My newest mini comic, The Pineapple Pirates, is now available in the shop! You can see a behind-the-scenes video of how I put this together on my Instagram page.
           Thank you to everyone who attended The Sleep Catcher Book Release & Signing at the Novel Neighbor in Webster Groves! We were blown away by your support.
The Sleep Catcher is a captivating wordless tale about a young girl's quest to fall asleep. The book takes place in St. Louis and has pictures of many landmarks from our city. The Sleep Catcher story was created by Za Goodbrake, and illustrated by Melissa Rohr. It can now be purchased on The Inky Octopus and Amazon.  A Swim in the River Story Book by Melissa Rohr I wanted to share a few photos of my newest story book, A Swim in the River. This book was commissioned by my aunt for her grandson - how fun! I enjoyed creating a picture book featuring life within a river, through watercolor illustrations.
Throughout this book, follow the story of a little fish and his daily journey through a stream. Meet all of the other creatures the fish encounters on his trip! This illustrated story book allows a young reader to engage with a narrative and come up with his or her own words while looking through the pages. View this book in my shop, and on Amazon! 
Here's a couple of pages from the next two coloring books I'm working on: a Woodland Coloring Book & a Creatures of the Water Coloring Book.

The coloring book and quite a few new illustrations will be debuting at the RAW event TRANSLATIONS. Here's a few pages of a new coloring book I'm working on.
 My new Octopus Coloring Book! The second book in my collection of coloring books. (You can see the first here.) It will be available from The Inky Octopus and Amazon soon!
Update: you can now find the Octopus Coloring Book on Amazon and The Inky Octopus!  I am excited to announce that a selection of my work is now available at The Heirloom Room! This fun shop is located in Antique Row on Cherokee Street in downtown St. Louis, and it features a beautifully curated selection of home decor, furniture, gifts and local art. Some of my favorite items included adorable handmade plush elephants and fun animal napkin rings.
