One monster. One missing sock. Every creature in the forest is a suspect. Nobody's seen Hugo's sock, but that belt looks familiar. So does that sleeping bag. Turns out Harold, his not-just-a-sock friend, has gone off to find himself. HUGO'S ODD DAY OUT #DVpit #PB #DVart #ND #JV #Illustrator

Alma dreads introducing her one-armed dad on Career Day. But Dad turns the kids' questions about his empty sleeve into a playful one-handed challenge. Based on my childhood with a funny, resilient dad who has polio. ALMA'S TURN. International rights available. #DVpit #PB #DVart #DIS #JV #Illustrator

SCHOOL'S FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL with a spooky twist. Armed with a whisk and a skillet, Oona chases a house-spirit through her Brooklyn home. It's even more scared than she is. House just wants company. Together, they find the song in its creaks. SONG OF HINGES #DVpit #PB #DVart #ND #JV #Illustrator

Firefighter sisters. Ice-cream vendor uncles. And Alma's dad? A one-armed accountant. Career Day is going to be awful. The kids stare at his empty sleeve. Dad challenges them to try things one-handed. Wait. Is that HER dad they're cheering for? ALMA'S TURN #DVpit #PB #DVart #DIS #JV #Illustrator

Hugo wants his sock back. The forest creatures deny everything, while wearing socks as belts, swinging from them, and sleeping inside them. The pictures give them away. But Harold isn't just a sock, and he has a journey of his own to take. HUGO'S ODD DAY OUT #DVpit #PB #DVart #CI #JV #Illustrator

Who's afraid of a haunted house? Oona. Who's afraid of Oona? The house-spirit she's chasing with a whisk and a skillet. House, meanwhile, just wants company. Together, these unlikely friends discover the song inside those creaky, scary sounds. SONG OF HINGES #DVpit #PB #DVart #DIS #ND #Illustrator

Alma wishes Career Day would disappear. How can her one-armed accountant dad compete with firefighters? The class has questions about his empty sleeve. Dad has a game for them. Soon they're laughing, trying things one-handed, and surprising Alma most of all. ALMA'S TURN #DVpit #PB #DVart #DIS #JV

One monster. One missing sock. Many ridiculous suspects. Nobody in the forest has seen Hugo's sock. Funny. That belt looks familiar. So does that sleeping bag. But Harold isn't just a sock. He's a friend on a journey of self-discovery. HUGO'S ODD DAY OUT #DVpit #PB #DVart #ND #JV #Illustrator

A rattle. A creak. A squeak and a thump. Oona grabs a whisk and a skillet and chases the Something through her Brooklyn brownstone. Cornered at last: a jittery little house-spirit even more frightened than she is, keeping a lonely House company. SONG OF HINGES #DVpit #PB #DVart #ND #JV #Illustrator

Thrilled to share that my illustration “The Night the Tomatoes Went Crazy” is a finalist in the 2025 CYA Conference Illustration Competition! 🌟 CYA Conference is one of Australia’s leading events for emerging and published creators of children’s books. Grateful and excited to be included!

A child with curly red hair sits on a bed, holding a squirrel, surrounded by a dozen colorful, expressive cats. Above them hangs a garland of ripe tomatoes. A green “Finalist” ribbon is displayed in the corner. The scene is warm, surreal, and slightly chaotic.

Meet my grumpy toddler monster: Born 2 years ago through colored pencils and a fierce attitude—and patiently been waiting for her story to be written ever since. I'm sharing her for this month’s #SCBWIchallengeWildThings #kidlitart #scbwiDrawThis #scbwiDrawThisWildThings #whildthings

A colorful, grumpy-looking sea creature with fish-like features and horns, dressed in a red dress with a black belt and gold buckle. The creature has folded arms, green scales, vibrant fins, and a long striped tail, exuding a strong personality and attitude. The illustration is done in soft, detailed colored pencil style on a white background.
