Hi all,
It’s been a while since I posted. I am excited to share some news! I’ve been busy designing and teaching digital art classes for my local school system and also working on my first paid children’s book: Bossy Britches by Ashley Mangrum.
The book came out July 30th on Amazon.
Here’s the cover:
