I plan to wear my Otto the Abominable Snow Dancer costume for some portion of these events, so if you are so inclined, feel free to show up in tutus, yeti / unicorn / mythical creature paraphernalia, glitter, onesies, etc.! (It would make me super happy 🥰🦄✨⛄)

Late night thoughts no. 7: Is a snake all neck or all leg? 🤔 #herpetology #conundrum #thoughts #insomnia

We are THREE WEEKS away from my debut picture book. Here's Part 2 of my Otto the Abominable Snow Dancer costume (the scarf!). This photo was shortly after my husband smacked me in the face. We were going for heroic wind swept vibes and the scarf floating elegantly behind me, but ALAS. #kidlitart

This is in fact my most boomer complaint.

I don't actually read for pleasure a lot. I adore picture books, analyzing them is rough. But I LOVE non fiction nature novels...it's a nature documentary in your head. A World on the Wing by Scott Weidensaul ♥️ 10/10 recommend. #birdmigration #avianecology #conservation

I haven't been on blue sky in a hot hour as I've been doing some thoughtful portfolio development and retooling my illustration point of view. Please enjoy this... #waybackwednesday #bird #kidlitart #coffee

Frog con is a free online convention where you can participate through discord, watching fun and educational panels on twitch, buying from frog artists in the virtual artist alley & more! Its even better the whole event is filled with love and respect for frogs & their importance in our world 🥹🐸

Late might thoughts no. 6: i just learned about tarsiers. What do you think it feels like being born with super hearing and night vision? How do they master hearing everything all the time? #tarsiers #cutelittleguys #mammals #adaptation

Grue...as opposed to like...idk..teal???

Late night thoughts no. 5: acknowledging the things that don't happen in a day seems easy. Considering the accumulation of things that didnt happen over a few decades is much harder. The mental health is low lately. #anxiety #decisions

I wish i liked more things so i could enjoy them simply and overlap. I like birds. Drawing birds. Painting birds. Making entire life stories for birds. Watching birds. Watching videos of other peoples birds. Learning about birds at fairs. Looking at bird taxidermy. See? #birds #hobby #life

Sept. 6 is International Vulture Awareness Day! By consuming carcasses, #vultures prevent the spread of deadly diseases. Their bald heads, super-strong stomach acid, and ability to process pathogens--even anthrax--make them perfectly adapted for that essential role.

Went to the Fiber Arts Festival in Salida, CO today. Who knew you could make yarn in so many ways and uhh...smells. The alpacas and sheep made themselves known! 🐑🦙🐐 If you use bird down...is it still a fiber?

Don't forget to check this out! #kidlitgn kidlitgn.com/2025/09/03/w...

I highly recommend this delightful documentary - two dudes (non-birders) decide to complete a big year (see as many birds as they can in a year) living out of a van. Wonderfully done. Free on youtube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zl-w...

An old color sketch for #kidlitartpostcard day. 🌷#art #illustration

Here is my illustration for this month's @scbwi.bsky.social prompt: "Mismatched". My inspiration for this month's prompt was the quote "Don't judge a book by its cover". What stories would this devious princess and sweet vampire tell? #scbwidrawthis #scbwiillustrators #scbwi #kidlitart

Late Night thoughts #4: if domestic cats are descendants of desert cats...why does my cat sound like someone stirring a jar of mayonnaise when he grooms himself? And why is it so loud?! #cats #desertcats #tooloud #moist #hygienic #latenights #nosleep

New level of gremlin unlocked! Pouring baking chocolate chips onto the kitchen table and eating them one by one. #lazy #gremlin #friday #tired #selfcare #amtreatingmyself #chocolatechips

I made some more #birds. This is an #endangeredspecies from #Hawaii. It's an #iiwi! #art #illustration #painting #birdnerd

I hear it is #NationalDogDay More doggos the better! #kidlit #kidlitart #illustration

Late night thoughts #3: my brain likes to give me 10 new picture book ideas, 5 new painting ideas (that I will never get to) a Titanic amount of self doubt and remember a pilates work out from 3+ years ago. 🫩 #artsyfartsy #creativelife #stahppp #nuerodiverse #sleepy

When it's nigh on #fallmigration and you some #birds that aren't supposed to be where they are in your scope 😂 #sandhillcranes in #Colorado in Chaffee County! Anyone else see them at Clear Creek Reservoir? #birding #uncommon #ebird #birdwatching

Late night thought: Why do I bother myself so much? That inner voice that isn't helpful! 😤 Sometimes it's #anxiety, #mentalhealth, or #pressure. I think this is what #selfcare means. Not just spa days and brownies 😅 building healthy #habits for longevity. Silly #pigeon #art.

As an author or writer, one of the hardest things for me is to get up and write early(5am), but it is also one of the best feelings to have when you are done writing for the day. - Wrtr #amwriting #Writing. ~Any extra writing during the rest of the day then just feels amazing. #author #writer

Oh to be tiny next to a big big fish. #KidLitArt #DigitalArt #Fish
