When I picked up my kids they were suuuper grumpy so we melted away those bad vibes at the spring. It’s 9 degrees Celsius year round and hit the spot 💦💞🌈✨

It’s blazing hot (for Germany at least!) & I’m working between my getting-stuffier-by-the-minute studio and somewhat cooler kitchen on a couple things I have to finish this week. I’m doing some character sketches for a book project and started with these to get myself thinking before diving in. Though it feels like one of those days we should go to the beach instead of working in a dark room with a fan 😂🏖✨😊

Hi friends! I haven’t shared much WIP from my book “Found You” (Spring ‘20) but thought I could do a little peek into how I’m building the art for the spreads. This is before any digital work...from here I’ll take this mostly finished illo and tweak, touch up and change levels etc in procreate. You can see most of my supplies here except my watercolor palette. I sometimes add some watery base color in places before laying in the pastel. On top of pastel goes color pencil. And I keep my eraser handy to remove pastel where I want to clean up edges or add white space (I can do more of this digitally too). I’m off to do the other page now. Happy Thursday 😘😘

Happy chilly rainy (for us) Wednesday...I’m dreaming of childhood days wandering the little jungles behind our house in Panama. We built bamboo forts and assigned jobs to everyone. I remember I was supposed to bring something for a picnic - I came up with a curious soup of almonds, milk, and pieces of ham...

Happy birthday to our Phylo! I can’t believe he’s already 14 and still happy for all his usuals - walks, mouse hunting, endless begging, sneaky steals, and following me around throughout the day. I’m so grateful for his company and bottomless pit love. We had a disastrous birthday cake experience but thankfully all is now well 🐶🎂🔥🥳💩

Some of you may remember these endpapers I was working on (desperately last minute ha)...I could dream up endpapers for days. Aren’t they just the coolest way of adding to a story?
