This is a weird time to have good news, but I have good news! This story has been 7 years in the making, and it's finally going to make its way out into the world as a real live children's picture book! It should hit the shelves in Spring 2026, and be available everywhere!
Upcoming
OCTAVIO events!
Follow me everywhere @reschasketch for the latest updates!

It’s important to me to focus on the belief and hope that we can make the world better instead of worse. But I also want to remember to appreciate the good that is already here, and that is what inspired this piece. Happy Monday, hang in there everyone! #kidlitart @EastWestLit
Finally calling this all finished. An #octopus #oilpainting based on a still from my first ever night dive in 2017 in Cozumel.

Live sketching the wonderful #pandas at @smithsonianzoo before they go back to China. Great zoo trip despite the absurd heat :)

Professor Stan Yan @zombicatures talking about my project for his wonderful Graphic Novel Boot Camp class at @CuddlefishAcad cuddlefishacademy.com . I recommend it highly, he's a great instructor and explainer with some of the best critique skills around.
My friend @reschasketch created this comic with the help of my #graphicnovel bootcamp #artclass at the @CuddlefishAcad. #kidlitart more info at cuddlefishacademy.com

It seems easier to post it myself from Tumblr than look at other people posting it and telling them that, yes, it's real.
ALT Q:Some of your books make it seems like you believe in actual literal magic, do you? () A: I can write down a few words and make people thousands of miles away, whom I have never met and will never meet, laugh tears of joy and cry tears of true sorrow for people who do not exist and have never existed and never will exist. If that isn't actual literal magic I don't know what is.
Cheers to @rogueclown and their ever-increasing trivia dominance! Love you Rowan!
