The landing. Never as easy as you might imagine. I think it’s because we are so focused on the departure and the place we’re headed to that we rarely consider what it’s going to be like when we return.

In July, we came home after 11 months of living somewhere else. A month long book tour, some time with family in North Carolina, and nine months in Spain(!) where I finished work on the final book in the trilogy. I knew that our life schedule wasn’t going to normalize until school started (yay kindergarten!) so I gave myself a project that would get me back to the drawing board. The seasons have always been important for me; the sensory overload of Fall, the joy of Spring, the long days of Summer. And when I moved from Baltimore to California for college, I became even more aware of how much these seasonal changes provided an internal calendar for my creative output.

I remember Calvin and Hobbes’ creator Bill Watterson would always paint these lovely season-themed spots in his comic compendiums and so I thought - why not?! So here they are: the four seasons à la Journey. I hope you enjoy them!
