Happy Diwali! I hope you and yours have a wonderful, light filled year.
I will be in Santa Cruz at Atlantis Fantasyworld signing PASHMINA this Saturday from 4-7pm. Also on Monday I will be at the Barnes and Noble in Huntington Beach for a discussion and signing with Cecil Castellucci. See details and more of my upcoming events here. I hope to see you on the road!

All inktober drawings are available for purchase, $45 each, if you’re the first to contact me. They measure 2.5×3.5 on bristol board made with a combination of brush pen, gold paint, and a dash of colerase pencils. I will update the post when they’re gone!
Tomorrow is my official Pashmina launch party at Trickster in Berkeley (which is thankfully indoors) There will be some light snacks, a short presentation and lots of fun. I hope you can make it!
Eeee! Pashmina is officially out today! You can go into your local bookstore, comics shop or library and find it (and if it’s not there, request it!). Thank you everyone for your support, love and kindness through this journey. I hope to see some of you this month on my mini book tour.
I will ask one favor – if you can write a review on Amazon, that helps me a lot!
Thank you to Lyla Warren for animating this beautiful book teaser.
I hope you have a lovely day <3
The publishing community has come together to raise money for Puerto Rico. You can bid on a signed copy of Pashmina and a 50 page graphic novel or art portfolio critique here. You can also browse and bid on offers from other authors, editors and artists. Bidding is open now and closes Thursday.
Please share and support Pub for PR.
A little sneak at some panels from PASHMINA which is less than 2 weeks away from release. Its received its second starred review in Publisher’s Weekly.
If you’re in the bay area, I hope to see you at our official launch party. If not, I hope to see you at one of the cities I am visiting on my mini tour.
Have a great week!
I can’t believe we’re 3 weeks away from Pashmina’s release date! I will be traveling around to promote its release. At each event I will speak about the process of making Pashmina and sign books.
You can find more details about each event on my website or RSVP to them on my facebook events page.
I hope to see you!
Making PASHMINA was one of the hardest things I’ve done in my career so far. To wake up to read a professional review of it in the School Library Journal (a starred one, none the less) is a feeling I cannot describe.
I am so very excited to share PASHMINA with you – we’re less than a month away from it’s release!
Thank you for your support, always.
My sleep is riddled with nightmares these days. When I wake, I shake my head because they’re rooted in reality. I look around and although I am safe, fed and loved; I question its permanence. The rise of hate makes me feel unsafe in my own skin. When I walk down the street I am wary of every person that I pass, reluctant to speak to strangers in a way that I’ve never been before. I feel worn down and so very tired. Unable to escape into my dreams, I take solace in my work.
Because I will never allow their hate and my fear to stop me. I will keep creating and sharing love. I will never stop resisting in every word, painting and act of kindness.
To paint is to resist.
Keep creating, stay committed, stay fierce!
We will get through this with love.

We’re a few weeks away from moving to a new place so we’re having a big sale! From now until Wednesday enjoy 30% off our shop! It’s a great time to buy prints, greeting cards and magnets (excludes originals, canvas and sale items).
Thanks for helping us move less stuff (there’s so much stuff!)
I’m still recovering from Comicon – it was a whirlwind of panels, parties and my 7th year in small press. I didn’t want folks who couldn’t make it to miss out, so we’re having a sitewide 25% off sale* through Sunday (our biggest of the year) with the code SDCC17.
I hope you’re having a good week.
*excludes sale, canvas and originals.
