#VeggieKids finale. Strawberry, Blueberry, and Banana kids

More #VeggieKids Broccoli and Onion Kids

The #VeggieKidsSeries was inspired by a teacher posting that a student wanted to be a pineapple when they grew up. I kept going with other fruits and vegetable costumes. #kidlitart #picturebookillustration #childrensbookillustration #chapterbookillustration

Another odd job, Dragon Tooth Brusher. Seems like a pretty scary job! @kidlitart_drawing_challenge #kidlitart #childrensbookillustration #dragonart

"It's a transnational crime syndicate masquerading as a government." "They Knew" - READ IT

That's 100% why I created leavesubstack.com -- got tired of re-hashing the points; wanted to make a simple 1-pager.

Happy Valentine’s Day! One of the many pieces featuring Cody ❤️ #valentineart #picturebookillustration

Valentine's Day is a good day to celebrate friendship, too. #chapterbookillustration #picturebookillustration #valentineart

I watched a lot of old reruns as a kid, including I Love Lucy. When I saw Jellybean Sorter on the @kidlitart_drawing_challenge I knew just what to do. #kidlitart #picturebookillustration #animalart

Growing up I watched old re runs like I Love Lucy. When I saw Jellybean Sorter in the @kidlit_drawing_challenge, I thought of the candy factory scene with a Lucy & Ethel ❤️ Such a classic!! The list has so many fun jobs! Can’t wait to draw some more! #kidlitart #picturebookillustration #animalart

TOUCHDOWN!!!!! Football Bunny for the win! (6 of 6) Unlike the previous illustrations, I painted this in gouache then drew the lines in Procreate. I want to experiment more like this. #childrensbookillustration #picturebookillustration #animalfootball

Football Bunny soars over Rhino's attempted tackle. Watch those horns! (5 of 6) #childrensbookillustration #picturebookillustration #animalfootball

This little piggy is no match for Football Bunny! (4 of 6) #picturebookart #childrensbookillustration #animalfootball #footballchildrensillustration

This bunny knows how to handle an elephant! We probably won't see that at the Super Bowl this weekend. (3 of 6) #picturebookart #childrensbookillustration #animalfootball #footballchildrensillustration

Gearing up for the Super Bowl here and continuing from yesterday's post. This bunny is unstoppable! (2 of 6) #picturebookart #childrensbookillustration #animalfootball #footballchildrensillustration

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
