Just got these new window clings in. I am collaborating with Wandering Free and Queer to distribute them to queer friendly businesses. I will also have them for sale soon.

Made a graphic for an out of state event. Sorry to @wilwheaton.net His pic was on the website as I took a screen shot. I had little control over what happened next. Important take aways are, I will be @ Rose City Comic Con in Sept, & I’m not great at drawing people, so I improvised w/ a robotic arm

The only diet I will ever be on is my current one. It’s the “home with no car to go buy junk food”

I have some catching up to do with my book blanket. I’ve been busy, so the hexagons have dropped in priority. Here is the one for the book Sadie. I have now made a mental note to try to stop reading books with black, white, and red covers. I have three with this color combination. 📚💙

You say this with such authority. I need to know if this is true.

Restocked my popular buttons for this weekend. Find us at Making Local in Bothell on Saturday and the Everett Farmer’s Market on Sunday.

Current vibe

Ever feel like you are smashing the day so hard and you are ready to celebrate… only to find it’s 10 am and you have to maintain this level of badass for 12 more hours! Just me?

Several times today I thought I had a spiderweb on me. But alas, it's just whispy grey hair that didn't make it into my ponytail 🤣

It’s very upsetting when your product order gets delayed, you have no idea why, and you have a big Mother’s Day weekend of sales coming up. 😢

Yesterday I hung my art for “Words on Birds” at Ugly Baby in Seattle.

If you are in the area of Pike Place Market, go check it out! I will be there in person for the Bell Town Artwalk on Friday from 6-9.

Happy #freecomicbookday ! It's close enough to Star Wars Day I thought I'd share my free Star War fan comic. A little Han and Chewie shenanigans.

Picture is of an advertisement that says It’s Coming! Words on Birds which is advertising an art showing of bird paintings wearing t-shirts. The one on the advertisement is a toucan wearing a white shirt that says Tango in black letters. The background is a brownish color covered in small red and purple flowers like wallpaper. Art Walk opening on May 9 from 6-9 pm. Show will be held at Ugly Baby on Western which is on the back side of Pike Place Market.

In May (or just after the first of May), I will be showing my bird paintings. I am calling it Words on Birds. I hope you will come check them out

Ugly Baby is a fun shop on Western (back side of Pike Place Market). I will be there on May 9 for Art Walk

What is your favorite independent book store in Seattle? Since I don’t live there, I don’t know many.

I have a secret. I have been taking a mini break from my normal illustrations & fiber art and I have been painting. Today I dropped one off at Ben Franklin’s in Monroe for a mini art show

This is just one of many. I be displaying them at Ugly Baby in May

Finished The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. I struggled through it even on audio, not a fan. On to better things, I can now read James. 💙📚

I also don't like the cover on this one either... which i am guessing is a classic audio book thing. But, alas, here is another hexi

#crochet #bookblanket

Tried my hand at manifesting… and it didn’t go my way. I am sad. Of course, nothing really lost… just maybe a little bit of pride.

The Pairing by Casey McQuiston is pictured with a crocheted hexagon in the colors of the cover. The cover depicts an illustration of two androgynous characters kissing. The colors of the cover are turquoise, oranges, browns, and yellows.

I read The Pairing by Casey McQuiston & I need a break from RomComs. I really enjoyed Red, White, & Royal Blue. But I was not a fan of this book. I wasn’t feeling any chemistry between the main characters, so the spiciness fell flat for me

Sadly, I don’t like the cover colors either for my hexi

📚💙

Happy #PortfolioDay ! I'm a writer/ artist in the PNW. I'm open genre wise, and like to play with my style to suit the project. You can find sequentials and and samples of my creator owned projects and fan comics here- www.kcqillustrations.net

Pictured is a colorful hexagon made to match the book cover of Abby Jimenez’s book, Just for the Summer. The book cover shows an illustration of a couple (male and female) running in water with a brown dog following. They seem to be at a lake with trees and mountains in the background at sunset

This is probably my favorite Abby Jimenez book so far. I was crying. And bonus, it makes for a colorful hexagon!

📚💙

Sharing my April Market schedule here. It’s a light month, but we have a lot happening in the background.

#supportsmallbusiness #worldofwhimm #illustration

Photo with a picture of the book Internment by Samira Ahmed. Next to the book is a crocheted hexagon in the colors of the book cover; red, white, black, grey, and brown. The book has an illustration of a girl wearing a hat that says "resist"

Another hexi done & another book finished. I believe Internment might be a young adult book, but it doesn't matter. I really enjoyed it (as much as you can enjoy such a topic), but it hit a little close to home as Trump embarks on his 2nd presidency (this was published in 2019). 📚💙

#booksky #resist

I just thought I would share a picture of my coworker. It’s like being on a group project and having to do all the work… but you let it happen because your partner is cute. Just me?

The book, If Cats Disappeared From the World is pictured on the right. The cover is white with gold lettering and a black kitten. The crocheted hexagon on the left mimics the colors of the cover.

When B&N offered this as their $5 book, it was a yes for me. I enjoyed it, but wanted to connect with it more. Maybe because I would have made different choices than the main character

Another hexagon for the #bookblanket. I just noticed an extra row of stitches, but that is future me’s problem

A photo of an iPad with the cover of the Adventures of Tom Sawyer audio book cover which depicts Tom Sawyer’s name carved into a tree. Next to the iPad is a crochet hexagon with browns, beiges, and greens.

Finished Tom Sawyer on audio. Currently listening to The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, all so I can read James

Another hexagon done. I don’t usually read this much. I’m sure I will slow down as market season is approaching. It’s been nice to escape into a book lately 📚💙

#bookblanket #booksky

I usually approach it with denial, then procrastination, and then a stellar performance at the end mixed with copious amounts of stress. 😂

But that’s probably just me. 

Making Local Flyer with an orange background and 9 speckled brown circles in a 3x3 pattern. The text in white says “Making Local Markets, March 22nd 10 am - 4pm. A community event featuring 100+ small, local, handmade businesses. Downtown Bothell”

This Saturday we will be doing our first Making Local Market in Bothell rain or shine! Come to our first market of the season!

#makinglocalmarket #makinglocalmarketbothell #worldofwhimm #supportsmallbusiness #buylocal #getoutside

I had no idea what this book was about when I picked it up. Ended up really loving it. I am still thinking about the characters.

And another hexagon has been added. 📚💙

#crochethexagon #bookblanket #booksky #chemicalhearts

This will be our first time at this market. I am excited.

Market schedule for March for my business, World of Whimm. I will be at the Making Local Market on March 22nd and the Everett Farmers Market on March 23rd. Also pictured is my illustration of two worms in move in front of a rainbow.

Market season is upon us, sharing my March market schedule here too.

I still haven’t figured out how to completely get away from my instagram for online marketing.

Open to any pointers and suggestions. No FB or TT makes it even harder.
