Ramadan Mubarak!! Best of luck fasting today!

My best performing art on twitter is this piece. 1) Went viral on twitter and got me the attention of the agent who would rep me for all these years2) BUT ALSO, was the piece my mentor critiqued the most in my portfolio. Said I could do better-- and she was RIGHT to say it.

If any folks out here are looking for an illustrator to do something for Ramadan next month, consider ya girl. I love doing editorial work, posters, and covers featuring my joyous communityClients Google, Abrams, Scholastic, Pillars Fund

Donuts for Scholastic Action Magazine
