I love observing the way artists improve over time, and I especially love observing my own growth. Ella and Kit, on the left, is from March 2015. Juliet and Dawsey, on the right, is from today, in August 2018. Both are just first sketches, but I can see a lot of improvement in my skills over the three years!

“That’s what I love about reading: one tiny thing will interest you in a book, and that tiny thing will lead you onto another book, and another bit there will lead you into a third book. It’s geometrically progressive—all with no end in sight, and for no other reason than sheer enjoyment.”
