Heading to the SCBWI winter conference this week!! 

Picked up my new business and post cards  ♥️  that I had made for  # LA17SCBWI   # gotprint   # kidlitart   # illustrator   # scbwi   # author

 I was at a writing residency when I learned that I had come in 2nd place for a contest with the SCBWI Alaska. The contest was to create an image for a poster and banner, this is what I came up with. Now I'm going to use it for my summer business cards and postcards for conferences.

Have a super day and if you are on the east coast, PLEASE BE SAFE.

Omg it's the last day of July! Things are getting really busy for me and I am very excited about all of them. The first thing happening starting tomorrow is the SCBWI summer conference in Los Angeles, which is SOLD OUT! If you don't know, the SCBWI is the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators. I do both, professionally. I have illustrated about 18 books now and written a few picture books for a mobile app company I worked for in 2012/2013 called FarFaria. I am currently pitching my early chapter book series entitled Uli Driscoll in Trouble, and will have a dummy at the conference attached to my portfolio.
