Rounding down the illustrations for the Gracie Brave project and beginning to ramp up for what's next for me.

I'm putting that intention out there and will explore it in the Lilla Roger's Children's Book Illustration class which starts in October.

In preparation for this upcoming course I have been taking a few related classes on Skillshare.
