It's hard to believe. We just celebrated our 4 year anniversary at the inn and we've been really ramping up events only to be blindsided by our tenancy being ended.
We really wish we could afford the whole building, it's actually very affordable. But... not for us. We just don't have the funds at this time.

While we definitely want to open up the collective, make a bigger coalition to uplift everyone through mutual effort, we also want to do it right, and we just didn't have the time before this all happened to have a bunch of people adding to the pot. It's something we're still working toward. We're not going to give up.
We know, because we've talked to so many of you, how many amazing creatives there are out here. We've seen your work, your original characters, your paintings, tattoos, drawings, comics, novels, sculptures, and costumes. We still want to make that space for all of you. And we will keep trying.

Currently, what's happened as detailed in the graphics below, is the building we're in, which has been empty save for us for a little over a year if memory serves, has fallen into such disrepair it must be repaired. Which means, they need us out to do so safely and with efficacy. But, we are not welcome to return to our unit as the inn's owner is no longer interested in leasing out the units individually as it isn't as profitable. We'd need to lease the whole building. About $2000 a month and a new contract and deposit. And we just don't have it.

We'll be breaking down our garden (the biggest tragedy in all this) and our little library.
We'll do one last hurrah in our last month (September) as we break things down, with sales and giveaways before we say goodbye to the unit we put so much time and love into.

We have a brand new gallery show opening in just 5 days at the Victor Valley Museum in Apple Valley!
We're so excited to have put this together with the curators as the museum and best of all, while our work is there, the museum will be hosting programming led by us here at Scribbles.

August 15th - Opening Day
Shape Language in Art and Design
Sit down with Kamren and learn how shapes speak! And then get crafting, making creatures and characters from your imagination that evoke feeling and personality without saying a word.

September 26th - During Beasts & Bones Vertebrate Fest
Nature Journaling Workshop
Join Bri, a certified California Naturalist, in a casual workshop that encourages creative thinking and exploration of the natural world. Start inside to go over the principles and then go outside to apply them!

November 21st - Closing Day
En Plein Air Demonstration
For the last day, come and enjoy the fall weather with Jacob as he demonstrates his approach to plein air painting. You're welcome to bring supplies and draw/paint along, or just come to watch, ask questions, and learn.

5 years ago, our own Carissa Williams started her Disappear Series. A project based on extinct and endangered animals. After recovering from chemotherapy she's back at it with her anniversary campaign.
You can join the campaign at this link.

And we're so excited!
We'll have a bunch of prints as well as the usual fair, including some original pieces with us.

We're hosting 3 panels as well. So be sure to check in and see if you're interested in any of them!
Here they are:

Scribbles Meet & Greet 3:30 pm – 5:30 pm
All ages, friendly get together to draw, talk, ask questions, and generally hang out.

How to make it sexy 9:00 pm – 10:00 pm
18+ as Kam and Bri discuss the history of erotic art, and how to endeavor to make erotic art yourself. Including an art demonstration by Kamren.

You need to build a collective (yes, you) 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm
All ages welcome here! We're going to talk about what we did and why we want you to do something similar.

This spring, Kamren and Bri moved to Big Bear, and as they've been finding their feet in their new normal, they're looking to participate in the art community that exists there, including Scribbles

In the Spring we did a follow up interview with Voyage LA
A little bit of a somber take with 2024 being a difficult year, but with the ho[e and motivation to continue our journey and eking out an existence in the High Desert's Victor Valley.
Give it a read here!

This was however published after a big change to out little studio space.
Jacob has decided to leave the collective, though he still remains our supporter and you will still find him at some of the paint nights as an instructor.
We wish him the best on his artistic and professional journey, wherever it takes him!

Two of us at Scribbles are featured in this exhibit in Apple Valley, Ca.

We're always proud of each other here and do our best to raise each other up! And that goes for our other local artists as well! If you're local to the High Desert or the surrounding communities, we hope you visit our little museum and gallery to see the sampling of work from local artists.

Bri has 2 pieces, Kamren has 1.

Well we hope so.
