SF etsy (my last retail show)
This weekend I will be at the SF Etsy show in San Francisco. I’m proud to be a member of the SF Etsy family and I hope you’ll come and shop the 200 local artists and makers.
Art and craft shows taught me how to price my work, display it and cope with slow sales, no sales and sometimes (but not often, thankfully) harsh feedback. Mostly though, it gave me what I’m always searching for – family. I’m excited about this show because I’m approaching my 10th year as an independent artist and things are shifting in my career. Books are taking up more and more of my time.
I will continue book related events next year but this may be my last retail show for the foreseeable future.
I hope to see you there!

I’m embracing quick comics! I created this direct from life comic in 30 minutes and didn’t edit or change it from its original. I love the liberation in sharing work that hasn’t been redrawn.
Also I’m heading to Houston this weekend for the National Conference for Teachers of English (and honored to be part of the South Asian Book Award, eee!) AND I have my only public signing of PASHMINA at Space Montrose Saturday night. It’s my last work trip of the year! I hope to see you there!
I hope you have a lovely weekend!
