Working on a new story...I had one story that got split into two and SPLASH is one of them!

I'm working on style for my character Jessie. Trying to figure out which I like more or how I should even approach the overall look for my picture book.......These are rough but they are all pretty cool! :)

The goal is to have a book dummy done for this little lady by the end of the year or before. I should start on thumbnails soon but I've been creating character designs in hopes story ideas will start to flow. The big question is, what does she want? Once I figure that out then a story should soon follow! :)

2018 Has been a very interesting year. A little sad, a lot of happy, a lot of frustration but most of all a lot of growth!
Career Pros of 2018:

• I signed with an agent
• Received wonderful portfolio feedback from illustrators, agents, and art directors I admirer
• Become a better artist
• Went to SCBWI- NYC
• Won 2nd place in the Spring Spirit Illustration Portfolio Showcase
• Stayed committed to my Crit Group! (Possible name Lit Crit Crew...?? We're still thinking it over lol)
• Got a handful of illustration work based on my artwork!
• Book Dummied/thumbnailed 5 or so new book ideas
• Grew my social media a bit...and tried to post more

I'm sure there's more pros for the year but these are the standouts! And to anyone (if you read this) who has supported me in any way, I want to say thank you! THANK YOU! I hope we have a great 2019!!

This is Theo. She's excited about her new hair cut.

I have a couple of things keeping me busy but I like to create new things and keep ideas flowing. I've had this story rolling around in my head for a while. A story about a bored crab who really dislikes her job...I've got the basic idea down but the words and images are still in progress. :)
