Matilda the mole lives in a hole that’s more like a maze. She bounces around starting a new idea before finishing the other one and leaves items where they don’t belong. #kidlitartist #kidlitart #illustration #animalillustration #childrensbookillustrator

Last week I made a post on Substack for my newsletter. This was one of the drawings I made learning from a few picture books from the 1950s. The original had stereotypical looking natives, I wanted to make an attempt to draw them differently #kidlitart #childrensbook #kidlitartist #dtiys #trains

Summer is a great time to read the classics, like L. Frank Baum. I had a lot of fun making this illustration, especially the Cowardly Lion.
