Mid-way through May, and I just now doodled a mermaid for #MerMay! I do love drawing mermaids. Next month, ORPHELINE, written by Katelyn Aronson and illustrated by me, comes out. If you're a mermaid fan, I hope you'll check it out!#kidlitart #mermay #mermaids

I drew a #mermaid on the first leg of my flight on my iPad (in honor of the upcoming Mermaid Day March 29). I added O’Hare Airport carpet and tile as texture overlays. :D #usewhatyouhave #kidlit #kidlitart #sketch
