Cut paper creations from a card making party tonight. So great to make art and eat cookies with friends! #cutpaper #picturebook #picturebooks #illustration #kidlit

I created this for the @thecatagency.bsky.social dream project promo. I would love to illustrate a picture book of the George Harrison classic All Things Must Pass. This song and album have meant a lot to me over the years. #kidlit #illustration

I intended on finishing this one yesterday, but hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Turkeys are like drawing modern dinosaurs. #kidlit #picturebook

This was created for this month’s @the_cat_agency prompt with a “Water” theme. It made me think of the Loch Ness Monster (or a plesiosaur). #waterdragon #plesiosaur #lochness #waterdrawing #illustration #kidlit #childrensbooks #picturebook
