Happy Friday! I shared the beginning of my sea life doodles on Instagram a few days ago, and this is how I ended up filling up the sheet. Every so often, I pause and revel in the fact that this is my job - watercoloring is so fun!! These illos will get incorporated somehow into the next book, the final art of which is due in a month. I'm making slow but steady progress... So this means that I might be absent from here for long stretches again, especially since I'll be going on book tour for ... Read more
Happy Friday + Style Arc
Happy Friday, my friends! Good news: I've been sewing. Not-so-good-news: I've lost my white background wall where I used to take all my photos due to furniture re-arranging, and the outdoor light is perhaps not so complexion-enhancing.

Happy Friday + Randomness
Happy Friday, my friends! I've been quiet here, there, everywhere. Thinking a lot, reading a ton. Speaking of reading, I created the poster above for Sasquatch Books for an upcoming event.

I'm betting autumn. I haven't felt engaged online for a long time. Not because there isn't great content ... Read more
Happy Friday + Stylish Wraps Giveaway! [CLOSED]
Happy Friday, friends! Ahhhhhhh, we are soaking up the last days of summer before K starts middle school (!!). As I type this, there is a gaggle of girls in our backyard unleashing bloodcurdling screams as they hurl water balloons with frightening accuracy at each other. K has had a most excellent vacation. And I've been plugging away at various projects in between summer-y activities involving camping and cookouts and general loafing around. I may make summers all about giveaways on this ... Read more
LAUNCH DAY! Chibi Samurai Wants A Pet Giveaway!! [CLOSED]
Hooray, hooray!! What a big day! Today, August 8th, 2017, is the day Chibi Samurai Wants a Pet is officially released into the world!!! The excitement of publishing a book never wanes, though I STILL feel sheepish about promoting them. I wonder if that will ever go away? I did something new and made a stop motion video/book trailer with my trusty friend Rachel and also received an extra heaping of help from the lovely Haley and always awesome K. Keep in mind that this is my very first attempt ... Read more
