Self Publishing tips I learned the hard way
I’ve spent the last year and a half/two years stumbling around with self publishing and illustrating. I read a lot of things online, but most of what I learned came from making mistakes and trying to fix them. So with the re-release of the Balloon Lady well underway, I thought I’d compile a list of…

21 things progress (new, with a legend!)
I’m a photo session at walmart, a large check, and a trip to the library away from getting my passport. A bunch of new clothes and my converse shoes(!!) should arrive in the next two weeks, and I should also be able to finish that off in a few weeks and be all ready for…
