#kidlitartpostcard growing up if I wasn’t drawing, I was banging on the drums. My parents kept me supplied with pencils and drumsticks for fear that If I ran out, that energy would be applied toward considerable mischief. They were probably right.

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day! The idea for this piece came from watching football. No kidding. I watched a Baltimore Ravens game. Turns out their name is inspired by Poe. So I imagined Poe as a 12 year old boy gathering inspiration for his future work… which inspired NFL team. #kidlitart #poe

What if aliens abducting cows just came to the Milky Way looking for a great milkshake? Happy #kidlitartpostcard day! #kidlitart #illustration #childrensbookillustration

It’s #kidlitartpostcard once again! September already! I’m not at all ready to say goodbye to summer! I’m very pro-summer. It’s one of my favorite things. Do you think sharks like summer too? #ilovesharks #kidlitart #kidlitartist

Noodling a bit on a comic project, experimenting with some color. I like to use markers, watercolor and colored pencil to work things out. Probably not the most efficient way, but I usually move back forth between traditional and digital. #messingaround #havefun #kidlitart

I spent a significant amount of time looking for some check box to turn this off. This far, no dice. I hope that is a “feature” we can get in the future.

Series I’m currently reading. Pretty fun. Kind of a hybrid graphic novel, sort of like Bad Guys. Anybody read it?

I was a mildly good-looking and fully functioning kid before I got a bike. My bike and I tested gravity and other laws of physics on many occasions. Often resulting in repairs to myself and the bike.

A few shots around the studio. Still have flooring to do, but it’s coming together.

Good tips. I’m real! You and I met at a NYC SCBWI conference. Back when it was at the Grand Central Station hotel. Sad that it moved. Although getting to walk across the street to MOMA is pretty cool. Anyway, I’ll flesh out the rest of the profile before following others!

Hi #kidlit folks! Just joined Blue Sky! I'm an illustrator (who is writing) who enjoys comics, music, humor with wry wit. Some favorite classic children's books are Danny and the Dinosaur, Go Dog Go! Really too many to name. I'm working on re-doing my studio so I'll post some pics of that soon.

Creating funny, personable characters is one of my very favorite things about being a #kidlit illustrator. This is one of my favs. Mitchell.
