I can’t believe it’s the end of October! This marks the end of inktober – my first year completing all 31 days! It was such a wonderful break from digital work and thank you for following along with me and your sweet messages! I’ll be taking a few days off and back later this week with my usual full color illustrations ^_^

And I hope you & yours have a safe and happy Halloween!

independence day

Today is India’s independence day! This illustration is from 2011 (hard to believe!) which is around the same time that I was pitching Pashmina. Today I am finishing up the final step (copyediting) before sending over the entire book to my publisher – there will be minor changes along the way, but for all intents and purposes – I’m done!

And now I’ll start creating new illustrations – I have years of lovely moments that I can’t wait to draw ^_^

Happy, happy Monday!

I will be in Los Angeles this weekend for Wondercon with my friend and talented jewelry maker Faheema of Unicorn Crafts.

A week later I will return to Seattle for the fourth year exhibiting atEmerald City Comiconwith my friend and talented sculptor, Lyla of Little Brigade.I love Seattle and even though it’s very touristy, I love Pike’s market.
