I’ve always had a soft spot for “nuisance animals,” especially the resourceful ones. So I wondered, if this trio could break in anywhere, what kind of heist would they plan? A Cookie Heist, of course.

What do you do when your best friend has smelly breath? If you’re Bink you simply enjoy the moment. Bink loves all stinks. No exceptions.

In 1910, John Moisant was the first person to fly across the English Channel with a passenger—well, actually two passengers—his mechanic… and his cat Mademoiselle Fifi! I had fun illustrating l them in two color ways. #childrensbookillustration #kidlit #kidlitnonfiction #historicfigures

Vintage kitchen towel as inspiration. The name of the illustrator is unknown, but Bucilla was known to produce towels like these.

Been having fun listening to the birds and doing these mini 1.5” x 2.25” abstract landscapes based on the views around the Ness farm.

For the past three years, I have been busy building an illustration and manuscript portfolio, taking classes, attending SCBWI & Loft conferences, connecting with other author/illustrators, writing manuscripts, and creating B/W dummies. I can’t wait to share in the community here on Blue Sky!
