Off to New Zealand for nine months to sketch seabirds! I've been awarded a Fulbright-Nat Geo Storytelling Fellowship to write and illustrate stories about seabird conservation for National Geographic. Just finished a week at Nat Geo HQ in Washington, DC, where I presented my project and got trained. My four fellow Fellows are headed to Mexico, Chile, Kyrgyz Republic, and Taiwan.

Stay tuned for more info.

Zee and the Trout Lily

/

Zee and this ant are waiting for the trout lily to finish developing a seed, because attached to that seed will be a little snack. The ant will take the seed home, feed the snack to the baby ants, and throw the rest in the compost pile—a nice place for a new trout lily to grow. (Zee, who already has an ample supply of snacks, is just here for the show.)

More Adventures of Zee!
