Another day, another piece of Spider-Man fan art to keep my inner geek happy. Having too much fun with this character design and trying to capture some dynamic poses I don’t get to draw very often.

I have a few days before my next project starts I so jumped at the chance to do some fan art for the new animated Spider-Man show. Really loving the new character design and aesthetic so wanted to take a crack at blending my style with it.

I promise 2025 will be the year I actually post on all of my social media accounts. Here’s a book cover that I finished last year that goes on sale this month! #kidlitart

I started sketching this a while ago and finally made myself sit down and render it. I had the idea of a group of awesome badass girls fending off a group of mindless boys. But… fantasy. A very subtle commentary. 😏

I really want to start playing with new color palettes and lighting. Really liked how this came out. 🏳️🌈

My social media presence is severely lacking lately, but I've been working! The first three books in a series I've illustrated are out now which is very exciting. :) #kidlit #kidlitart

I haven’t been able to share anything I’m working on lately, but I see some people doing the #artvsartist2023 posts so that’s a good opportunity to post *something.* Looking forward to a productive 2024! #kidlitart

I wanted to squeeze in one final cover for this mock series before I jumped into a real project that was going to take some time. Had a lot of fun with this Alex Kazam series. Fun challenge. 🌟 #kidlit #kidlitart #middlegrade

I started daydreaming about this character last week so of course I needed to make a mock book series for him. 😅 #kidlit #kidlitart #middlegrade

It's been a rewarding month of drawing prompts. I challenged myself to do more 'complete' illustrations for each prompt rather than ignore the backgrounds... which I often do when working on personal work.

About a year ago, I tried to illustrate/design a mock cover... and then just kept doing it. Here are some favorites from the year. It's interesting to see the group and identify my crutches and where I need to focus my growth.

Dolls in the Attic. I’m getting darker and moodier with each week of October... I think I’m going to need to brighten things up again in November! 😅 #kidlitart
