I have a NEW LOGO!! I’m keeping the general theme because it still feels like “me”. I’ve changed my business to “Studio” instead of “Illustration” because it’s shorter and I do more than just illustration! I was also encouraged to change my giraffe to a fox, which is my favorite animal.

Happy Pub Day to JUST KEEP GOING! This book is a reminder to myself that this is really all I can do at times. This career I’ve chosen is hard, with lots of ups and downs, and the only way through is to keep my head high, take one step at a time, breath, envision what I want, and Just. Keep. Going.

Mock Cover Reveal!! For a collaboration with @cassi.mccreight who saw an old mock cover I made and was so inspired that she wrote a story to go with it! So, of course, I needed to give it a properly updated cover with the characters and a little more magic. This one is also going out on submission!

! I just want to take this opportunity to remind ADs and Editors that it’s not always possible to put out new work all the time when we are working on book projects that can’t be shared for months or years to come. But here’s a piece I love, and I hope you love it too!

The year is winding down & it’s time to reflect. This was a busier year than I realized! I had 3 books release & worked on 2 that will be out next year. But the best part was working on several collaborations with authors in my Agency! This work somehow feels much more proactive and focused! Cheers!

Hi, this is Moonbow. You probably already know her sister, Rainbow, from “Oh, what a beautiful rainbow”. Not many of you probably know that she exists, though. This moody bow is going out on submission! Thanks to Cassi McCreight and

Another image from You Will Always Belong. A communal moment of working together to create homes for suburban bird life. Giving birds a sense of belonging all while you connect with your own community and strengthen your own sense of belonging with the people around you. It’s a win-win!
