my little fox painting is up at Giant Robot this month. feeling appreciative of all the galleries & small businesses like GR who forge on through these tough times, innovating and pivoting to make it work. you carry artists (like me) with you, you carry your community with you. keep supporting small biz, local biz, and artists, friends ❤️ let’s get through this together!

The painting I made in my last post is now a notecard! It is among so, so many more new illustrated cards on my site (shop.boygirlparty.com / #boygirlparty on #etsy) — swipe to see other new sets!

I’m showing a new painting in a new show at Giant Robot in LA. and all of this is happening while i soak up the live writing and illustration advice at @scbwi’s summer conference (on zoom).

So, lots new in my studio in this time when things don’t feel like they’re changing very much overall. feeling appreciative of this & that.

picture books take years to make. YEARS!!! this photo is from my desk over a year ago as i painted each page of She Wanted To Be Haunted!

back when i started working on this ***two and a half years ago***, i could never have imagined #SheWantedtobeHaunted would launch when the world was so completely changed, but i’m still proud of what we made & hopeful its sinister silliness makes some folks laugh together. Thank you so much to everyone who ordered She Wanted to be Haunted! it is a Real Book now & i love seeing your posts about it ❤️ in the absence of being able to gather, being able to sign at my favorite bookstores, being able to speak with families and share it at festivals or schools or conferences or all the events that have been cancelled, it feels good to see you sharing it with yours here!

today!!!!!!! SHE WANTED TO BE HAUNTED is out! 🖤

today!!!!!!! SHE WANTED TO BE HAUNTED is out! 🖤🖤🖤 order it from your favorite bookseller! and swipe for a glimpse at the original art in my studio.

the creepy cute, paranormal, rhyming, hilarious story by @marcusewertwriter had me laughing every time i read it. i loved the challenge of bringing a pink house with a bad attitude to life in illustration! there is also a unicorn 🦄 (but NOT a nice one!)

my character illustrations were inspired by my time in rhode island, living in a pink house that had a few ghosts hanging around 👻 hope this makes kids laugh at a time when some silliness might be needed 🖤

My Flying Fish miniature painting (only 3x4”!) i

My Flying Fish miniature painting (only 3x4”!) is in the Underwater show at Giant Robot opening today. It’s been a strange experience this year to make and send physical, handmade artwork for art shows only attended virtually, when my paintings are meant to hold a viewer’s focus closely in person with its tiny details. A miniature painting is meant to draw you toward it!
I’ll skip the fish out of water metaphors, but we both know they’re there!
You can see and purchase work from the show at giantrobot.com

Also: as we discuss inclusion and celebrating Black, indigenous, and other marginalized business owners, i want to celebrate how
@giantrobot & @giantrobotstore have ****always*** made a focus of showing the work of people of color. Focused primarily on, but not limited to, Asian and Asian American art, GR is a small business with the most dedicated team behind it i’ve ever met (including @cassloop who curated this show), a community, and a unique voice in art and design curation. i am proud to be a part of the GR family. Eric welcomed me and my long, strange last name nearly 20 years ago. i’ll collab with GR as long as they’ll have me 💙💙💙
