      I think the video file is too big to upload to the forum, so here's a link to it on my Instagram:

      I'm pretty happy with how this video turned out — animated it myself in After Effects — and I can't wait until the book comes out in a few months. Huge thanks to SVSLearn, whose videos I was frantically watching while illustrating this book. Hoping some of the talent here would rub off on me.

      About the book: it's called "I Am The Longest Dog," and it's about my actual dog, Lucy. It's MOSTLY a super-goofy book about a very long dog. Kids can have fun tracing the dog-bod with their fingers as she spills over the pages and gets tangled up in things. But it’s SECRETLY about somebody (some...doggy?) who LOVES their body, no matter what. And that’s a voice I’m excited to share with young people. Anyway, enjoy! If you have any questions about the process, I'd be happy to try to answer!
