\"seattle-mag-lk1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Happy Friday! Hey, Little K’s in a magazine! The book got a nice write-up in the May issue of Seattle Magazine<\/a>, available on stands now. I loved that the fact checker asked if the islands and body of water shown in the first spread actually exist. The answer is no, and in fact, I forgot all about it until now, but I made it so that the islands form the Japanese character for “people” or “hito<\/em>“. I don’t know, I thought that would be fun. I showed you the progression from sketch to final here<\/a>. The other two books featured — Arrow to Alaska<\/a> and Elliot the Otter<\/a> — are also\u00a0Spring titles from Sasquatch<\/a>, so I’m in great company!<\/p>\n

I’ve been burning the midnight oil\u00a0behind the scenes on various book-related projects, and thanks to all the great productivity tips<\/a> I got from you, I\u00a0accomplished an enormous amount this week\u00a0and I tell you, the timer trick is the way to go. I’m prone to procrastination\u00a0and am an incorrigible over-planner so it can be a deadly combination.<\/p>\n

******************************<\/p>\n

The winner of the pullover giveaway<\/a> is Melinda, congrats!<\/p>\n

******************************<\/p>\n

Thank you so so much<\/em>
\nLove that furoku members<\/em>
\nare growing slowly*<\/em><\/p>\n

*I’ve never expected nor wanted a ginormous response, and for me, this gradual and steady pace feels just right. There are no guarantees, of course, but it’s starting to feel like I’m actually going to achieve\u00a0my end-of-the-year goal!<\/p>\n
