Happy #kidlitartpostcard Day! I’m an author/ illustrator of #picturebooks and #middlegrade looking to sail into my next project. #Artdirectors #Editors

Friendly reminder that it’s #kidlitartpostcard this Thursday. We should make a hashtag where people share dummies. #kidlitdummies? First Wednesday of the month? Who wants to run it?

@zainabzk.bsky.social Scrolling through my photos, I found an interesting image of my friend and talented #picturebook author, Zainab Khan. We first met at the Gold Coast book fair last year where she read NOURA’S CRESCENT MOON, and I read MAYA’S TREASURE . #watercolor #pastelpencil #procreate

This #watercolor was inspired by my friend and incredibly talented author, Francesca Padilla. Her novel, What’s Coming To Me, is brilliant. #illustration

I spent Sunday painting. I started out doing a #watercolor and ended up with a bit of mixed media. It was fun to play and get out of my head. I spent too much time there. #pastelpencil #acrylicpen #hydrangeas

Playing with watercolor and colored pencil. #flowers #watercolor #Faber-Castell pencils

It was such a joy participating in #WRAD Sharing MAYA'S TREASURE with young readers at Sunrise Elementary was fun. 1st, 3rd and 5th graders had LOTS of questions about the process of writing and illustrating a picture book. They certainly keep you on your toes! #kidlit #kidlitart #writingcommunity

Here’s my entree for this years #50PreciousWords contest. Thank you @viviankirkfield.bsky.social for hosting this wonderfully creative challenge!

Always a joy to enter #50PreciousWords then read all the wonderful entries!

See a hug, post a hug! #kidlitart #kidlit

Maya Angelou's words have had a profound impact on me since my early 20's. In honor of #BlackHistoryMonth, I began working on this, not realizing the significance it would have these last few days. #BlackHistoryMonth #digitalart #digitalillustration #kidlitart

I’m finding it hard to write at the moment, but I can still draw when my emotions get the better of me. #theseeker #digitalart #picturebookillustration

Wishing you magic and light this holiday season!

Share your blue illustration #Kidlitart #art #illustration

The one thing I’m certain of this morning #kidlit is that books matter more than ever.

If you see this, post your purple art 💜 #kidlitart #kidlit

I can’t put into words how much joy it brings me meeting young readers. What a fun day reading and signing books at the Children’s Book Expo at the Copiague Memorial Library! #kidlit #middlegrade #picturebooks #readmorebooks

Happy #PortfolioDay I’m an author and #kidlit illustrator of playful, heartfelt moments. I love combining traditional and digital art.

Yesterday was #pi day, but seriously…who’s keeping track? #kidlit #kidlitart

😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

Writing & illustrating are solitary activities but trying to get published doesn't have to be. This is NOT a competitive sport. Support each other, pay it forward. Give good karma and trust that it will come back to you someday.

Happy #kidlitartpostcard Thursday! I can’t share my new work, (it’s under wraps,) but I thought I’d share one of my favorite digital illustrations. Because birds are meant to fly! #Kidlitart #artdirectors

I can’t help but smile! My dear friend donated a copy of MAYA’S TREASURE (Peter Pauper Press)to the Waycross Public Library in Georgia. I am so touched by this beautiful gesture! I hope everyone who reads Maya’s story will be inspired to find the beauty in even the smallest things!🙏 #kidlit #pbbooks

@deck.blue my profile page is frozen. Can’t see any of my posts. What happened?

Well, apparently my PB book, Maya’s Treasure (retail price $16.99) is going for $170!  Quite the mark-up! I don’t know whether to be angry or flattered! 😂

@neilhimself.neilgaiman.com I almost missed your birthday kind sir! Hope it was lovely!
