Happy Kid Lit Art Postcard day! This piece was illustrated with my daughter, Alice in mind. She has that exact bunny that she’s slept with since she was old enough to have a stuffy in her crib with her. Plus it’s fun to spot all of the bunnies! 🐇 #kidlitart #kidlitartpostcardday #kidlitpostcard

✨Happy September!✨🧡🦊🧶 #kidlitart #helloseptember #september #illustration

Had to try drawing an elephant rolling down a hill recently which felt extremely challenging. Ended up being one of my favorite poses to draw! #kidlitart #kidlitillustration

I penciled in sketches with my favorite pencil in Carmine Red, then traced over it with a red ink fountain pen. This combo really scratched something in my brain. What’s your favorite sketchbook tool combo? #sketchbook #kidlitart #artsupplies open.substack.com/pub/theprimr...

A peek into what I’m working on right now. We are doing a 1920s theme and her in my Patreon and I love how this illustration is coming together. She looks like a vintage paper doll. #artist #characterart #illustration #illustrator #1920s

A Shimmy a Day Keeps the Sadness Away! My submission for SCWBI ‘Dance’ Prompt for May. I Illustrated this in response to the TikTok trend which is a bunch of wholesome dancing to a remix of “there she goes” and it brightens my day every single time it comes up in my feed! #scwbidrawthis

Happy Hourly Comic Day! I'm going to try posting as many hourly drawings as I can. Here is what I did at 8am. :) #hourlycomicday #hourlycomicsday #sketch

Almost done with reading Onyx Storm. She literally just said “we’re cooked” what is this Gen Alpha? There are so many little moments like this in the book that just throws me out of the story. 🫠 #booksky #fourthwing #onyxstorm

Pajama Party Sketches 🤍 These were so fun to illustrate! I gave them all a valentines vibe since we’ve got that coming up faster than I am ready for. Fully rendered versions are available as downloads for my Patreon members. #artsky #sketches #illustration

I just finished reading “The Will of the Many” by James Islington. I loved it but I was really confused by the ending. If you know what’s going on feel free to send me a DM 😂 #booksky

SUPPORT LIBRARIES!! #Booksky 📚💙

Books are the only thing keeping me sane these days

Don’t stop — be reading. Hold on to that feeling.

Did a little illustration for folk tale week! The prompt was mist 💛 #folktaleweek2024 #folktaleweekmist

Mister Rogers Advice is what still keeps me going. Even when everything seems like it's falling apart. #misterrogers

I'm very into books and reading and apparently my art is too. Just some fun doodles that may be becoming sticker sheets soon #books
