After much angst I have added my hand painted abstract ornaments & 5x7 original abstracts to my Etsy Shop! I've poured my heart into these mini works of art & hope you love them as much as I do. May they bring you the same joy they brought me! #holidayornament #christmasornament

we don't *need* "AI" to mass-produce novels, we already have James Patterson

To publishers, authors, & others posting about illustrated books, including covers that have illustration: Please credit the ILLUSTRATOR. This not only helps boost the illustrator, but also shows that you value HUMAN illustrators. #PicturesMeanBusiness

I'm really wishing I had a dog. It's not practical for us right now, so I'm drawing dogs instead. It's fun, but you can't cuddle a drawing 😭 Anyway, here are some festive pups. #dogillustration #kidlitillustration #picturebookillustration

Santa Baby! For the #merrymelodies2025 challenge #artchallenge #picturebookillustration #christmasillustration

Cody would have never sat in the snow. He was not into being cold. He inspired me so much and I miss him. #christmaschihuahua #chihuahua #christmasillustration

A friend of mine asked me to create some portraits of her adorable little grandchild. Of course I said yes!!! Drawing babies is the best thing ever!! #cuteportrait #portrait #kidlitart #picturebookillustration #kidlitillustration

I miss my kids being babies sometimes. If I could time travel, I'd go back for some cuddles, but I also love who they are now. Now I draw babies because they are just so dang adorable and my drawings don't need their diapers changed. #kidlitart #picturebookart #babyart #catart

Frog vs. Alligator. Who will win? My bet is on the frog. She looks like she'd be able to handle herself. #kidlitart #picturebookart #chapterbookart

I’m not sure those floaties will keep a baby t-Rex afloat. Pretty sure t-rexes couldn’t swim with those tiny arms. Continuing my #characterdesign practice with dinosaurs. They’re a staple in kidlit, but not something I’ve drawn much of. #kidlitart #picturebookart #dinosaur

A contemplative chick on this rainy day. I draw chickens all the time, but I’ve never drawn a baby one until now. It’s nice to try new things. #kidlitart #picturebookart #farmanimalart

Is there anything more amazing than a baby’s first steps? I don’t think so, but drawing babies is a close second. #kidlitart #picturebookart #boardbook #babydrawing

Day 5 #Characterdesign series — the chat. One of the things I love about illustrating characters is the relationships and interactions they have with each other. I red to give my characters a story to make it interesting. #picturebookart #kidlitart

Call! Call! Call! Help them find their backbone.

Day 4 Character Design series. This future star is ready for the spotlight accompanied by her back up singer. #kidlitart #picturebookart #kidlit #characterdesign

Day 3 Character Design series. I remember how frustrated my youngest would get when trying to eat ice cream when they were little. It always melted too fast or fell off the cone. Luckily, little dogs are very effective cleaners of messes. #kidlitart #picturebookart #kidlit #characterdesign

Occasionally I do family portraits for people in a cartooned way — it’s a fun alternative to photography if you’re thinking of hiring someone for this kind of service. This is a crew from whom I bought our new old Land Cruiser (they happened to be art fans, so we worked a partial trade).

Day 2 of my character design series. This is fun!! #characterdesign #kidlitart #picturebookillustration #chapterbookillustration
