My Favorite Part of Neverland

I know I have a problem. Okay, an obsession.

But when I was recently asked to create a new piece for a Disney Fine Art event a few weeks ago, the mermaid lagoon scene from Peter Pan was all I could think about. I thought it would probably be best to go ahead and get it out of my system before things got out of hand.

I have been keeping busy working on several projects and getting ready for CTN-X next week! If you happen to be going to the show, you can find me at Table 56 right next to my good friend and fellow mermaid enthusiast, Liana Hee! I should have more updates before the show, but until then have a lovely week!

Peck'n'paw!

Comic Con is just around the corner, and the Visual Development Department at Disney has put together a beautiful book for the show called Pecknpaw and the Black Mirror. Each artist was encouraged to submit pieces based on that single-line theme, and the resulting book is lovely!

I was thrilled to be asked to contribute to the book, and this is my piece!

We have also been working on bookplates that will be sold with special editions of the book at the Con - Here is a little snapshot of a few that I was able to do:



Pecknpaw and the Black Mirror can be found at booth 4819 at Comic Con! We will have books, bookplates, and some prints from the book on hand. I will be bringing prints of my piece, and any left over after the show will go up in the shop! If you are going to the con, be sure to stop by the booth and say hello!

And don't worry, out-of-towners - the nice folks at Gallery Nucleus are currently taking pre-orders on the book. You can reserve a copy here.

Have a lovely week, everyone! I hope to see you all in San Diego!

A Little Bit of History

Here is a little self- portrait of me circa 20 years ago.

I've spent months trying to come up with the right words to express myself in this post, but I still don't think I can do it justice. Simply put, life is wonderful. If you can dream it, you can do it.
20 years later, that little girl gets to stroll into the Walt Disney Animation Studios every day and walk among giants. It doesn't get much sweeter than that.
I sincerely thank everyone who has ever given me support, and if you are reading this, that includes you. Thank you, thank you, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

I haven't quite gotten settled in the new job yet, so posts might be sparse for a while. I will do my best to keep up, but please forgive me if I am a little slow. I will still be heading out to conventions, including Emerald City Comic Con in Seattle next weekend! If you are in the area you should definitely stop by! And after that I will be back in the Bay for Wondercon! If you have a chance to come to either show, please do. Until then, ta ta for now!
