They’ll say “Tell me about growing up,” and I’ll say, “The year I was seventeen, I had five best friends—a pixie, a president, a pretender, a puker, and a douchebag—and I was in love with all of them for different reasons. They’ll ask where, and I’ll tell them Otters Holt. They’ll know it. That place with the huge yellow doll statue? Yes, and huge Harvest Festival, I’ll say, and then I’ll stick out my chest and say, And I’m going back there.
THE HEXAGON from Dress Codes for Small Towns
commissioned by the wonderful @courtneycstevens herself! Book release is at August 22, 2017
So remember when I told you guys I’ll be busy with commissions? Well this is it! During the past month I’ve had the absolute honor and pleasure to work with Court as she commissioned yours truly to draw the main characters from her upcoming novel!
I got to read the book before its release to get to know these kids, and it’s a wonderful wonderful story about growing up, friendship, family, sexuality and self-acceptance. Seriously. I wished I’d read it as a teen. I highly recommend it, so you guys check it out, put it on your to-read lists, or better yet, pre-order!
You can pre-order the book here! Court is also having a promo give-away thingy for people who would RT at her Twitter!
