Dear reader,
Last week I invited you to write tiny stories for my tiny people. And, wow. I mean, check out this comment thread.
Tiny stories are my favourite thing to do with tiny people. They are a way to give them new life. To take a simple thing of lines and shapes, of scratches of ink, and turn it into a slice of beautiful, complex, vivid, colourful life. Thank you for being part of this magic.
Find below my favourite tiny stories from the week, and the art I am sending as a prize.
The SneakyArt Post is a newsletter of secretly drawn art of the world. If you like having it in your inbox, share it with someone else who might like it too?

🐝 Wild Wonder Conference 2025
I am delighted to once again be a part of the Wild Wonder Conference. Last year, I attended several talks and was blown away by the depth and breadth of subjects covered. If you are interested in nature journaling, this is honestly the best investment for your curiosity.
Join me along with 25+ other teachers, journalers, artists, authors, and thought leaders in nature, nature journaling, visual thinking, and conservation at the 7th annual Wild Wonder Nature Journaling Conference, which will be held online September 10-14, 2025. This annual international nature journaling event—the largest of its kind–gathers people who are passionate about nature, art, science, curiosity, and wonder to share ideas, learn from each other, inspire each other, and have fun together in nature’s beauty.
The Wild Wonder Live Pass includes 30 classes and talks for just $165—that's less than $6 each—a bargain! Learn more and sign up at wildwonder.org/25, plus check out the full list of teachers with bios and the detailed class schedule! Video Passes are on sale now, and partial scholarships are available (apply on the website).
Bonus: All passes include access to the event recordings for 6+ months!
