Took some time to re-draw that cat sketch digitally. Working on finding a looser style to play with. I'm overall pretty happy with how this one turned out! Going to print it up on some cards for the 60 on 50th show tomorrow. Come by and say hello!

Last one! Developing this book dummy has been a long process, but I’ve learned so much! And really enjoy bringing all thee to life.

Got the wonderful opportunity to take a printmaking workshop at the MCBA this last weekend. It’s been a while since I’ve tried printmaking & I’ve never ventured into wood before. I was reminded both how much I love it and how hard it is on my body!

I'm getting into the final stretch of a new book dummy. I have one "final" spread that I can share. It's nice finding the look and feel of a project and really being able to see it all coming together.

I've been trying to make a more conscious practice of incorporating more varied skin tones in my work, so I made a few valentines to go in my Little Free Art Gallery. Happy Valentines Day!!

I'm working to send out a new round of physical (gasp!) postcards to Art Directors. I really enjoy this piece and it's especially versatile given the white space split. Fingers crossed it gets to the right connections!

A large tree at night with an owl sitting on top. One each branch is a group of tiny people doing an activity, telling stories in a tent, cooking out of a camper, watching stars.

Some closeups of my latest project. It was so fun being able to really explore and build a world in this project. The whole series is now up in the St Anthony's branch of the Hennepin Library. If you stop by let me know what you think!

Whew.. what a week. I was planning to post all of this last week, but then last week exploded. So here we are. This project has been a mixture of joy and frustration and so much learning.

A Closeup of a frame on the wall with the word "SOLD" inside. Black letters on white background. Text is superimposed that says "Follow the Chain: Why it's important to build a network with other creatives".
As the year winds down I'm thinking about all that I've done this year and all that I want to do next year. It's taken a long time, but I finally feel like I've got a solid start to the career I've wanted for so long.

I know it’s Thanksgiving today, but here’s a WIP of my next little foldout book. This one was way easier to plan and paint before it’s folded.

A colorful fall tree with tiny people gathering in it's branches to watch a movie. The sun is setting, there is a snack booth. The movie being shown is Jurassic Park. There is also a crow watching.

Happy #kidlitpostcardday! Don't you love it when it actually comes out just like you wanted? This is one of those times. I've got a whole series of these planned. This one however was the first idea and probably the most complicated!

I'm still here! The last few weeks have been busy, but I've got something fun & different (for me) in the works. Enjoy this sneaky bird in the mean-time :) #kidlit #kidlitillustration #illustration #twinCitiesArtist #MNArtist #bookart
Join me at the Machine Shop tomorrow in Minneapolis! I’ll have cards, stickers and prints available.

Tiny people sit on giant lily pads. They picnic, fish, and sunbathe while giant koi swim below them.
Got a great surprise yesterday when I got accepted to the Hopkin Juried Member Show!
This is different work from what up at the #edinaSeniorCenter, so make sure to check out both shows if you're local!
