The Coraline audiobook has been keeping me company lately, and I couldn’t resist starting a spooky little fall-inspired drawing because of it 🗝️ Here’s a sneak peak at some of the details #WIP

I’m beyond excited to say I now have not one, but TWO agents!
(If you told me this a month ago, I’d call you cuckoo 😜)

Huge thanks to @bookfairyangus.bsky.social & @ashleedani.bsky.social
Here’s to more stories as fun as 🧀🐶 and all the art my brain can dream up. 💛

Rainy Saturday treat… The green flavor is called Upchuck 🤢 We couldn’t help ourselves—we had to try it! (Spoiler alert: it was actually super yummy!)

#WIP Crayola Colored pencils… you have a special place in my heart ❤️

I love Epcot… that is all 💙

Never underestimate the power of crayola colored pencils… here’s my creation from my art classes this morning!

Portrait drawing is one of my favorite things to teach, and this random lady on Pinterest sparked my artsy fartsy brain this morning.

My students love when I create beside them ❤️ #wip

Happy Friday everyone!
Here was my poll for my middle school art students earlier this week.

What’s your thoughts? Maybe I’m bias as an art teacher- but I think art is everywhere and in every subject! 🎨

My middle school art students were asked an important question: Do you think you have to be “good” at art to be an artist?

Here are the results- what are your thoughts?

I still can’t get over that my boy turned four just a couple days ago. I’m sure every writer/dog parent thinks this, but he needs his own book!
