It’s #kidlitartpostcard Day! I haven’t done one of these in years! I’m Layton, and I write and illustrate picture books! You can check out my work at www.laytonscarbroughart.com. I’m open to new projects and seeking representation! Thank you!

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard Day! I'm Layton, an author/illustrator based out of Virginia! I really enjoy creating fun characters and playing around with light and shadow! You can find more at laytonscarbroughart.com

I did this warm-up painting of SpiderGwen this morning! I have been focusing so much on picture book work that I haven't tried a piece of fan art in a long time. This was super fun!

Here's everything you need to know about the 2024 #PBParty contest for unagented PB writers & author/illustrators. We have 65 amazing agents, editors & art directors participating so far. It's going to be another epic year! The judges & I can't wait. mindyalyseweiss.com/2024-pbparty...

A Cozy Night In! ☕️☕️

Here is a caroling chipmunk on a well deserved cocoa break! Another nightly paint session on the iPad! Finally got all of the Christmas decorations up in the house! Feeling quite cozy!

Here’s a winter badger that I painted up on the ole iPad last night! I have been absolutely inspired by the work of Chris Dunn recently, so I channeled a little bit of him in this piece! Huge thanks to @mindyalyseweiss.bsky.social and @brianlarossa.com for getting so many kidlit peeps here!

Well, I’m here now! To commemorate the occasion, here is a mouse on an ornament. 😃
