Dog Days of Summer

It has been hot, hot, hot in the South. I've been staying indoors and taking time to work on book dummies, new portfolio pieces and surface patterns. I also spending time this summer to teaching at a summer camp. I've really enjoyed it! They are some wonderful students that I'm sure will go onto have some amazing careers in the arts.

I also made some time to do a podcast interview with James Yang! He is one of my favorite children's book authors and illustrators. His skill at putting together his words and images together fascinated me. He also recently received 2022 APALA Honor Title for his book A Boy Names Isamu. Congrats to James Yang!
