My FIRST CHILDRENS BOOK that I drew the pictures for¹ is coming out on October 10th!! I am sworn to secrecy about what the book is, and I can’t wait to share it with you once it is live! Now you know why I am celebrating like a mad woman in the picture at the top! Keep an eye out over on my Instagram and here and I will post about it as soon as I can!

I will be running a (nearly) month long prompt during October. I’ll be posting details asap, just bear with me while I finish sketches I owe for the book I’m working on, and I’ll get the first post out asap! Keep your 👀 peeled!

That’s it for now. See you soon at the next event I hope!
