I was recently interviewed for The Krakens, a website that features LDS artists. I feel so flattered! Despite what the above image says, I was actually a featured artist yesterday... oops. Anyway, their website is pretty awesome and I really enjoyed talking about who I am and my work as a noob -- I mean, artist. I also found a handful of new (and intimidatingly talented) artists to follow. Check it out!

In other news, "Book" is back in stock on both Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble! Hooray! I know I've already posted about it on Facebook and Instagram, but here's another reminder.
Look at those stars! So kind!
Seriously, I cannot fully express how grateful I am to all of you for supporting me and for being so enthusiastic about the whole project. It's largely thanks to all of you that I can continue to be an illustrator. I'm not great at much else (i.e., I'm really bad at being an adult and still have no idea what the words escrow or mortgage mean) so this means the world to me. I'm plotting ways to say thank you with something tangible. I'm thinking of designing a Christmas card to send out to anyone who wants one. Like maybe one with monsters or mermaids or witches... Christmas-y mer-witches? Yay? Nay?
Speaking of Christmas, I've been working on a Christmas-themed coloring book for adults (we like to color too sometimes!) as well as various other holiday (or not so holiday) commissions. I also may or may not be working on a webcomic of sorts. Yup. I'm putting it out there. I'm hoping to release the first page within the next month or two. Here's a teaser... ish
Revel in the bad lighting and horrid exposure of this hastily taken photo with me!
Make of that what you will. Stay tuned, friends!
