Great group of art directors.

Popping into #portfolioday on behalf of art directors to say thank you for sharing your work. It makes our job easier. We appreciate you.
💙❤️

Also, FWIW, I made a starter pack of hiring art-, creative-, design-directors who actively use Bluesky.

It’s September and that means all the kids are back in school! Even the vampire kids. Happy #kidlitartpostcard day everyone 🧛🧛‍♀️

I’d love to work on more picture books, board books, magazines, graphic novels, games, puzzles or products! Let’s work together!

This illustration was made for Highlights.

It’s the first Thursday of August and that means it’s #kidlitartpostcard day! Weeeee!

I draw stuff that kids like. I know this to be true… a bunch of them told me. Art directors have been hiring me since 2006 and parents think my work is pretty neat. Let’s work together!

It’s June’s #kidlitartpostcard day!

I’m an illustrator. I make appealing (and often humorous) art for all sorts of projects like books, magazines, board games, video games, etc… and I want to make more. MORE I tell you!

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day!

I draw all sorts of things: animals, boats, mayhem, waves... And I can hide little pictures inside my drawings if needed! Can you find the envelope?

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day!

This illustration was created last year for a @highlightsforchildren Magical Woodland hidden pictures activity book and used as one of their promotional images online!

I’d love to take on more trade work and am open to representation.

These are a few of the hidden picture spreads I made for a Highlights Halloween lift-the-flap joke book! I especially like the ghostery store.

Ms. Cauliflower didn’t show up for this group picture because she refuses to accept her veggie nature (keeps insisting she’s a flower) and Mr. Broccoli doesn’t like to have his picture taken. What other veggie friends am I missing? 🍅🥕🧅🫑🥔
