The real thing
It’s weird. Jessica and I have been working on this thing for two years now—imagining, planning, dreaming, drawing, writing, drafting, rewriting, editing, designing, redesigning, lettering, illustrating, editing again, photographing, curating, gathering, fact-checking, editing some more. But even though we did all of that, and for so long, only now does it actually feel like it’s…

Cover girls
Jessica and I are on pins and needles this week, as advance reader copies of our book will be arriving any day now. So while we wait to get our hands on the real thing, we figured now was a good time to share the cover of the book with you! I got to do…

As…

Book Art Object
This gigantic tome (I know you can’t tell from the photograph, but you’ll have to take my word for it—you could pave a street with it) has been a long time in the making. The folks at Codex have finally published the second volume of Book Art Object, and look—I’m in it! It’s a beautiful…

The Edible Landscape
You can imagine my delight when I came home to find a book I’ve illustrated waiting in my mailbox! I’m happy to announce that The Edible Landscape by Emily Tepe, published by Voyageur Press, is now available! The book is centered on a subject very close to my heart: urban homesteading and the slow food…

Around the world in 80 dishes
I think it’s time to get that new wok I’ve been meaning to buy, because I have a feeling it’s going to get a lot of use. The cookbook I illustrated is now available, and I can’t wait to give it a whirl. Tacoma Community House has been serving Tacoma’s immigrant community for decades, offering…

Daughter of Kura
Lately I’ve been doing some things that fall a little outside of what you might normally find in my studio. See figure A, above. Daughter of Kura, the debut novel by Debra Austin, is being released tomorrow, so Debra and the folks at Side x Side Creative put together an in-depth website to promote the…
