Doctor Vernon, The Tapestry Tales Book One: Frayed Dreams
This book will be available in print and eBook September of 2025. Ronald Frank has done it all and failed. When he inherits an apple orchard, will he be successful? He has a horrible history with apples. This can't turn out good. Or can it?
I'm currently working on my sixth huge pencil and ink drawing. I have taken video of the entire process, and plan to piece them all together when the picture is complete.
The Jelly Monster was written by C.S. Gieck and illustrated by me! It's print ready, pending approval. Look for it this fall! Contact me for more information.
I've been trail running in Colorado Springs for more than a dozen years. And I have lots of stories to share!
I love writing about my training adventures. Last year, I trained for the 24 Hours of Palmer Lake Endurance run. I kept going from 8:00 AM to 3:00 AM this time. Check out my blog and be sure to subscribe!
In 2023, I embarked on a crazy journey bicycling across Iowa with my husband and two of his coworkers. I wrote all about the experience and would love to share the story with you!
I have a passion for creating massive pencil and ink drawings, and I film the entire process, uploading the videos on this website and on YouTube @merida-creates. In addition to my artwork, I write and illustrate children's books, including my contributions to The Tapestry Tales novel series and the book Frayed Dreams. Be sure to check out my blog where I share my experiences participating in endurance events.
Special edition video! Before I release Part 20, I wanted to take a look what happened in the first 10 videos. I condensed the first 10 hours of drawing into about 2.5 minutes. There are lots more videos to come. When I finish this picture, I will upload a compilation of the entire drawing process from the blank sheet of 3x4 foot paper to the final work of art. I hope you enjoy taking this journey with me! - Merida
