After about 5 years of working without lineart I have this sudden yearning to illustrate with lineart again

The true reason why the drive-through lines are so long

This book by @devinellekurtz.bsky.social was at the toy shop I went to and I couldn't resist! I knew I needed it in my collection eventually, and I love it! The illustrations are so warm and beautiful, and it's a lovely touching story!

I love being a human artist and creating something never before seen, out of my mind’s eye. I love making every decision with care. I love trying and failing. I love noticing mistakes and fixing them. I love it all.

The Spanish edition of “The Bakery Dragon” comes out April 4! 🥐 ¡La edición en español de “El Dragón Panadero” sale el 4 de abril! 🥖

I painted this cover art for the new Avatar art-book!

Announcing my fourth illustrated picture book "Seven Ways Through the Woods" written by Jenn Reese!

Huge thanks for the support you guys! I should mention that preorders matter a LOT for books — if you think you or a little one in your life would enjoy this sequel, it would mean a lot of you pre-ordered! 🎂PRE-ORDER LINK🎂 www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/737432...

Now that the second book is announced I can say that working on a sequel was actually MORE STRESSFUL for me than working on the first book in a series 😭 Because book 2 needs to be not only as good as book 1, but hopefully BETTER!!!

Our little dragon is getting a SERIES!!! This has been quite the secret to keep! "The Bakery Dragon and the Fairy Cake" comes out 10/7 of this year! 🍰

Feeling a lot of complicated emotions about Google now listing me as an author instead of an illustrator!

LA friends, if you’ve lost your home, I’m so sorry. In case it helps, here’s some stuff I wish I’d known: 1. Make detailed contemporaneous notes about every conversation you have with your insurance company.
