Hello friends,
I ended up taking a summer hiatus unintentionally. The good news is I have lots to catch you up on!
I have a new agent!
In June, I decided it was time for a change and started my agent querying process over again! Pretty much following the steps I gave in my blog from April, How I Found An Agent (click to read if you missed it). Luckily, after a couple of queries the wonderful Emily Fernandez from The Bright Agency reached out to me. After our meeting I knew Bright would be a great fit for me. I’m so excited to for this new step in my career. Check out my Portfolio on the bright agency’s website!
Book Cover Reveal!
In other exciting news! My first book cover reveal is finally here. “From the Farm, to Our Table” written by Sarah Rowe and illustrated by me. A book about farming, sustainability, and family. I had so much fun illustrating this book and can’t wait to share more. You can pre-order it here ! It was so surreal to see my name come up on the Barnes and Noble’s website.
Preparing for my first art market!
This last couple months I’ve been preparing for my first local art market! It took me a while to figure out what and how I wanted to go about it. I decided I was going to start small this time around to see if this is something I want to continue with. Originally, I had planned on creating a new series of illustrations but I ended up not having enough time. So I reused some favorite illustrations I have already done and I really am happy with how everything is looking so far! I have a postcard prints, bookmarks, and stickers. I’m also going to do a butterfly bundle with a matching print bookmark and two butterfly stickers. It’s a pretty modest set up and amount of product so I’m hoping for the best! If you are in the Temecula, CA area the 15th and 16th of September come check out ArtFest!
Personal Life Updates!
I went to Disneyland in June! I hadn’t been in years I used it as a celebration of finishing the two picture books I worked on this year.
On August 4th I saw Taylor Swift for the first time at SoFi stadium! It was such a magical experience!
That’s all I have for now! I should be back to regular monthly posts for the rest of the year! Hope you all had a great restful summer.
congrats on your new agent! <3
