Q. How did you get roped into to illustrate for Razia and The Pesky Presents?
A. I’ve illustrated books for Duckbill previously, and books Natasha had written with other publishers. So, I knew I could be assured of a really fun book to illustrate considering what a good combination Duckbill and Natasha would make. I was sent the first draft to read and it was hilarious. I love making irreverent illustrations and there was immense potential for that in this title.
