Carina's the BEST! They made SEA LEGS look amazing!!
Once again it’s the time when I post the stack of books I designed which were published within this calendar year.
This was a year of many changes! Next year will look very different (full of manga lol), but as always I’m so grateful for every artists’ trust. I love making your books shine.

pete’s never seen A Muppet Christmas Carol. i have a storied, raw set of christmas memories surrounding this film (on VHS, complexities around which once earned me huge childhood disgrace with my family); i talked him into watching. right around when rizzo smooches gonzo he said “this shit rules.”

to be clear, a lot of times it really IS just what my face does, but i also feel like, by establishing this precedent, i’ve recently gotten away with a significant number of very visible & inconvenient emotions by saying “that’s just what my face does”
