Wow! In a blink, winter will be here so soon! ❄️ I started this as a simple sketch for a future illustration, but little Sasha had other plans and insisted on being drawn in full color! ✨️

What a day! Edna's day was far from perfect. Her broom decided to quit, and her mischievous crows caused some trouble on their way home. 😅 The best part about illustrating this spot? Definitely those cute little crows! They were so much fun to draw. 🖤

Mixing the best of both worlds! 🎨 This cozy kitty sketch started with a fun watercolor base and was finished digitally. Love the contrast between the traditional feel and the digital details!

Cold weather is officially here! 🥶

Sunday of traditional art! It's not perfect, but it was fun to make something different from my comfort zone. The initial fear? Wasting materials and, of course, a blank page.😅 But once I started, I realized, "Why the stress?" You just tackle it one hen at time — I mean, one step at a time.

Just finished this one!💖 I always try to push past my comfort zone, and I channeled the raw energy of these kids into trying new techniques. Never stop learning! Happy Autumn. 🍁

​Final milestone achieved! 🎉 I finished my proof review for Manny Matches the Weather this week. The book looks absolutely gorgeous! It's been a blast working on this project all year. Can't wait for the launch in Summer next year! 📚✨💖

I feel like bread dough—I have to sit here for 30 minutes before they can do the blood work.🫠

​Time to level up my children's book writing skills! ✍️ Just bought some really interesting books, and they'll be here soon. Sucks that in Mexico, I often have to rely on Amazon to find specific titles. 🫠

Popping into #portfolioday on behalf of art directors to say thank you for sharing your work. It makes our job easier. We appreciate you.
💙❤️

Also, FWIW, I made a starter pack of hiring art-, creative-, design-directors who actively use Bluesky.
