From Elmo to Koala. Another ‘then & now’ commissioned portrait I recently made. Love that Dakota is growing up while still holding on to stuffed animals. Just like me! @eastwestlit.bsky.social #KidLitArtists #KidLit

Sometimes I make commission portraits for Walgrove Elementary. This was a repeat customer. Savannah, five years ago, was obsessed with Mr. Fox, today, it's all Maisey the cat! I love turning portraits into stories, not just pictures. @eastwestlit.bsky.social

On a busy scale from 1-10 I'm 10! Last week of summer break and I'm panicking. Lovely illustration!
Are you a busy little bee? Are you too busy? On scale of 1-10, how busy are you?

I second this! This book is just as impressive as the rangers it describes. 👍
