I illustrated a graphic novel!!!! And you can buy it NOW! It was a joy to work with author Mya Thompson (and many others!) to bring Emilio and friends to life in Winged Heroes: For All Birdkind! I learned a ton on this project about how much work goes into a book (from all different directions) and I am so excited that it's going to exist (after a pandemic-caused near miss). Two years of ink, sweat, and virtual paint will be on the shelves of bookstores on September 7th, and is available for pre-order on Amazon or at your local comic book store now! Thank you especially to Mya Thompson, the author and mastermind, and Jill Leichter, the glue that held this project together, for pacing back and forth with thumbnails all over the walls of the Cornell Lab with me in 2018 and 2019 to make this book happen. I hope y'all are proud of it too!! Swipe for some of my favorite images from the book, and let me know what you think when you read it! :) #graphicnovels #art #illu #illustration #drawing #painting #artist #bird #pigeon #city #NYC #CornellLab #birdartist #cartoons #comics #comic #peregrinefalcon #wingedheroes #birdheroes #graphicnovel #kidlit #graphicnovelsforkids #gratitude #digital #ink #publishedbook #published #whew https://www.instagram.com/p/CTM5Dc3LmKh/?utm_medium=tumblr
