Happy #kidlitartpostcard Day! I'm an illustrator and author from Oklahoma. A good joke is my favorite thing when I tell stories. I'm open to picture books, board books, middle grade, and editorial. #kidlitpostcard #kidlitart #picturebookillustration #kidlitillustration #picturebook

Remember that poem? "When I'm old, I shall wear purple?" I'm not a purple person. But I hope I'll adopt the sentiment to throw decorum out the window. (swipe to see where I got my inspiration from) #kidlitart #kidlitillustration #vintagephoto #funnyillustration #basetthound #picturebookillustration
Illustration. An older lady is riding a skateboard while holding an umbrella. An exuberant basset hound runs alongside. A photo of an elderly couple. The man is helping the woman ride a skateboard.

Yesterday, I heard the @99pi.org episode about emojis. Once upon a time, I made my own (10yrs ago). I'm not a huge emoji fan. I prefer words. I love a good 💚, but I'd rather type out "Ha!" Or "Who knows?!" I'm not judging, honest! I'm a talker! #emoji #lineart #inkdrawings #sketchbook #kidlitart
Hands drawn. Thumbs up. Wave. Fingers crossed. Peace. Okay. Chef's kiss. Drawings of birthday cake, thumbs up, sad face, smiling face, sleepy face

Happy Monday, friends! I love crows. They're smart and beautiful and they always seem to be watching. I love David Sedaris' tale about the lamb and the crow. So sometimes, an eye or two might make it into my sketch. #crows #crowillustration #kidlitart #kidlitsketch #sketch_daily
Three happy crows illustrated in water soluble graphite.

I have been lax on my daily drawing lately. When I have nothing to draw, I reach to my bucket 'o ideas. I've printed off all of the screenshots I've kept for inspiration. Today, I got a little inspiration from #richardscarry #kidlitart #kidlitsketch #characterdesign #kidlitart
Two alligators with bows are hugging.

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard day!

I write and illustrate board books, picture books, readers, and comics. I love quirky characters and anything that lets me show a range of emotions.
