“The river was called… the Kohaku River”
A digitally illustrated fanart painting of Haku and Chihiro from the Ghibli film “spirited away” during the scene where they fall from the sky and float. Haku’s dragon body is evaporating into scales. He and Chihiro face each other in midair and clasp hands. The sun shoots out beams of light in all directions. The colors are blue and gold

Big Dreams
A little red dragon (Ember, from the book "The Bakery Dragon" by Devin Elle Kurtz) is seen from above in this digital painting. He is sitting on cobblestones, which are wet with puddles after a rainstorm. He gazes up at the much larger dragons in the sky above him. They have dropped some gold coins they carry.

Undersea Sleepover
A digital painting of children at a sleepover playing with stuffed animals of undersea creatures like whales and sharks. Outside the window, we can see out into a starry and magical ocean filled with sea creatures mirroring the movements of the children's stuffed animals. Some kids wear blanket capes or play in a blanket fort. Some eat chips and pizza. Dogs run alongside them, past arranged sleeping bags and houseplants. It is warmly lit inside and cool out the window.

Freeing the Spirits of the Sea
This digital painting is set on a rocky ocean shore. The sky is dark and stormy. The environment is very cool and blue. A girl with black and white hair, wearing a spotted dark-purple cloak, is summoning sparkling, ghostly whales and sea creatures from the ocean. She stands on a rock, lit by the yellow sparkling creatures above.

Crystal Dragons from “Seven Ways Through the Woods” (out today!)
A girl with blonde hair wearing blue overalls looks through a spyglass as she floats down a sparkling, light-dappled forest river on a raft made up of woven rainbow dragons. There are seven dragons, each a different color of the rainbow, and they overlap to create a white glow beneath the girl’s feet. In the back are mossy trees and tall river reeds.

Daily life of Pokémon
A digital illustration of Pokémon gathering on the ocean shore to watch fireworks in the night. A blastoise with a squirtle on its shoulders is prominent. The squirtle points at one of the fireworks, in the pattern of a Pokéball. We see an assortment of other pokemon like Lapras, Starmie, Corsola, and Shellder. In the distance are various buildings including a pokemon center. Digitally illustrated pokemon fanart depicting charmander flying on Charizard's back beneath a cloudy blue sky, through a sea of pokemon themed koinobori children's day kites. The kites are modeled after sea pokemon like gyarados, mantine, goldeen, and magikarp. Digitally illustrated fanart of Bulbasaur and Venusaur at a mossy, green shrine. Bulbasaur runs up warmly lit stairs after Mew. Mew hovers under a shrine gate between statues of Growlithe. Venusaur watches from the sidelines with a smile amidst mossy statues of Snorlax.
