My favorite thing to watch during the spooky season is Disney's Sleepy Hollow!

A gray smiling bipedal wolf offering candies to four trick or treaters. The first one is dressed as Luigi from Super Mario Bros. and she is scared surprised. The second one is dressed as a ghost and he is smiling and amazed. The third one is dressed as Frankenstein, he is also scared. The fourth one is dressed as a witch princess and she is slowly walking backwards.

My entry for SCBWI's Draw This Monthly contest. This month the prompt was Travel. I had a lot of fun creating this happy little traveler and her trusty teddy bear.

At 6'2" Julia Child was too tall to join the Women's Army, so she joined the OSS. Later known as the CIA.

Did you know that Julia Child helped create shark repellent during WWII while she was in the OSS? The OSS later became known as the CIA. Fascinating woman!

This is an idea in my head for a book, based on Julia Child's time in the OSS.
I like to illustrate with heart, wonder and wimsy and I am looking for my next project.
Happy KidlitArtPostcard Day!
