It's been a while since I was on Twitter but I'd like to reintroduce myself! I'm fortunate enough to be able to illustrate full-time and am repped by the lovely @SeriousKayla with @UpstartCrowLit. I am a mom of two avid readers and we all live in Hawaii.
Did you know that @KyleLukoff & @katdesigns created Acorn books for @Scholastic?! I didn’t, until I had the pleasure of seeing Kyle again at #CCBF2022. I just had to buy one to give as a gift to a special young reader.
Happy Publication Day!

Been a bit gloomy here, but thankfully in Hawaii you have year round May flowers!

I love memories that are evoked by the smell of food. I believe everyone had a grandma or an aunt who made the best food, or at least one food, that you can fondly recall from your childhood!

Still tweaking and experimenting with my character Harumi! Slowly getting to a design I'm very happy with.

Here are some sketches and early character designs for Harumi. I wasn't sure how I wanted her hair but I did know I wanted her to dress comfortably and be barefoot!

A new character for a story idea I've been thinking bout recently! This is Harumi and she loves a noodle dish known as "saimin" here in Hawaii which is sort of like our version of ramen.

Just extending the story of the previous illustration I posted a few days ago. Picnics at the beach are always so much better from memory!

There's no way around it: A circle is always an oval, but an oval is never a circle! Wait ... what?
