It's been a year since I last posted this one. Not exactly spooky, but I thought it was fun

To catch up with the postings, I'm doubling up the old spooky season illustrations today. A girl that was likely a pain to babysit, and a man that can never wear a hat for long. Enjoy.

I spent a good chunk of yesterday narrowing down 10 illustrations to submit for a juried exhibition. I have several illustrations that didn't make the cut, however, they are more seasonaly specific, so I can post them for the next several days for spooky season.
We'll start it off with Baba Yaga.

So, I finally took the leap and left my literary agency and my agent. I'm looking for an agent/agency that helps develop their talent as well as knowing how to best market them. Any suggestions on where to go from here?

I've been spending the evening drawing a stoner vulture for some sort of festival in Illinois, but since I can't show that until the shirts are done, this is a good time to dig out this old trio for the season.

Ellen, a sad, 14-year-old ballerina in a pink tutu sitting in a wheelchair. She has blond hair with a hint of the pink dye she had before. Her eyes are aqua in colour. Behind her is an aqua and green background showing lotus flowers in the rain, painted in a watercolour style. Lotus flowers stand for resilience. The background was interpreted from a photograph created by Nguyên Lam Mili found on Pinterest.

A girl witch and a boy sitting down for tea in a pretty garden next to a cottage. There are a handful of frogs around, including on the table. The girl in her purple witches robes is talking animatedly about something while the boy is smiling nervously as he eyes the green steam from his tea and the frog on the table.

Well, it was nice to be a part of the Art of Politics show last night, even though my poster was placed in the very back corner. I don't know if this sold at all in the auction, but, here's the final piece.

Trump sitting in the chair of the Lincoln Memorial with a tiny crown on his head and a litany of all things he's done that were damaging during his first term as well as the ever growing list in this term. Ice and the DOJ stand ready behind him with barbed wire and fire.

Just renewed my @scbwi.bsky.social membership. Let's hope I get to use it more this time and get another children's book to illustrate or to successfully query my own again.

So, dog bites are bad, but rabies shots around the wound add to the trauma. 0 stars. Do not recommend.
