1) Big news! My partner and I are expecting a baby in August! We are super excited and are starting to organize everything we need for later this summer. It’s been a strange experience during a pandemic but overall, we couldn’t be happier.
2) Thesis is in the final draft stages, I’m still hoping to defend this summer but we shall see how it goes. Fingers crossed.
3) I’m almost finished the illustrations for the children’s novel, it’s looking amazing. I can’t wait to get this project to a state of completion so I can share it with everyone.
4) Minor setback, I’ve learned that I have arthritis in my right thumb. It prevented me from typing and drawing for almost four days. I can’t really imagine what life would be life if I couldn’t draw anymore… but I need to not stress about it. I’m lucky it’s very minor and it’s made me realize I need a better work/life balance.
5) I’m very excited to have some new illustration work being presented for Laiwan’s art project called HOW WATER REMEMBERS. Check out her website for more info:

Other things:
i am still working on the Tsilhqotin war research project, it’s going well.
I am still working on the summer intensive for the Master of Arts in Children’s literature.
My books are entirely closed for the rest of the year. I cannot take on any further projects and will be considering new projects in the new year - 2022.
Keep well, wonderful people.
