Revisiting an old digital illustration to see if I can redo it fully in watercolor! A quick little study to make myself a little less nervous. #watercolor #kidlitart #snow #winterwoods #sketchbook #wip

Michael Pham fled Vietnam at the age of 13. He was named bishop of San Diego a month ago. Today, he stood watch at a courthouse: ICE agents were “standing there covered with masks as we walked toward the courtroom. Eventually the agents scattered and went away” timesofsandiego.com/life/2025/06...

ICE agents scatter as SD Bishop Pham, other clergy visit immigration court

"Our presence made a difference," one priest said, quoting an immigration lawyer saying their client was given more time to prepare for another hearing.

I had some leftover watercolor paper and I wanted to do something kind of mindless. Filling up a page in my sketchbook. #watercolor #collage

Saw a Vietnam veteran holding a sign today that read “no military parades for draft dodgers”.

I did it! I competed an entire 36 page picture book in watercolor! My first time doing a book with traditional media. It was a slog, but I am much happier with how it turned out. I’m going to be showing more of the process and final art soon!

If you’re not inserting yourself or friends/family members/pets into your illustrations, are you even making art at all? In all seriousness, we illustrators need to have some cheeky fun in our books once in a while. Any guesses as to who these fairies are? #illustration #kidlitart #fairies

ICE is detaining international students, visa holders, and green card residents over their First Amendment-protected speech. If you’re in a state with a Democratic attorney general, urge them to push back on Trump’s destruction of due process & protect the right to dissent: bluestatedefiance.org/ice

The first posy in a thimble I made, to lift my mood during the pandemic. The flowers are all real. When humans look at plants (even on a screen as here) we recover from stress 60% more quickly & the relaxation response is triggered in our brains. Zoom in if you're strung out🌿

A very small (real) flower arrangement in a thimble including forget me nots , lily of the valley, buttercup, geum, chive flower bud, snowberry, green alkanet…

‘Most authors are not rich, connected, or cushioned. We write because it matters and because we believe it might matter to you too.’ - this is a beautifully well written and very true post. And indeed, all pre-orders and library requests and reviews are pearls beyond price.
