Here’s my latest piece for this week’s Lemur Art Challenge — featuring the fork-marked lemur from the Cheirogaleidae family!
Fun fact: instead of scent-marking, they scream to mark territory

Meet the Coquerel’s giant mouse lemur — a tiny primate with some giant nighttime adaptations! These nocturnal pros have huge, reflective eyes that help them spot every bit of light in the dark forest. #FunFactFriday

The second one is dressed as a ghost and he is smiling and amazed. The third one is dressed as Frankenstein, he is also scared. The fourth one is dressed as a witch princess and she is slowly walking backwards.

Kelly Sonnack has been announced as the new owner and president of Andrea Brown Literary Agency

The full press release can be found here. Congratulations to Kelly, Andrea, and the whole agency on this new chapter!
“For several years now, Kelly and I have been working to set the groundwork for our agency’s next chapter.

Her generous leadership has given this agency an incredibly strong foundation and along with the amazing team of agents and unrivaled roster of talent we have, ABLA has become a powerhouse,” says Kelly Sonnack. “I look forward to guiding the agency into a new chapter of growth and success, always keeping our creators at the core of our mission. As one of the oldest running agencies on the West Coast, I’m also very proud that we will keep this strong agency based in California.”
