Happy Father's Day! Happy World Giraffe Day! And happy start of summer!! My art of a big giraffe and baby giraffe from a while ago seemed appropriate for the day! I hope these two bring a smile today! #kidlitart #giraffe #FathersDay #WorldGiraffeDay #Summer #CuteAnimals

Done! Book 2 of Sheldon the Sheltie's adventures, art & design has been sent to my client for final approval. This has been such a fun adventure! I started sketches when NY was piled up w/snow and finished while sweating in the heat of summer. I will miss Sheldon and Davie! #kidlitart #illustrator

I was planning a big push putting a bunch of new artwork up on Redbubble, but they've put several of my pieces, which had already been avail., on review after I changed tags & descriptions. I'm frustrated & looking for other sources for online galleries for sales. Any suggestions? Thanks! #artist

This is your cue to switch over to Libro.fm for your audiobooks if you haven't already done that - support indie bookstores!

Coloring has begun! Stay tuned for more summer fun! #paintplay #sequentialart #kidlitartist #illustrator

"There is no rule on how to write. Sometimes it comes easily and perfectly; sometimes it's like drilling rock and then blasting it out with charges." —Ernest Hemingway

✨ Writing Prompt ✨ Send your main antagonist to an art gallery. Describe where they are. How do they feel when they see their favorite piece of art? What is it? What do you want this piece to say about them? #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity

Up this week for #PaintPlay fun. New port pieces (maybe RL PCs) with new sequential art to demonstrate to #kidlit Art Directors my skills w/consistency & storytelling in my art so they’ll hire me for their next book project. Let’s work together! #kidlitart #Kidlitartpostcard #illustrator #sketches

I must put this on my calendar...

Happy Monday! Let's start out the week with something fun -- a sneak peek reveal of one of the big projects we've been working on. It's almost done! Which leaves me open for new projects! (hint, hint, contact me now!) #PBmaking #childrensbooks #kidlit #Kidlitart #illustration #SheldontheSheltie

It's NATIONAL BALLPOINT PEN DAY! I love my ballpoint pens for sketching! Usually black ink but sometimes I switch up w/blue. I used to draw with pencils, but I don't like the smudging on the paper & my hands. What is your go-to drawing tool? #illustrator #ballpointpens #drawingtools #sketchbook
