Every now and then I’ll do a quick study painting which I max out at an hour. Gets my creative juices flowing and brushes up my color, composition, lighting and speed skills. I found this image on IG and fell in love with it.

Let’s talk swag! What type of schtuff do you bring to book signing at book fairs, etc.?
I don’t want to be wasteful—money or material-wise.
What works for you?? I want all the cool ideas! 😎

Not #kidlit related, but I made some #Dalgona #coffee today. Have you tried it?
It’s super SUPER easy.
~2 tsp instant coffee
~2 tsp sugar
~2 tsp hot water
*blend vigorously until creamy (or use a frother)
*in a separate glass, pour milk over ice
*pour coffee blend on top
YUM!

So, I’ve started a blog! I’ve been missing the sense of community the kidlit world has always provided. The past few years have been😵💫 for me and I feel I’m ready to be inspired, share art from myself and others and maybe (hopefully) inspire you! Click the link in my bio to jump over and say hi!
