Rain: Yeti forgot to bring an umbrella for the rain in London. His fish and chips got soggy. @folktaleweek.bsky.social #folktaleweek #folktaleweek2025 #westminsterpalace #kidlitart

Echo @folktaleweek (Not as finished as I wanted it to be but gotta move on to the next prompt!) Yeti yodeled along the Alps. His voice echoed from Austria to Switzerland. #folktaleweek #folktaleweek2025 #kidlitart #swissalps #matterhorn #yeti

Night #folktaleweek @folktaleweek.bsky.social (I worked on this yesterday until late at night) Yeti has decided to finally leave his home and travel the world. It was night when he walked along the Great Wall of China. #yeti #kidlitart

Matilda the mole lives in a hole that’s more like a maze. She bounces around starting a new idea before finishing the other one and leaves items where they don’t belong. #kidlitartist #kidlitart #illustration #animalillustration #childrensbookillustrator

Happy #portfolioday 🎉 I’m an illustrator in Utah and I’m looking for work in illustrating picture books. I’m also seeking representation. I love to bring heart, whimsy, and humor to stories.

The class has a little witch. She does things differently, like making friends with crows during recess. #kidlitart #inktober #illustration #witchtober #littlewitch

Happy October! This month I wanted to draw what kindergarten class would look like if one of them was a witch.
I am an illustrator interested in telling fantastical and funny stories, and I am looking for representation. #kidlitartpostcard #witch #kidlitart #illustration #halloween #inktober

Fear not and do good.
Doctrine and Covenants 6:33-36 Fear not to do good⁠, my sons, for whatsoever ye sow⁠, that shall ye also reap; therefore, if ye sow good ye shall also reap good for your reward⁠. Therefore, fear not, little flock⁠; do good; let earth and hell combine against you, for if ye are built upon my rock, they cannot prevail. Behold, I do not condemn you; go your ways and sin no more; perform with soberness the work which I have commanded you. Look unto me in every thought⁠; doubt not, fear not.

John 15:17-19 These things I command you, that ye love one another. If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world⁠, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

When Joseph Smith pleaded with the Lord, the Lord spoke of peace.
Doctrine and Covenants 121:5-8 Let thine anger be kindled against our enemies; and, in the fury of thine heart, with thy sword avenge us of our wrongs. Remember thy suffering saints, O our God; and thy servants will rejoice in thy name forever. My son, peace be unto thy soul; thine adversity and thine afflictions shall be but a small moment; And then, if thou endure it well, God shall exalt thee on high; thou shalt triumph over all thy foes⁠.

Alma 46:12-17 And it came to pass that he rent his coat; and he took a piece thereof, and wrote upon it—In memory of our God, our religion, and freedom, and our peace, our wives, and our children—and he fastened it upon the end of a pole. And he fastened on his head-plate, and his breastplate⁠, and his shields, and girded on his armor about his loins; and he took the pole, which had on the end thereof his rent coat, (and he called it the title of liberty⁠) and he bowed himself to the earth, and he prayed mightily unto his God for the blessings of liberty to rest upon his brethren, so long as there should a band of Christians remain to possess the land— For thus were all the true believers of Christ, who belonged to the church of God, called by those who did not belong to the church.

America has always been a land of liberty and freedom and righteousness 🇺🇸
2 Nephi 10:11-14 And this land shall be a land of liberty unto the Gentiles, and there shall be no kings upon the land, who shall raise up unto the Gentiles. And I will fortify this land against all other nations. And he that fighteth against Zion shall perish⁠, saith God. For he that raiseth up a king against me shall perish, for I, the Lord, the king of heaven, will be their king, and I will be a light unto them forever, that hear my words.

I’ll be sharing some writings in my notebook today, starting with this one.
Doctrine and Covenants 98:13-14: And whoso layeth down his life in my cause, for my name’s sake, shall find it again, even life eternal. Therefore, be not afraid of your enemies, for I have decreed in my heart, saith the Lord, that I will prove you in all things, whether you will abide in my covenant, even unto death, that you may be found worthy.

Here is a detail close-up of an unfinished illustration I’ve been working on, a view inside the home of a mole. What kind of family pictures do you guys frame on a wall? #kidlitart #illustration #undergroundhouse #animalcharacterdesign #kidlitartist

I’m working on designing some characters for a book idea, a fantasy adventure comedy. They might look a bit different in the final version but I’m hoping to share more about this story in the near future #dnd #comic #conceptart #characterdesign #graphicnovel #fantasy

Last week I made a post on Substack for my newsletter. This was one of the drawings I made learning from a few picture books from the 1950s. The original had stereotypical looking natives, I wanted to make an attempt to draw them differently #kidlitart #childrensbook #kidlitartist #dtiys #trains
