world music + calendar

This is a new illustration that will appear in my 2022 calendar! It’s back after a year hiatus! Many folks contacted me about a calendar last year but I just didn’t have it in me. It was… quite a challenging year and the calendar requires a lot of work and I only break even on it. Anyway! It’s back! You can pre-order now, the price will increase after Oct 15th. We will ship later this year (estimated sometime in November).

Also I will be speaking at the Brooklyn Book Festival virtually with the wonderful graphic novelists Molly Knox Ostertag, Shing Yin Khor and Olivia Stephens this Sunday. You can register here for free.

I hope you’re having a lovely day!

Fall in love

I love fall. It’s my favorite season! Although it’s been in the 90s this week, I am ready with my cozy coats and soup recipes! I’m waiting for fall to know that it’s fall.

I hope you’re enjoying whatever season you’re in!

I’m regularly battling the exhaustion of work, life and the absence of normalcy. But as time marches forward I find small joys in nature and continue connecting through my work. I am participating in a free virtual author panel with Tandem Bay Area in a couple weeks. Please join if you’re interested!

Also, my debut written and illustrated book, WHAT WILL MY STORY BE, will now release on November 30th due to supply chain disruptions. Please pre-order it as well as other books because it seems these delays will continue through the holiday season.

I hope you’re finding small joys in your days.

Mama mermaid

My daughter has all kinds of awesome nicknames for her papa and I had none… so I asked her to give me one. She came up with Mama Mermaid and I thought about that as I was drawing this.

I hope you’re all safe and well.
