Hey, Brian! I've been toying with making these foam stamps as a way to lay down color. Not sure where it's going quite yet!

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

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

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

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

Surprise! I had a rat in college named Mary (named after Mary Cassatt) Walk right past the gerbils, mice, and guinea pigs. Get a rat. They're sweet, smart, and loyal. #blackandwhiteillustration #middlegradeillustration #kidlitart #kidlitillustration #childrensbookillustration

Happy Friday, #kidlit folks! My PB ideas usually come as characters in my sketchbook first. I wonder if this is true for most illustrator/authors? #kidlitart #authorillustrator

I keep a mixed-media sketchbook on my desk. I make them from scrap watercolor/Mixed-Media paper. I wish I had prettier sketchbooks, full of full pages color images. But there's freedom with no agenda or specific format. #kidlitart #kidlitsketchbook #kidlitillustrator

Going through my books and found this doozie. First published AI? No credit to bizarre illustrations. No credit to stories that go nowhere. Bizarre! #strangebooks #kidlit
