KaiJune

KaiJuly is a staple of my yearly drawing challenges, but this is the first time I've participated in KaiJune.

In anticipation of my new webcomic, Taking Back Tokusatsu I wanted to draw one of my kaiju characters interacting with classic monsters. This turned into a fun project! The illustrations might go well together as a tiny children's book in the future.




























I also couldn't resist hopping in to a #drawthisinyourstyle prompt from Kat Hudson!


June was also notable as I was invited to speak at the American Libraries Association Annual Conference!





I had the privilege of appearing on a discussion panel about Coming-of-Age stories and how they are well-suited as graphic novels. My debut graphic novel, Minus is out in the world! I feel grateful to everyone who helped make this happen.

And now, the moment we've all been waiting for: Taking Back Tokusatsu goes live on Monday, July 1st! Join me on my next adventure.
