One more character study. Not sure if he's singing or playing ball or both? Anyway I had fun with this pose. #singing #playing #kidlitart #picturebook

Another character study...a girl and her rabbits. #girl #rabbits #bunnies #picturebookart #kidlitart

I've been switching things up a bit lately. I love the old comic strips from the 20s and 30s and this is sort of a tribute to that. #comicstrips #picturebookart

The Bear and the Boy are characters I've been developing for awhile. Originally I was portraying them with an ink and wash look, but now trying different ways of drawing them. #boyandbear #picturebookart

A piece I did a while back to celebrate spring. This is a character I created with my nieces, Chuck the Duck.

In this extremely dark moment I'm going to try to take some comfort from Margot's contentment.

Hit home today that Elon’s zooming in to a rally of the German hard right to tell them to stop feeling bad about the past and embrace German glory was right before Holocaust Remembrance day.

If you went to college: 1. Career goal? 2. Initial major? 3. Did you switch majors? 4. Current occupation? 1. Animator for film 2. Graphic design 3. No 4. Illustrator + Video game animator

I haven't done one of these things in quite a while, but this gorgeous and fun illustration has inspired me, so I just had to give it a go! #crocband_dtyis #dtiys #drawthisinyourstyle #kidlitart #illustration @studiohoffmann.bsky.social

I actually started working on this a couple weeks ago...and then it felt a little too close to the bone. My critique group pals said I should post it anyways, so here it is... #2025
