Hard times don’t stop those who persist. With optimism and resilience, Alejandra Franco overcame limited internet access in Coachella Valley and paved a pathway to her dreams.

Throughout the making of LOVE, CHINATOWN we could feel how deeply it resonated with the Boston Chinatown community. With the support of incredible storytellers Cynthia and Gwen, director Lukas Dong captured a story rooted in authenticity, care, and a genuine love for the neighborhood—qualities helped lead to this BAAFF Audience Award win. It was an honor to premiere the film at BAAFF, and to share this story firsthand with the community at its heart. Congratulations again to @loookahs , @cyn_yee19 , @gwen.liu , Oxford Properties, and the rest of the filmmaking team, as well as a huge thank you to everyone who voted for the film. 💛

As we turn the page on a fun filled spooky season it’s important to remember what it’s all for. Thank you to everyone who took time to like, share, and maybe even purchase a copy of @when.the.lights.go.out.book . Every little bit of support means the world to indie author/illustrators like me and @pollolec . See you next year 🎃👻🧛‍♂️

When I discovered @procreate for illustration it was like opening Pandora’s box. I had a lot of fun experimenting with different brushes and layering techniques but I also realized multiple times I was going about it all wrong 😅 I gave up more times than I can count but ultimately the final straw was having a daughter of my own and realizing I wanted to be somebody who finishes things they start. So that’s what I did! I’m still no pro, but I wound up finding the look for @when.the.lights.go.out.book that our readers and I both love! In case you’re curious, I go with the water brush in complimentary purple and orange for the background and the technical pen over the top in varying layers and opacities for the book’s many wonderful Halloween themed characters and scenery. Winning a @moonbeamawards Bronze medal for Holiday Children’s Book is a beautiful candy corn on top of what’s been a hugely rewarding writing, illustrating, and self publishing journey! If you order your book today, you should still get it in time for Halloween! Link in bio 🎃

For any author or illustrator, the first moment you get your hands on a physical copy of your book is a special one. @palmettopublishing did such a great job helping @pollolec and @itsnickwright get WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT to print. Now comes the fun part of getting it into the hands of readers everywhere. Support indie authors!

Illustrating WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT on @procreate was an incredible learning experience—Such a powerful program. While this is the first Timelapse I’m posting, it was one of the last pages I illustrated. More to come! #halloween #spooky #timelapse #digitalillustration #picturebook #indiebooks #storytime #whenthelightsgoout #wtlgo #boo #skeleton
