Orange County Children's Book Festival
If you're in the area or know some ppl who're interested, hope y'all can make it! 
Long Beach Comic-Con turned out pretty good. :> Meeting lots of amazing creators there is always a highlight too. (these are all Instagram tags, l-lol ;; before this month is out I'm going to have to make some changes to where I post online *cough*get far away from the ex-bird app*cough* )
davidarroyo I especially love this marker portrait 
it really made my day
Next event is the Orange County Children's Book Fair...! So gonna hunker down and get ready for that! 
This arrived in the mail just this weekend! (I backed their pilot Kickstarter seemingly ages ago, but it's always fun when stuff like this finally shows up ;3)
As for my projects, I've been back on the writing saddle this month, still writing the next installment of SSnPP ✏️ It's going to be its own self-contained adventure, but still keep continuity with what's already happened.
It's probably never going to be "perfect" but doing the story that way will make me happiest, with where it is and where it still needs to go. 
Also been getting wrecked by nasty bug bites all summer ;; But here's a photo of a cute couple to balance that out.
More art coming soon ~ will most likely be SSnPP-related. 
Feature Friday 7-14-23
It's been 4 months since I did one of these...? Here's some artists I wanted to highlight

I feel like I'm inevitably going to feature the same artist twice without realizing it. 
But if you see it happen, that probably means you're really killing it with your stuff? 
thank you to the ppl who recommended me, thank you to everyone who's stuck around, thank you all for being such lovely creative people that inspire me over and over again all these years
