According to my Substack Author Dashboard, I have accumulated fourteen half-started and now abandoned newsletters. However, I am optimistic that this post will make it off the drafting table…
And that’s because SPRING IS HERE, and I am turning a new leaf. Things are finally turning around after a slow, weird, and challenging 2023. I’ll spare you the details and say I feel healthier and more inspired!
Here’s the latest from the illustration front:
My second author-illustrator picture book is chugging along.
I finished my graphic novel pitch!
I can’t wait to share more about this! Graphic novels have been such a fun and unexpected outlet for me. I’ve always loved reading comics but never thought I would pursue such a lengthy project. Now I’m totally hooked!
I’m working on a series of illustrations that skew slightly older and are less storytelling-focused. (Though, I think these would just be darling in a little girl’s room.)
This particular set of watercolor paintings is inspired by dresses that remind me of beautiful cakes, and I am having so much fun. Is this the year I finally get a series of prints together and table at markets and festivals? I hope so!
Here’s the mood board I created for this new endeavor.
All for now,
Katie
Yay you're back! So good to hear from you and all about your exciting projects!
