I’ve seem to be fascinated with red and animals this week.

Here are some Eastern Blue Birds (with red bellies) 😉

I decided to add a second panel to yesterday’s sketch to make it a short comic 🐶 👑 🤎

Hurray! Judy Blume approved new covers for AS LONG AS WE'RE TOGETHER and HERE'S TO YOU, RACHEL ROBINSON (Atheneum/S&S 2027). 🩷 Can't share covers yet so will share other revamped covers I illustrated.

Huge thx to S&S art director Lauren Rille for her genius design!

Goodbye and good riddance to my least favorite month of the year. (Though at least in my very, very fortunate neck of the woods, it did not involve any snow.)
Goodbye and goodnight 💤🌙😴

With all this winter weather I’ve been dreaming about traveling somewhere warmer.

I drew a sketch to reflect that 🐶 👑

아이들을 만나면 추운 겨울도 봄이 된다.
Whenever I’m with children, winter itself blossoms into spring.

I’m trying to embrace the daily, grounding practice of drawing. And thinking of it as a privilege, rather than a chore.

Plus I get to make cute things 🤭

I’ve hit that point in winter where all I do is dream about spring.

Went to my local library this morning to do a bit of research for my current book project and my goodness such a life-affirming space! There was an adult being taught to read on the next table, children enjoying story time, countless people taking out books. So grateful for our libraries ❤️

What do you do when you break a drawing streak?

I’ve been working on shrugging it off and returning to drawing again.
