Itchin' for a colored pencil, are you?

Itchin' for a colored pencil, are you?

Author, Author!

May 16, 2016

I am rather chuffed, thrilled, excited, pink-tickled to announce that I will be a published illustrator! Since late December I have been working on creating a coloring book for Thunder Bay Press which is slated to be published on February 4, 2017. It will be 96 pages in a cool 10" x 10" format and will feature illustrations with the broad theme (and tentative title) "Look Up." I am incredibly grateful to Thunder Bay for taking a flyer on me in what some have called a "saturated market" for adult coloring books. It's an amazing opportunity and is pushing my artistic boundaries and getting me to think in new ways. I am rather stoked to see my work in Barnes and Nobel and Target, too. Above all, it's mind-boggling that colorists who buy this book, perhaps thousands, will be fellow artistic collaborators. I really hope they post their completed art on my Twitter and Facebook pages. More soon!
