As promised, this week I’ll be talking a little bit about the Land of Oz’s ruler, Queen Ozma, and her role in my story. Fair warning, this post is about to get very nerdy. You’ve been warned! The Land of Oz is a governed by a Monarchy, and despite the fact there are different regions …

Oz Update #2
Ok for this week’s Oz Update, I’ll be reviewing some of the important details I’ve read, and tell you a little bit about the land of Oz. Notes When Dorothy lands in Oz for the first time, it is not Glinda who meets her, but the Witch of the North. Which is confusing, because in …

Red Riding Hood Typography
A few people have mentioned that it looks like the creators of the movie “Red Riding Hood” stole the typography from my Little Red Riding Hood illustrations. While this is entirely hilarious and untrue. I thought I’d do a quick (and biased) analysis of the two to highlight some similarities and differences. Red Riding Hood …
