Remembering Dorothy P. Lathrop, American illustrator whose mother was an artist, her grandpa owned a bookstore, and her sister was a sculptor. Animals were her love. She won the inaugural Caldecott Award in 1938 for "Animals of the Bible." #childrensbooks #picturebooks #kidlitart
Remembering Garth Williams, American artist and illustrator whoo rose to prominence in the postWWII era. He illustrated for a diverse range of authors (80+ books) and wrote 7 books himself. Some of his art is inseparable from the book. #childrensbooks #picturebooks #kidlitart

A page of rodent themed sketches during a timed drawing session. A beaver sketched in 4 minutes, 6 mins for a rat and a red squirrel and 5 mins for a water vole.
Timed rodent sketches including a porcupine drawn in 9 mins and a trio of mice on a stalk of wheat, drawn in 10 minutes.
Some rodent themed sketches I made during a timed drawing session. I tried to be intentional about simplifying shapes and stylizing the animals from the references but not sure I was successful enough at that. #kidlitart #cuteanimalart
In a cave, two young teens battle a ghostly pink and purple skeleton that emanates from a gold chain's medallion, which is a surly pink ice cream wielding a wand and carrying a treasure chest. The one kid has an undercut and an ochre, pink and letterman jacket and cyan cape, black pants, pink trainers and grey gauntlets. The other kid has orange hair over his eyes, wields a golden mace, wears a red sleeveless top with golden-skulled wrestling belt and black fur cape and boots. They are among a large treasure horde of gold pieces and fancy sneakers. On the wall is spray painted Hype Beast in green and Lich in purple.

What did I do this week? Did I make any progress or did I completely FAIL! Only one way to find out... #comics #wip #kidlitart
A collage illustration of a boy in a canoe.
Another collage from my WIP about nature writer and conservationist, Sigurd Olson. I hand painted vintage paper, catalogs, instruction manuals, etc.

Illustration of Jellyvale: A Match Tale of a Goldielocks in school cafeteria unhappy with her porridge
Story Moment for Squid Games, Inc’s @jellyvalematch of Goldielocks and her porridge.
Finally excited to start showing some of the work I’ve been doing for the past several years!

Professional illustrators mess up, too. What matters is how we recover, learn, and keep creating. Hoping this version shines! Also, can we talk about how Photoshop still needs rock‑solid backup autosave?

Here are some character sketches that didn’t quite make the cut for my upcoming choose your own adventure book. These sketches didn't fit the character, but I still think they're fun and worth sharing. Instead of being forgotten on my hard drive.

Collage and paint illustration in purples, reds, and yellows: two kids on bunkbeds. The sister is reaching down from the top bunk and trying to take a teddy bear from the sleeping brother on the bottom bunk.
Did you have a favorite stuffed animal? What was its name? Did you protect it at all costs from your siblings? I had one called Humphrey Bogart that my brother called Humphrey Bullfart.

Amazing layers. Take an adult problem but make it kid-centric. Presto! Brava! What is it like to challenge your own thoughts?
Something new for my portfolio 🌷
p.s. I'd really like to illustrate something like that

Submitted two more titles to the Public Lending Right. I wish Illustrators were registered as authors in Picture Books, but still, I love you, PLR!
