Happy Pub Day to JUST KEEP GOING! This book is a reminder to myself that this is really all I can do at times. This career I’ve chosen is hard, with lots of ups and downs, and the only way through is to keep my head high, take one step at a time, breath, envision what I want, and Just. Keep. Going.

I have a NEW LOGO!! I’m keeping the general theme because it still feels like “me”. I’ve changed my business to “Studio” instead of “Illustration” because it’s shorter and I do more than just illustration! I was also encouraged to change my giraffe to a fox, which is my favorite animal.

Mock Cover Reveal!! For a collaboration with @cassi.mccreight who saw an old mock cover I made and was so inspired that she wrote a story to go with it! So, of course, I needed to give it a properly updated cover with the characters and a little more magic. This one is also going out on submission!
