Some /early/ development work on the look of the cast. I always knew I wanted things to be colorful! #MGlit #booksky #illustrator

Forgot the alt-text on these earlier! Little standies that I designed to be engraved on wood! They turned out pretty adorable if I do say so myself! #illustrator #dungeonsanddragons #D&D

Guidelines for our first ever Author Hype Event #WSPit #WIPSnips has always been about growing community. You all show up everyday (some since day one) sharing pieces of your writing. Here's the chance to go beyond snips and pitch your work! More infographics to come, but here's a start

I went through a little bit of a Bluey phase... and it's definitely still going. #kitlitart #illustrator #bluey

Reminder to comment on that art post or fanfic, and drop a review of that book. Telling creatives what you think, even if it’s just a one line sentence, truly does make a difference! And I don’t just mean ‘engagement’. I mean it will make their day. Tell someone when you love their work 🤍

Back in the day, I wrote a weird little semi-gothic picture book about a victorian fox going to a big-box store. ... It was an absolute mess, but I still love a lot of these older pictures I drew for it. Anyone else remember staring at the fish tanks? #kidslitart #illustrator

Some fresh experimental depictions. Been playing with grayscale values for my illustrations instead of just ink. #kidlitillustration #illustrator #writer #MGLit

I stand with the trans community. Pass it along.

Some of my favorite design years were for a puppet theater that did stage adaptations of movies. #illustrator #design

Has there ever been something quite as creatively inspiring as Dungeons and Dragons? Drawn for members of my Dungeoning Party and for myself! #writer #illustrator #dungeonsanddragons #D&D

2024 was a big year for Bluey sketches and this one was my absolute favorite. #illustrator #booksky #bluey

Gotta keep re-working those drafts. #writer #illustrator #MGLit #booksky

Is it Friday, yet?

This sketch for a "really simple" idea ended up spawning a 80k word Middle Grade Novel. There's something kind of fantastic about giving a silly concept a chance to be taken seriously. #writer #illustrator #booksky #MGLit

There is something rather lovely about the things we do every day. #writer #illustrator #mglit

Little siblings have no concept of cleanliness. A slightly less oldie from before a bit of a style shift, but still one I love. #writer #illustrator #MGlit #booksky #author

"Up here, thoughts of whisper voices and swirling darkness would simply blow away, out over the rooftops." #writer #illustrator #MGLit #middlegrade

This was an early group-shot of my team. They've changed a bit from the Power Rangers inspired lineup, but I feel like the struggle to make each member of a group stand out can really help to solidify those voices. #writer #writingcommunity #middlegrade

The process of creating a character you want to draw over and over again is a wild one! #writer #middlegradewriter #middlegradeillustration #illustrator

Hello bluesky! A querying Upper Middle Grade writer and avid cartoonist making it work in PDX! Gonna see if I can find my other book-nerds out here. #PDXWriters #queryingwriter #writer
