No longer attending the Niagara Conference & Retreat this May

Heads-up for those attended the Niagara Conference & Retreat: Not enough illustrators signed up for the event, so the conference has decided to drop that part of the programming. Disappointed but still excited for those attending -- I'm sure it's going to be a wonderful event! I've posted an update about the Niagara Conference in my Inkygirl blog.

Stop-motion experiments via Vine

I've recently become fascinated with Vine, which strikes me as a cross between Twitter and YouTube. If you're on Vine, feel free to follow me at "Debbie Ohi." '

Here are a few of my early experiments (click on any Vine animation to pause):

Photographic evidence that squirrels ARE out to get me...

It's official! I'm illustrating RUBY ROSE books by Rob Sanders (HarperCollins)

Daily Doodle: "I Won't Eat You, I Promise"

Daily doodle ("I Promise I Won't Eat You") created with Pentel Pocket Brush (ink lines), Winsor & Newton watercolor, very cheap brush, sketchbook paper provided by Autodesk Sketchbook (Febtor event swag).
