POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

No time to rest! After a weekend at @nationalhavoc Teams three weeks ago it's time to return with Phenomenon! It's currently a sprint to get everything ready for battle but it will all be worth it to qualify a 2nd 30lber for the Finals at the end of the year! Big thanks to @teamhoneycracked for inspiring the new hubmotor design! Hopefully this experiment will reveal a whole new path of growth. Swipe to see build and test videos!

“Central America, ¡mira, mira, mira!” , a mini mirrors book published by @shoutmousepress , is out now!

thank you to the incredible authors, Araceli, Edith, and Juliana, for trusting me w the illustrations! it was sooo lovely to work together and to put your visions and ideas to paper!! ^_^ the bilingual baby book is about something special in each of the countries in Central America<3.

you can learn more about this book and others to purchase and support at shoutmousepress.org. all the books are by young authors! the last slide is the 3 other baby board books that were written and illustrated this year, and they all contain such important stories and beautiful illustrations.

these are a few cropped spreads of the collage/illustrations without text. it was fun experimenting and learning to combine different mediums.. this was a combo of gouache painting with digital collage and detailing. i hope i can do full traditional collaging in the future!!

thank you to shoutmousepress for opportunity!
