Would I illustrate or ghostwrite a celebrity picture book? YES, I couldn't afford not to. But this is the satire I'm here for.

I came across a #kidlit agent today looking for "wholesome chaos." I find this phrase so perfect.
Anyway here's a fictional book cover I made for my portfolio. #kidlitart

A small slice of a comic I just finished about my consumer question fatigue, comparing the shopping experience of a girl in the US and one in the EU. See the whole thing on my Instagram. : )

Waiting for batches of queries to come back is the weirdest time. I usually take the time to brush up on my drawing/illustration skills which is a dangerous game because sometimes I evolve and then feel the urge to throw out my whole portfolio. 🙃 Anyway here is grass practice. #kidlitart #kidlit

It's getting hot here in Orlando. My unsolicited advice to folks visiting the theme parks is to walk around with ice on your head. (They will give you free water/ice at the food stalls)

This week, I am keeping my projects moving. I'm looking forward to finishing this book pitch. I loved search-and-find books as a kid, and this idea has been in my brain for years. It's a relief to see it coming alive.

I am finishing up this last illustration for my latest book dummy. Now, I'm bouncing back to some edits and changes on other spreads. Nearly there! Feeling good.
