I remember my grandfather "testing" my Chinese by asking me what I had for dinner when I was a kid.
I couldn't answer properly and everyone laughed at my terrible Chinese. My mom looked kind of embarrassed.

Sketchbook studies with one of my favourite painters ever, Filipino national artist Fernando Amorsolo. I was able to finally pick up a book of his works when I was back in Manila last month. #sketchbook 🇵🇭

Play as research? That's an important part of being an illustrator, no?
I am having some fun drawing and painting studies based on the amazing stuff I saw at the Vietnam Fine Arts Museum I visited Hanoi last month. It was so wonderful!

Dopey pigeons always looking at you with THOSE EYES 👀
Been feeling a bit creatively blocked/sour lately. Thank goodness for these incredibly accurate nature drawings I've been doing to fill my sketchbook.

Just a funny idea for an imagined book cover. 😂 Maybe a middle grade book in the future?
I remember my grandpa had a mini shark at some point! Or maybe I was dreaming and it was just a really big fish...

I heard from some little birdy that today is NATIONAL GRANDPARENTS DAY 💕
Thought I'd share these funny idea sketches I had for a story I've been working on for a while.

I am kind of a local news nut, so this is a dee-light to see!
Mr. Keith Baldrey's bookshelf is the ultimate BC author's easter egg!!! ❤️ This man has made it a mission to support BC books even as he talks about federal funding for EV infrastructure. He is so cool.

Lots of new friends I've made have asked me how to pronounce my last name. What a thoughtful question!
My last name is a common word in Asia, particularly from Vietnam. Most English speakers have trouble, but that's okay.
Also, do you know who Barbara Walters and Arnold Palmer are? 😰

"I ate [too] much [salmon] rolls." 😍 Me too, girl. Me too.

Some special folks have said some lovely things about Emerson lately.
I was nervous about making this book, but friends like Eloise and Mr. Lucky Budd made it feel less scary to show everyone else! Thank you! ❤️
