Thank you Nell! 🤗💖✨ It’s so fun seeing how few strokes I can use to capture a reference. Have you ever tried it?

No, I haven't tried it. I don't know if I'd know where to start?

I loved your illustrations of the boys fishing and you with your friend. That kid really knew how to eat popsicles!

I don’t know if I was ever given two popsicles at once, let alone *rocket* popsicles! I barely ever got to eat both sides of regular popsicle 🫠

I love the yellow pages sketchbook and this Retro beach party zine is so good (it was a great session)!
