Just six more days until Miss Camper is released!! Here’s a preview of Sue’s summer fashion creations. After my debut book, I learned the importance of having character model sheets ready, as they’re incredibly useful for maintaining continuity! #kidlit #graphicnovels

Throughout my life, I've struggled with self-image & understanding femininity. However, recently I've found comfort in connecting with divine feminine energy, like the Aztec goddess Xochiquétzal & Mayan goddess Ixchel. Working with them feels empowering & has reshaped my perception of femininity.

Since moving to Austin, I’ve been drawn to Nopales, a symbol of resilience and bittersweet transformation. Even in tough times, we’re allowed to dream. Don’t lose hope ❤️🩹
