of my work on canvas (or fine prints on high quality on paper)! Ready to hang! They have side choices of frames and sizes to choose from too! 😊 You can find my canvases here and they are currently on sale!

In the middle of editing this troll lesson for next week and I was just hit by a wave of calm just gazing upon this super cute little face.

And many of you will know that over the years I`ve made many a innocent little creature and I`ve talked before how creating innocent, sweet characters have a direct calming effect on my nervous system. I don`t mean it metaphorically but biologically. My shoulders drop. My breathing slows. I feel a calm settling in.

Apparently; there’s science behind this: soft, friendly faces trigger oxytocin and parasympathetic responses linked to safety and bonding, while stress hormones drop. ✨🙌✨

But there’s something else too.

These characters don’t want anything. They’re not impressive, persuasive, ironic, or self-serving. They feel like little support characters whose only message is: "I’m here, with you, just sitting, being present for/ with you." ♥️

I think innocence signals something rare in adult life; presence without extraction, without needing something from you. And my body seems to trust that instantly.

I keep making characters like this because they *regulate* me as much as anyone else.

Leaving this here as a quiet reminder that gentleness has a real nervous-system impact.
