Titanotober 2020

 This year I started my own October drawing challenge, Titanotober. I put together a prompt list and a great number of other artists joined in!

Check out everyone's entries on Twitter and Instagram! Here are mine:

It feels good to do a fun drawing challenge again after what has been a weird year. Hoping there's more good stuff to look forward to next.

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.
