Seven years ago I made this drawing for my mother-in-law. She loves Peanuts and Snoopy.
So I’m extra excited that tomorrow I will be featured at the Schulz Museum in Santa Rosa. If you’re in the area, please come by. I will be signing books and talking about my comics process.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
From now until May 10th enjoy 15% off my shop during the Mother’s Day sale.
I will also be signing books as part of Free Comic Book Day at Isotope Comics in San Francisco this Saturday.
Meanwhile I’m close to complete on the final art for my upcoming picture book, written by Bea Birdsong, I WILL BE FIERCE. After which I will roll right into finishing artwork for my first bilingual board book, Shubh Raatri Dost! Sometime after that I hope to create some new illustrations to share here.
Until then, I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
I was invited to contribute to the Mary Sue for International women’s day. I created a short comic about one of my favorite authors, Arundhati Roy. Read it and my interview here.
I hope you have a lovely week!
Another commission that I love – it’s all I have time for between my book projects and preparing for Emerald City Comicon. I will be exhibiting at booth 409 with the supremely talented Lyla Warren who will have a slew of seedlings for sale.
I will also speak on a few panels about Pashmina. I hope to see you in Seattle.
Stay strong & hopeful.

Last night I participated in a panel at the San Francisco Public Library and had the opportunity to see the First Second books exhibit. Similar to when I held Pashmina in my hands for the first time, the feeling of seeing my work displayed in this way left me without words.
The exhibit will remain up until March 4th.
This Sunday I will be at the Cartoon Art Museum to see another display of Pashmina artwork in their new space. I will be on hand to sign copies of Pashmina from 2-4pm and after Nick Park, creator of Wallace & Grommit will be discussing their new project (ticketed event).
It should be a great day and I hope to see you there!
Thanks, as always, for your support.
I’m thrilled to share that you can now order signed copies of Pashmina from a wonderful local bookshop, Bel and Bunna here. Each book is signed and comes with a limited edition postcard! If you’re around Lafayette, you can get one in person and if not, no worries, she will ship it to you!
I met Bel at the Northern California Booksellers meeting back in November. She handed me her card and I noticed that her shop was only 20 minutes from where we live now in the East Bay. Then she mentioned they had a weekend story time. We went to a couple, our daughter played with legos and coloring sheets while listening to Bel read. We loved the welcoming and comfortable environment she created in her shop.
Recently, I received a few requests for signed copies of PASHMINA. I wanted to partner with a bookshop to meet these requests so I called her to see if she would be open to working to meet those requests. She was! Within one day she had books online and arrangements made with the local pack and ship.
I love being part of this industry for all the amazing people I’ve meet like Bel who are committed to supporting authors and stories.
The same association, NCIBA, that allowed me to meet Bel announced that PASHMINA is the middle grade book of the year!
I hope you have a wonderful week! ^_^
My first custom illustration of the year and I was so happy with how it turned out!
I will be speaking and signing copies of PASHMINA at Books Inc (Laurel Village) in San Francisco this Sunday. I hope to see you there!
Also, my comic Eggs was reprinted today in Mutha Magazine (appeared originally in the Nib).
I hope you have a lovely weekend!
I feel very happy that PASHMINA was included in a list of wonderful books to build strong girls and boys in the Washington Post today.
I’m also very happy to be home (not traveling for a couple months) and working on my next book and some to be announced projects.
I hope you have a good week!
I’m thrilled to share the news that PASHMINA has been picked up by Harper Collins India for local release in 2018! This means that it will be published and distributed IN INDIA! I’m so happy – more information and release date forthcoming!
