I thrifted it! The brand is Liz sport!

My partner saw me watching this vid and was like “are u watching a man build a table?” Yes I am and I love it

Its exciting that HandyMan James is allowing you to create more art. Love what you do and the vibe you have - every vlog is like a burst of summer sunshine no matter what the weather.

James looks like an extra from “moonrise kingdom” and I’m jealous about it.

very happy to be a puppy patron so you can have some well deserved time off + enjoy life!! glad you loved the kuni package!! and the kurkure hehe 🌷

It’s hard to not want to make art after watching your videos, the vibes are just too dang good haha. I picked up a Strathmore mixed media sketchbook just because of you and lemme tell ya, I’m not looking back after doing that. 😂 Hope you and your fur babies are doing well 😊

such a cute chill + fun video :') also loved the reflection about having more time to make art + DOING WHATEVER U WANT!!! love that 4 u

YESSSS! love seeing you thrive! you've created the job of your dreams by consistently being authentic! this is so inspiring! thank you love to see it!

Can confirm- I’m a bookkeeper that works with a lot of creatives/makers and it WILL make your life easier! Holler if you searchin for one!

I was very happy when I saw that a new video was uploaded. I love your humor and Jamese's, you guys are really great at the work you do. Thanks for the video, perfect for a relaxed evening. ps: jameses socks are on fire😊👍 Much love from Germany. may you have a nice day

Can see you're on another level with the art, inspired! All those originals you're creating are so gooooood! 👌👏

If Leigh is the Michael Jordan of the Art World then I am Troy Bolton tryna get her head in the game…. Thanks Leigh for being my hero, you’re so awesome you don’t even know it… 🏀❤️

2 very important things to say about this vlog 1- you look gorgeous in this checkered dress 2- I love a sexy handyman james with power tools moment

These videos are so comforting. I love just listening to drawing noises and random chatting 💗

Yay to James for giving you some time back for more art and just living 💖 love seeing how far you have come with your art journey. I’m currently on the grind doing art part time and just trying to grow, so this is truly inspiring 🥲

Hey, i love that skirt :) You are such an insperation to me! Thank you so much for taking your time and inspiring others

Leigh I love you - crazy how much calm and peace of mind your vlogs (and that cute frog) can bring !

Loving this video! Super chill and inspiring as usual! 😍 your new studio is looking sooo damn good!!

so grateful for your videos Leigh! i'm in the slow process of building my art career and your videos are such an inspiration and joy! I'm planning on uploading my first studio vlog this month after watching yours for YEARS.

I kinda loved your advice to those of us who are starting off their own business and I love voice overs! Loved this lil vlog

Love your new science table! I’m glad you have more space to create ❤️

James' socks are dope 6:35

My carpenter heart just stopped for a second as I saw the wobbling leg construction 🤍

tbh I loooove the noise of posca on paper. I also love glass scoring sounds

I cannot wait to watch when I get off work! Yay! 💕

Thank you so much for working with pela

This animation is so cute. Fab vlog, thanks for sharing! 💕

omg I love the first bird painting you showed!! I used to be a patron but I can't afford it anymore but I still love your art and seeing it in your vids

I just love your art studio, your style and of course, your artwork is amahzing! You are inspiring and oh so funny, I thoroughly enjoy your videos.✨🌺

Beautiful vlog Leigh, you are so inspiring! 🥰

💕 thanks Leigh for inspiring me to chase my dream life as an artist and make my career whatever I want it to be! I’ve got a long ways to go yet, but you prove to me that its possible. Xoxo

Yaaaaaay you have more time to art and create!!! I remember a time in your vlogs where you were not able to make that a priority due to all the things business wise that needed to be done and we’re finding it difficult to balance and thrive as a creative (art biz is a double edge sword, need to make the art to fuel the business, plus do all the business/admin things to actually run the business so you can continue to make art); it’s so awesome to see you now have that time to focus on creating 🎨 Balancing is hard and it’s so nice to see you are able to have that balance with an employee/friend like James 😃 Also, i looooove how transparent you are about all the things, your rad authenticity is so refreshing, the fact you can also laugh at yourself and just be you is happy 😊 P.S. your table might need some cross bars or a shelf like your were mentioning lol just looks a tad wobbly, would hate for it to give way if stacks of your store stuffs were on it, cause paper is like a million pounds o_O but it’s probably nice to have something higher than the make shift shelf piece - which also looked cool with the lil pop of colour/industrial element - that was temporarily in place, and awesome James was able to put it together for studio use 👍

i love louie zong! great stream! 💖

Such a cute video, I enjoyed it a lot. Thanks Leigh. I hope you are enjoying your holiday. I am so happy to be able to support you as a patron even when I am currently unemployed. 🤣 hopefully i get a job soon, I want to continue supporting you for as long as I can! Xoxo ❤️

been spotting the louie zong greenhouse music in your vids lately, it is very chefs kiss

dude i love the posca sounds on paper, gimme all the scratchiness

Thank you for helping me get through my lunch, what a great Work lunch treat.

I love the chonky bengal tiger 🐅

2:19 so cute the way he’s laying there 😍🐶

You're such a sweetheart. Thank you for being you.

Aaaaawe 🥰 I'm a gem! Yay! xoxo!

I'm less than 2 mins in and I love this nostalgic rpg vibey music situation happening here :')

I give this channel a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Don’t panic 😱 one time I said “evidently I say evidently too much”. Ahem. We all have momentary catch phrases. Cheers to that! 🥂 💯 Also, yes, loved the video. Always love them. & yes ymca is a classic (never out of style)

Just want to say that the green kurkure taste so good 🤌 Also this video is great Leigh 💙

Hmm, a little love letter Dearest Leigh, You are rad and a major inspiration. I won't tell you to never change. Instead I'll continue to watch you flourish and cheer you on.

best video ever

Delightful, chill, fun vid ;) Thoroughly enjoyed this one. 5 stars, no, 10 stars!

little love letter 💌 you make art not only with your hands but with your vocal cords too because I could listen to you speak aaall day

at 9 mins an 15 secs James is a pant less man - his final form as a handy man

My granny has that same ghost Halloween decoration! He looks very cute with his little hat!

Love your vids Leigh soooo nice you're having more time to do your beautiful artwork James did awsome table Love and ✌

Ahhh loved the skirt you were wearing while James was building the table :0

this video is so special mood . cheer up💪👍

I love you Leigh.

You made 100% sense, it wasn't ramble. In fact, I sat here nodding along with you - your transition and uncertainty makes so much sense. But it's great you have found the right thing to fill that void ❤👏 PS: I curse you both for crunching chips so much. I had to get chips for myself 🤦‍♀️

The Posca scratchy noises keep making my whole body come out in goosebumps... even my scalp 😬

Everyone needs a James in their lives

Love you and James. Your studio looks so good! You seem much more relaxed and happy which is lovely to watch. I do have a small complaint though, I haven't seen Herc in ages and Toadie is not getting enough screen time. I say that with love. I miss seeing James's dog too. I'm not a fan of lilies because of the smell, dear God it kills me, but they look beautiful. Much love and hugs to you guys xxx

Your Flowers are pretty😊

1:51 - WHOA WHOA WHOA, do you boulder (or at the very least appreciate the sport)?? So do I! I love finding other creative people who also like climbing! Dang, I would have sent you some of my climbing stickers if I’d known. I loooooove the bird on a tree artwork btw, 10/10 stars from me.

So fun to see you Kurkure for the first time! Here in India they are the most common chips

Your communication skills are exactly like mine. No talking but know what I want done! 😂 How hard is that.

i oddly like the posca pen noises!

Omg Kurkure! That's literally my favourite chips. I go to the Indian market to get that all the time!

Omg I love Kurkure! They're a favourite for most of us here haha - sending love from Mumbai :)

i really enjoy watching your videos 😍and when I'm free I watch the podcasts as well. Do you use references while painting landscapes ? And if you do, I would like to know how do you simplify it into shapes and still be able to use different colours? I am in a phase where I am enjoying painting a lot of landscapes but sometimes I have trouble being free and use an interesting colour palette, and they turn out to be pretty boring...

I use references for all of my drawings and paintings! I try to focus on the shapes and lights of the reference I’m using. Starting with big shapes and working down to small!

Your drawing is so nice

Thanks for this great and very chill video! Greetings from Germany :D

Oo thats fun, hope to see lot of sketching Session

feeling happy for you-the extra time and brain space to create is definitely showing in your work lately so…cheers to that 🧃✨🧃

I’m sorry Leigh, but I was already drinking a root beer before the video started.

Lamento no saber ingles...bueno, cada vez que veo tus videos, me imagino lo que contas por medio de lo que se ve y de los gestos jajjaja

those are cute kitty tarot cards you showed 🙂 and very cute rained on toad🙂 i hate doing taxes, its my least favourite thing about being self employed, but at least they seam a lot easier here than there

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Omg your sketch of the lilies 🤩 does your posca not peel the paper while you draw? I feel like unless I use really smooth paper, my posca markers will peel up the paper if I’m not careful
