I found a face in my watermelon!

I love creating found object doodles and post them on Instagram, "Found Object Art" gallery on Flickr, Pinterest, Tumblr  and in my Found Object Art portfolio.

Tour of my studio, a Dirty Dozen, NAKED! giveaway and heading off to SCBWI-LA

Thanks to Andrea Skyberg for including my creative studio in her Tuesday Studio Tour blog post series! My studio isn't nearly as beautiful or well-organized or sunlit as others I've seen posted online, but I love it nonetheless. :-)

Thanks to Open Book Toronto for asking me to contribute 12 Unexpected Facts about myself.

And thanks to WeeWelcome and Simon & Schuster Canada for putting together a NAKED! book giveaway. Just two weeks left to enter!

I'm off to the 2014 SCBWI Summer Conference in Los Angeles tomorrow. I'll be livetweeting from @DebbieOhi (my personal chatty account, as opposed to @inkyelbows for my regular kidlit/YA posts), and will be back on Tuesday. Hope to see some of you there!

Dinner doodle using a Pentel Pocket Pen Brush

I've gotten in the habit of carrying around a bundle of index cards wherever I go.

Don't ask me what this doodle's about; I have no idea. :-)

Morning doodle: Minecraft Story

Morning doodle: "Minecraft story." The first time I encountered an Enderman in Minecraft, I freaked out -- SO SCARY! But here's one who's not. I didn't want to have to draw all those little squares on the Minecraft block, so scooped it from the Minecraft site and added some charcoal bits.
