RECENTLY

Another sketchbook filled. I switched sketchbooks from my normal moleskine this time and really struggled. I did not like using this one (it’s a handbook brand for anyone wondering - lots of people love them, I don’t). The paper was too thin and too textured and generally just blech. I powered through and now onto the next, which is also different but already feeling better than this one. Lots of doodles and some random zines in this one. The last month or so has not given time for much else but doodling, but at least I still had time for that! It’s feeling like a Friday (no motivation), so I gave in and started drawing weird dogs. #sketchbook #kidlitart Thinking about (and doodling) all the ways to read a book. When I was a kid, I basically spent my entire summer at the library. There was a sweet little lofted area where I would drag my pile of books and read for hours. I miss those days! A little smeary sketchbook doodle of what I hope to be doing soon. Preferably by a lake. I got an amazing package in the mail yesterday, my first finished copy of MI CASA IS MY HOME! It was so vibrant and bright when I pulled it out of the package I might have squealed with glee. This adorable story about home and family was written by @salisima and will be out September 7! It’s available for preorder now (link in my bio). @melaniecordova and Hayley, it looks so good! 😍😍😍 Finished another sketch journal recently, swipe to have a peek inside the first 5 months of the year, this one started slow and then I finished more than half of it in a month or so, after I started doing weekly deliberate practice sessions in it. Lots of frogs and shoes and attempts at comics and questions in this one. Why is Cookie the Coqui sad? Will I ever finish my TBR pile? 🤷🏻‍♀️
