Hi!!! Big fan of your art here, I had noooo idea you had a tumblr, but now it's my goal to let you know this:

You art is amazing!!! It's a huge inspiration to me, and I mean huge! I remember reading Front Desk when I was nine when it first came out and I was so enamored with the cover! Honestly, each book that was released I anticipated seeing your art and I'd always look in the back of the book to find your name! Hope this doesn't seem like a weird ask, you're awesome and you've inspired me to do art!

Your art, like the other ask said, is super cozy and I hope to see more of it! I always immediately recognize it when I pick up a book, not just the Front Desk series but other books like Ghost Girl - Immediate recognition from the lettering and style!!! You rock!

Awwww that's so sweet! Thank you so much for your kind message! I'm happy you found your passion for doing art, it's so much fun! ^_^ Yeah I let tumblr slide a bit in recent years, but I actually realized I prefer it over all the social media now. It feels like a little community here somehow.

O gosh I just noticed I don't get notifications on tumblr i think it's because of the browser used! So I don't know how old this message is (because there is no date on messages anymore)... I still wanted to thank you very much for your kind message even if it's probably 3 years old at least! I appreaciate it! <3 Thank you! EDIT: I noticed I can turn dates on in the settings, i'm dumb.

An illustration I've drawn at the start of the year and never posted. I usually get in the sewing mood when it starts to get colder and never in summer, so I always have to remember how all that sewing worked again.

An illustration I did in early 2020. I missed the sun of summer and the birds chirping back then and wanted to capture that feeling. :)
