Four of the five Pendy siblings stayed put in my head long enough for me to sketch them. So, for everyone reading the Manleigh Cheese ebooks, or are following along in Part 2, these are the faces I see when I write these stories. I hope you enjoy them.

Here’s an illustration she did for Brutalian (a zine that went under not too long ago).
