I have been thoroughly convinced I need to draw Rore tiger again with my 29 year old art abilities! As soon as I have some free time, it's happening!

Did you see the sculpture someone made of the fan art I made of your little rore tiger? What a delight.

I just located it!!! INCREDIBLE!

How the cover of "Renegades" was created. I asked the HarperCollins team if I could make this video since there was so much excitement online about the art, and they kindly said yes! As a Warriors kid, this was my honor!

Mama and Baby Dragon My new artbook "Modern Dragons" is on Kickstarter for 11 more days!

Name change!

I have just made this profile consistent with the rest of my social media profiles, and to make sure I also lock down my professional name. As an author, I feel like I should use the name that's on my books for clarity. A bit sad but worthwhile I think! Also should cause less confusion, as sometimes people worry I am stealing Devin Elle Kurtz's art (thanks for looking out, guys!)

For those asking for context on the Rore art, I have very little as my parents don’t remember this project at all, but it’s from some school project I did in approximately first grade that involved rhyming. I did flip/stack the tiger art for the post. Originally, for some reason, I drew the roar backwards, which is kind of cute and I should have left that as-is. I really lost steam by the dinosaur drawing.

For those saying it’s fake, idk what to tell you except it’s not and I promise I have much better and more efficient ways of getting attention on the internet than making fake childhood art. I’m a little honored you think I could come up with something so whimsical at age 29 though

How long will the Kickstarter campaign be available to back? I want so many things but have to budget first 😭

The Kickstarter will be live for 25 more days! And I am currently working with my team to make the open edition of the book available after the campaign too - it may take 6-12 months but we are hoping to get it listed online.

Hello,

I love your book "The Dragon Bakery" and wanted to get a copy for my little one. Since english is not my native language and I live in a non english speaking country I looked for a translated version. I found a spanish one and wanted to ask if you know of plans to translate it into other languages?

Hello there! The Bakery Dragon is currently translated into Thai, French, Spanish, and Catalan. Polish, Greek, and a UK localization are coming soon. Hopefully more languages will be added in the future! I don’t have any control over it as it comes down to local publishers desiring to translate them, but if you have a favorite local publisher, you’re more than welcome to send them a message that you’d love to see them translate my books! :)

i was compelled by your cover art posts then saw you drew the bakery dragon and felt compelled tonsend an ask. im going on anon so i dont doxx myself

i work in a barnes & noble. my name is ember (they/them) and dragons are a huge part of my personality (i have multiple tattoos). when the bakery dragon came out, my coworkers immediately made the connection and had me look at it. i fell in love immediately. its such a fun story withan adorable ending and the art is GORGEOUS. i cannot express enough how much i love the art. it makes me feel good looking at it. the shapes and colors and shading all just click in my mind nicely. its just so RAHH.

i also love that the dragon is a boy. it feels a little affirming that my chosen name isnt gendered bc i usually see girls with it.

but yeah. i love your art and this book is so precious to me. i love recommending it to people. it reminds me why i work with books in the first place.

This is such a wonderful message, thank you so much! It really means a lot to me. I am so happy that my books have brought you some joy! That's all I can ever ask for as an author!
