Celebrating 'The Right Thing to Do' with Teresa Chi!

Last week I got to meet Teresa Chi for a very special celebration involving her book called, 'The Right Thing to Do'. She brought a copy for me and there's nothing like seeing your work in '3D'!

This is the first time I was commissioned to illustrate a book, and that I was not both the author and illustrator. I truly loved the experience, and hope I get the opportunity to work with Teresa again, as well as other authors and songwriters in the future.

Here's the little swinging monkey from the book on Teresa's phone!

The restaurant 'Horchata' made a great backdrop to our evening!

Snag your copy of 'The Right Thing to Do' online!

And please don't forget to sign up this month for my email list, as I will be giving a FREE digital copy of my next book away next month!!

So, I'm meeting with Teresa of 26Songs today to go over some final illustrations and the cover for her book! I am so excited to get into the final round of things so that her dream can soon be a reality!

Stay tuned to the blog for information on 'The Right Thing to Do'.

Sneak Peek!

This week I've been busily working on the illustrations for a new children's book! I don't want to reveal too much before it's complete, but I will say the story is very special and written by the talented Teresa Chi of 26Songs. 

watercolor pencils - my secret weapon while illustrating!

my other secret weapon - coffee!
