Diapers & Deadlines: Crafting a Child and Raising Dreams- Potty training is a real trip. From the concept of a swirling vortex from which nothing SHOULD ever return to understanding not to pee in your pants anymore… its a whole new world in there. #kidlit #scbwi #momlife #comic #parenting #toddler

Penguin adventure. This was a first attempt at a design for a future kidlit postcard. I liked it even though it ended up with an entirely different vibe. #kidlit #illustration #scbwi #scbwiillustrators #authorillustrator #picturebook

Process video for #Novembird #novembird2024 the watercolor wash goes down after the sketch. I use a kneaded eraser to remove excess graphite. Then I do the watercolor outline of the bird. Next is gouache to fill in the bird.

Folktale Week! Today's prompt is mist. Out of the supernatural fog approached a monstrous ghoul! The robbers had no idea what had set up upon their hideout and they ran away in fear! #folktaleweek #folktaleweek2024 #scbwiillustrators #brementownmusicians

Thank you! I had deleted my pitch, here it is:
