Octavio is here to remind you that next Saturday, May 2 at 11am is our next big signing event, and our first on the west/north sides of the metro area. Please join us at Boulder Bookstore on Pearl Street for a reading, and signing, and books, and stickers, and an all-around great time!

Some more experimentation. This time the paper was very naughty, and as a result the background isn't at all what I hoped for. Cute monk parakeet though.

Starting up the habit again… obviously a little obsessed by after our Silver Bank trip.

This one gets its own post; I'm really happy with the way it turned out. from a photo I took last fall on a in .

I took a set of with me on the magical whale watching boat trip, and I've been experimenting since I got back as well. Here are a few of the sketches I've been doing!

With April right around the corner, I thought I'd remind everyone about a big Octavio event coming up at the beginning of May! At Boulder Bookstore on Saturday, May 2nd at 11am, I'll be doing a reading and signing. Please let your friends know, especially those in the Boulder or NW Denver Metro areas! This is going to be a fun one.

Instead of my regular sheet, here's a bunch of Troll Olympics athletes on little scraps of chipboard.

Happy day!
My name is Dustin, I'm an illustrator and author of children's books, and my debut picture book Octavio is on shelves now! I'm available for illustration work, and I have many stories to share. Cheers!

It's always fun to get fan art! Some coloring sheets that some young readers insisted be sent to me 😁
