I think statistics are interesting, so today's featured #bookreview is my most viewed. An oldie but goodie featuring a Colorado-based author and a fun, middle grade mystery.

Despite quite liking bats, I somehow have only ever drawn them as background elements (usually for a vampire or witch or... something).

Anyone else who is more bats about... bats... ? 🦇 #kidlitart
Hey illustrators/agents!

I’m a #kidlit art director starting work on a new picture book—we’re looking for: expressive, commercial, human characters; texture (printmakingish); AND BATS! Lively, active, swarming BATS!

Please respond w/ samples + folio link.

Throwback to when I made a booktrailer for Daybreak in Raven Island... Fun, but definitely a stretch for my skillset, lol.
