Another Sneak Peek


Here's another one from the book I'm currently preparing to pitch. Later on in the year, Fran (as she's currently known) is still not having any luck finding somewhere to hibernate that isn't impractical, totally physically impossible, or already taken.

I think gouache and pencil is probably the way to go for this after all. Even if it's going to take AGES.

Somewhere to Sleep (working title) Sneak Peek



Some more experiments with gouache for the book idea I'm currently developing. I need some solid concepts and example illustrations to go with the pitch I'm putting together. I love how clean and solid the colours are, and it's real easy to draw over the top because it spreads so smoothly. Haven't tried illustrating a full page or double-page spread yet though, just these spots.

Spooky Skull Paintings



I painted some spooky skulls for my Etsy. I was supposed to be working on something else but then some spooky skulls popped into my head and I was like "Well, I guess I have no choice now but to paint some spooky skulls." You ever get that?

Don't look for any deeper meaning in these paintings. They are just cute and spooky for the sake of being cute and spooky.
