It's #kidlitpostcard day! I love drawing friendly monsters and beasts of all sizes. When I was younger I'd share my achievements with imaginary friends (or more accurately: characters I have created). I have no representation yet since I am quite new to all this! #kidlitart #art #illustration

A pocket-sized deer (2021) (I realize that I was bad at drawing hands; what's worse, I didn't get any better at it since then.)

I love the @archive.org. I was going to write a post about how I use it for looking for kids books that inspire me but honestly I use it for everything these days. Research, entertainment, references for art, etc. It's literally having a library at your own home. It's awesome.

A warm wool sweater on a chilly day can make you much less prone to headbutting #art #goat

This picture is also from 2021. I looked through my folder with pictures from that period; there are a few good ones, I think I'll repost them here because they weren't posted at Bluesky anyway.

I've been falling asleep to 1990's Moomin and it's so nice to revisit it. There's really nothing quite like it. Being American, I didn't grow up with the show but it found me when I was in my early 20's and yet it feels like I've known these characters since childhood right next to Little Bear.

im sorry i kept visualizing it

I'm very excited for one of my silly drawings to look a little too thicc and then my account gets falsely flagged as NSFW

I love this shape for characters

Do you think Tapirs snack on day-dreams?

What's an album you like to listen to in its entirety each time? Mine is Pink Floyd's The Wall. A horrible miserable journey that never fails to entertain me.

My two little fellas that I've been doodling since 2020. #art #goat #aardvark

The artist walks among the flowers Appreciating the sun He does this all his waking hours But is it really so wrong?

Gosh, I love aardvarks so much. #art #aardvark

“Comforting is what we toys do. And it’s the best job on the planet.” I've always had a soft spot for stuffed animals. When I first learned about "pocket bears," designed to fit into the breast pocket of a soldier’s uniform, I was so struck that I decided to write a whole book about them. 💛🧸 #mglit

I found my pocket watercolour palette so I painted this little awestruck pig #art #pig #watercolour

Happiness

Was waiting on food at a restaurant for far too long so I sketched this silly little fellow #art #dragon

I did this recently. Ozy model sheet!

I love sequential art like comics and stuff but the amount of self restraint it takes not to turn every panel into an illustration is abysmal
