Phew! I have finished the revised dummy for one of my picture books. Now it goes out to my CPs before sending to my agent. She had approved the last version of the revised manuscript and now there are revised drawings too! Enjoy a little sneak peek! #authorillustrator #kidlit #kidlitart #sketch

Just ordered a full, print edition of the World Book Encyclopedia of 2023 (before LLMs can have corrupted the editing), as a hedge against society's rapidly accelerating slide into an AI-hallucinated "knowledge" ecosystem in which vetted information is growing more difficult to find. I❤️BOOKS!

We've had the opportunity to work on a variety of board games over the years. This was a fun family game we helped develop, Mighty Pig Tug for Roosterfin Games. We created all the art & graphics. #BoardGames #illustration #graphicdesign #gameart #characterdesign #characterart #cuteanimals
