Taken out by Noro, hence no art. Still recovering. Honestly I hate it and was just as bad as the 3x before. 1st in my early twenties curtesy of a baby cousin, once in my 30’s pregnant as a pediatric nurse from an outbreak at work. Now? No clue but highly suspecting our kids who only got the sniffles

E.C . Dove is venturing into our Cherry tree more often down from the Oak Tree. They quite like the temporary pumpkin 🎃 feeders I’ve been putting up and changing out. I know they are invasive but I hope they never leave - look at that face. #bird #dove 🪶

As a former Canadian Nurse I am appalled at this proposal by the USA department of Education. 20k cap for graduate nursing programs-Ridiculous. Nurse Practitioners are a solution to a health care crisis. This will penalize women and minorities as a majority. www.aacnnursing.org/news-data/al....

Resting Dragon Face - Halloween addition #rdf #restingdragonface #batdragon #beardeddragon

# PYI2025 Was more than I could have hoped for. I have never felt more supported, encouraged, inspired & proud. Feeling very grateful to be living in a country with such diverse, strong, brave risk takers willing to speak so bravely. The writings were impactful; meaningful. The artwork was beautiful

Woke up from a morning flight & jet lag & heard the welcoming sounds of my birthplace on repeat for an hour “dickhead” The clock hour chimes let me know. Dude is consistent & apparently there’s a dickhead in yyz be warned. Reminds me of this video from happy Gilmore youtu.be/mtZREHUMYKg?...

Leaving on a Jet Plane in less than 11.5hours. I once was a CSA West Jet employee back in my youth despite not liking airports or flying. I think I have all the art inspo from home I need to take. How many Golden & Beatrix potters books for colour refs is too many?! Comfy Shoes ☑️ #kidlit #kidlitart

I'll be volunteering again at #PYI2025 - here are my tips for the conference: * wear comfy shoes * bring a refillable bottle * BYOL Bring Your Own Lunch * Don't be afraid to ask questions because it shows the session presenters that you are paying attention #kidlit #CanKidLit

Packing for #pyi2025 today. Excited. Nervous. Feelings like I don’t belong creeping in and then pushing them back out just as fast as I can. I don’t call Toronto home anymore (since forever) but I’m coming home. Sorry dad, I can’t take you in my suitcase with me-he really wants to go; he said 3 x’s😅

1/3 My summary on my social media use. Things I almost posted tonight to other people’s #kidlitchat posts 1)I think I’m too weird for IG & what my brain thinks are funny connections with music are probably very lost on most people. I think I have a very specific audience; I’m good with that.

My picture book ABSOLUTELY NO WORRIES releases in two weeks! You can pre-order it wherever books are sold. You can also request it for purchase at your library. astrapublishinghouse.com/product/abso... #kidlit #books #picturebooks

A little late but fireworks are still going - Happy Diwali to all my neighbours, followers who celebrate and anyone who is choosing to let some light in this year #diwali 🪶 #boatmanorink #ink #illustration #kidlitart #sketchbook

Last day! Here until 4pm at Yachats Commons!

Birds I would like to see while in Toronto I haven’t seen since I was a child. 1)Blue Jay-sorry west coast Stellars. Your goofy Mohawks and pointy beaks looks like confused teens that just woke looking 👀 for their misplaced acorn. 2)Cardinal- we just don’t get them out here. Any others? 🪶 #jays

Artists! Quote with your long hair ~~

I’m presenting at @canscaip.bsky.social PYI ! There’s still time to register for the in-person or online conference! #kidlit #kidlitart

I wanted to start a new sketch today but couldn’t quite start it yet. I took some inspiration pictures and video I might post later. Instead practicing inking this old sketch of an original character and setting I made up for my portfolio. Also ink water is disgusting 🤢 #wip #art #kidlitart #ink

Starting where I left off yesterday Think I’m going to leave these sketchbook crows. It was fun playing with all the mediums. I think I like where it went and was happy I saw @crystalsmithart.bsky.social sky to inspire me to add some life to my sky-Liven things up :) #art #illustration #kidlitart 🪶

Inktober Day 16: “Blunder.” Over halfway through the month! #inktober #inktober2025 #comics #cartoon #drawing

Any recommendations on good Luggage that you can go out and buy in Canada? I’m still using what I used at 18 and my partner suggested maybe it’s time for an upgrade and I can’t use his since we will be overlapping conferences by one day. This is insane. Who are ? #travel #luggage #advice #canada

Morning warm up. Giving quills and India ink a go for my morning warmup. I normally just use micron pens. I have to admit I like them but still scared of them. #sketchbook #wip #ink #birdart #crowart

I am so excited for #PYI2025 I’ve never been to an in person conference. SCWBI virtual conferences are great! But I really wanted to attend a conference for writers & illustrators in Canada. I can’t believe I’m coming home to Toronto. It’s been a long time. Like a loooooong time. #kidlit

Sketchbook warmup before I get back to inking page 5 of BOAT manor my venture into this bird and fairy world and a process to really learn and push myself as an artist. #birds #birdart #ink #birdtober 🪶 #birdillustration #wildlifeart #kleinekunstklasse #illustration #kidlitart

🪶 #birdsky Quention for the BC YVR birding community or if anyone knows. Does anyone know where the winter roosting site is for the Surrey Fraser Valley Crows in Aldergrove? Our crows definitely are flying SE this year and not to the Stillcreek and Burnaby roosts.

Bertie got an upgrade in the #sketchbook today #characterdevelopment #birdcomic #birdillustration #crowillustration #boatmanorink #ink #traditionalart

#kidlitchat I think I have always been a child of fall. I’m born in mid fall. Halloween is on par, if not better than Xmas for me. My current personal project I’m working on is a traditional inked comic about Faries and Birds-starts in fall and will follow the seasons for a year Ending back at fall

Hey #portfolioday! I'm a comic artist and colourist who's worked for OniPress, Harper Alley and a bunch of indie projects. And ff you're looking for help on a kickstarter project, I've run 3 and am great with promotion 👽
