I started out my creative journey wanting to be a syndicated cartoonist, it has lead me down many paths, and to many different types of projects. It’s been a really long time since I’ve done an actual cartoon but this happened organically and I had a lot of fun working on it.

When I was a kid I loved a little known sci-fi show called Space 1999. The space ship design just snuck its way into my character design without me even realizing I’d done it. #kidlitart #illustration #characterdesign

I tell my students all the time that art is not a product, it’s a process. That skill, style, voice is not an endgame, it’s an evolution. Here is an example of that in my work with a reinterpretation of an older piece in my new voice. #illustration #kidlitart #kidlitillustration

Often when I draw I start with something I need to practice. For the left I wanted to work on, pose, costuming, and attitude and this girl showed up. I like to work in two’s and I had no real idea for the right page - it’s a strange one but I love it for its strangeness. #kidlitart #illustration

So far this summer “vacation” I have drawn sketches for 2 children’s picture books totaling 72 pages of illustrations (including covers, title pages, and end papers). I’ve created 5 new high school art classes with a total of 74 projects. To top it off I’ve grown a tomato. #kidlitart #teacherlife

Three years ago I took this photo, which lead to the illustration last year, which lead to me experimenting more with a new style which then lead me to new illustration work. Inspiration hides all around us the trick is to take the time to notice.

Seagulls love sunny summer days. They laugh and play. They stretch and soar. But when the sky darkens to a threatening gray, gulls hunker down preparing for the coming storm. All but one …. Hope, she has the courage stand strong and weather the storm, do you? #SEL #skypitch #authorillustrator
