First snowfall of the season expected here today and it’s got me thinking of this mock cover from last winter. I smell snow! ❄️

When your professional life, your personal life, and your favourite reality tv show collide. Can anyone else relate?

My fall décor is up and I’m making soups and stews. The nights are crisp and the mornings are brisk. I’m ready for spooky season to begin!

Another project, another palette. I seriously love putting colours together and can’t wait to get these down on my next cover. ❤️

I was a bit stuck with what to do for my next portfolio piece, but I’ve come up with an idea I’m absolutely smitten with. ❤️

Another middle grade cover done. (Don’t tell the others, but this one’s my favourite).

It’s been a busy week, so I’m stealing time and progress where I can. Every bit counts.

It’s a beautiful day to work on mermaids. Another mock cover in the works.

I have yet to meet a mermaid in real life, but I can tell you for a fact that middle grade mermaids are a force to be reckoned with.

In my happy place working on an assignment for @the_illustration_initiative MG course. Ruby is supervising in full frog dog splendour.

The Shangri-Laura (my outdoor office) is open, at least until the weather turns tomorrow. Sunshine + character work = winning combo.
