Illustration of four stylized axolotls playing underwater. One rests gently on the bottom looking at a cute orange copopod. One has a dancing vibe. One is showing the dancing friend a cool plant. One is nuzzling another copopod. The water is green, loose moss floats about. The axolotls are various shades of pink and yellowy beige with bright pink and orange gills. Art by Gina Perry

A digital illustration of people spending time in a pool: A man with sunglasses is happily lounging by the pool chairs. Next to him is a lady in a yellow coordinate and a big hat sitting up observing the children by the pool. A girl in a pink swimsuit is sitting at the edge of the pool and cheering on her brown dog who's swimming to her from the other side of the pool. A boy in the pool is shielding himself as a girl who appears to be his sister is splashing water to him. Another boy is in a pink floatie observing the siblings.

I can't believe How To Talk To Your Succulent is nominated for Outstanding Story (what!!!!) for the legendary Ignatz Awards with SPX! I'm so honored Succulent is included with such talented company. I'm still trying to wrap my head around it!
