This scene took awhile; Working with the author to reduce the amount of text and add to the illustration instead, but still tell the same story. I’ll break down the process if anyone is interested in learning how I made this scene?

I did a school visit this morning at Vientiane International School and received this wonderful drawing from one of the students. They were delightful and attentive. It was precious when they asked for my autograph. I read ”A Sticky Mess” and taught them how to draw the characters. With grades 11-12, I talked about storytelling and how useful the skill is in UX and communication in general. I’ll share photos when they’re released.
