This week two clients got “the call” and we’re ending the week wrangling up their contracts.

I know publishing feels harder than ever lately, but good things are still happening, and great books are still being scooped up.

Hang in there. ❤️

It's an autumnal #kidlitartpostcard day!

The trees are busy changing colour & flinging leaves off in all directions. Huge piles sit around periodically crunchy and soggy. Winter is approaching fast!

My ink, watercolor, color pencil illustration of family of rabbits visiting on an autumn day. Mama Bunny leads the way carrying a pumpkin tureen. Followed by sister bunny holding a bag of apples. The bag has a hole at the bottom and it's leaking apples. Which causes the bunny behind her to trip, throwing his plate of cupcakes in the air. The bunny bringing up the rear is carrying a pie and is distracted by the cupcakes. Hopefully he won't trip on an apple.
