This beautiful book is out today! Published by Dial Books for Young Readers/ Penguin Publishing. One of three books that I worked on last year (which I wouldn’t recommend anyone to do btw, so stressful). But it was a total dream to work with everyone from Penguin and the author. It’s truly a body of work (32 pages) I’m very proud of.
I have been missing in action for MONTHS.
I have no idea if people read these things, but maybe I am writing it for myself a little bit more. The last months of 2020 have been filled with so many emotions, that I had little to no interest in drawing. However, I managed to begin writing a story. Pencil on paper, pretty ugly handwriting.
My style has been all over the place but I realised I don’t care. The story I am currently writing makes my heart race and I will do anything to transform it into a visual fantasy that is relatable and sincere.
Love,
Jinke
