I would have never become an author and illustrator if it wasn’t for my childhood obsession with fantasy worlds. What fantasy world captured your imagination as a kid? ✨

Artists, quote with your sketch and final! 💙 This sketch began with a very clear idea in mind, inspired in part by many travels through airports. "City in the Clouds"

Grip the rails; don’t look back. Ahead, something stirs—alive, electric. You feel it humming in your bones. Let the past fade to shadows. Lift your eyes. The future is uncertain, but it waits for you— unwritten, untamed, and full of light.

Music has a way of pulling me into focus, bringing clarity, and letting creativity flow freely. This piece captures that harmony—the structure I find in rhythm and the wild bursts of inspiration that follow. 🎶 Do you have music that unlocks your creativity? (And which version is your favorite?)
