flirty + wondercon
i am heading to southern california this weekend for wondercon, if you’re in the anaheim area please come by, my table is D-18. if you’re planning on stopping by and have print requests let me know, team everyday love will be printing tomorrow! this will be my last show for a long while – as i won’t be at san diego comicon this year. after a very busy season of work and work travel, i am happy that after this i will be still for a bit so i can focus on my books – which are more excruciating than i care to admit.
have a lovely week!
book news!
i am thrilled to announce that i will be working on a children’s book with author hugh howey. over the next few months i will be creating 32 illustrations for his lovely book about a cloud named misty.
it’s been nearly 4 years since i started working as an artist full-time, and for the first time i feel truly legit. i’m working on two books – pashmina, my graphic novel, and now this project with hugh. it feels like all the late nights, conventions and craft shows have brought me here and i feel happy.
in order to manage my book deadlines, i will be pulling back from my regular illustration posts – i will try to post one image a week, but can’t make any promises!
i hope you have a lovely week!
emerald city comicon bound
we will be driving up to seattle on thursday for one of my favorite conventions of the year – emerald city comicon. you can find team everyday love near the front (eee!) at booth 607.
i created a few original mini wood burnings especially for the show and of course, we’ll have new prints!
i’ll also have my new laser cut necklaces, and for anyone who purchases over $30 of merch will receive a limited edition reusable bag (while supplies last) – great to carry your con loot in! ^_^
hope to see you there! if you can’t make it and want to follow our adventures, i always post to my instagram account while on the road ^_^
have a wonderful week!
seattle rain
we are headed to seattle at the end of this month for emerald city comicon (booth #607) and i’m getting excited. one of my favorite things is seeing the skyline as we drive in. ^_^

i’m excited to share that you can now find everyday love prints & cards at space montrose in houston, tx and loakal in oakland, ca. also, therapy on valencia in san francisco carries our cards.

i’m happy to release my new necklaces in time for valentine’s day (limited quantity available).
this is a very new venture for me and i hope you like it!
in addition i wanted to share that my artwork is on the set of modern family, in the new baby’s room ^_^ also, if you’re on instagram or facebook i’ve been posting sketches and watercolors there.
lastly, i will be speaking at stanford’s listen to the silence conference this saturday. they are currently full, but you can always register for the wait list.
hope you have a happy monday!
pashmina (big news! ^_^)
I am super excited to share that I have signed with First Second (Macmillan) for my debut graphic novel, Pashmina.
This is the big project that made me pull back from daily drawings and I am happy to finally be able to share the news! I’ve been writing (and re-writing, mostly) the book for about a year and will be working on the drawings for the next two years. Thus far it has been one of the hardest things I’ve done in my career and I’m nowhere near finished! The above drawing is one that I used in my initial pitch to publishers. It isn’t final art and won’t appear in the book but I believe it captures my feelings and the essence of the story.
That’s all I can share for now. Have a happy Monday! ^_^
