I started a blog substack.com/@svtworks , did some reflecting and there was much to be grateful for that led me to my kidlit journey and connected me with creatives (and of course books).
Also the blogging is an exercise to tell quick stories and have fun doodling. It's a catchall -after coffee.

HI Heather,
I gave the link flipbook link online.fliphtml5.com/gkwno/ydvf/#...
this has some sketches, traditional architecture studies, and traditional inspired design work. I have a background in architecture and would enjoy working on classical illustrations since it's familiar to me.
