The best compliment is hearing my client's little girl, whose mom commissioned me for illustrations featuring their #dogs, loves the illustrations. 🥰
These were so fun to draw! And for a very special place in the house (the nursery)

Writing is hard. Illustrating is hard. Editing, designing, marketing, publishing...it's all hard.
So you have to choose your hard, because just about everything worth pursuing won't be easy.
