Some of you may remember the first piece, one of my favorite paintings I’ve ever created, back in 2021. Thanks to all the passion of the bakery dragon’s fans, he is now getting his own picture book, written and illustrated by me! It will be published this October by @Random House Children’s Books 🥹 Its available for pre-order now wherever books are sold! Link in my bio! I would love to talk about the process more on here, I learned SO much writing and illustrating my own picture book. I got to play with style, color, storytelling, and expand my writing skills in ways I have always wanted. I cant wait to show you more!!! #digitalart #kidlit #childrensbook

My publisher has allowed me to give you guys a sneak peek inside the book! If you want to see how the story unfolds, “The Bakery Dragon” is available through Barnes & Noble, Amazon, or my favorite option: your local independent bookstore! This book took me over a year in all — the story development process involved 3 rounds of very different drafts, with the story evolving massively between each draft. The 3rd draft is what eventually became the final story, and it was a draft I did with thumbnailing and writing combined. Im just a visual person, it helped me so much to draw WHILE I was writing! The art also took a long time — I wanted the setting to feel grounded and real, like a place you could actually visit. I spent a long time laying out the architecture and town map. It was worth it!! Im so proud to have gone through this process and can’t wait to work on the next book!

Replying to @WhiskeyRabbit My thought process when painting a poster for my book “The Bakery Dragon” our now wherever books are sold!

The Bakery Dragon is a officially on shelves today, wherever books are sold!! Thank you all SO much for your support with this little guy through the years. You are a massive reason that he made it this far at all! First week sales matter a lot for books — if you plan to pick one up, it would mean the world if you did it this week!
