Happy Birthday Lilla

My awesome agent Lilla had a birthday over the weekend. We artists usually whip up a little illustration as a gift to her. Here's mine:

New Year, New Site!

Today is the last day of 2013 and to celebrate, I'm rebuilding my website. Exciting, I know. The past year has been a busy one for me. Assignments have increased exponentially at my day job, Blue Pony Motion Design, we've added a new designer and a new sales rep, and I've been working away at illustration jobs. I got engaged to the love of my life, Michael, in October. He and I are now in the midst of planning a wedding for this coming year in August. Yes, it's been a wonderful and fun filled year. I want to thank everyone I've worked with in the past few months and I wish you all a joyous and successful 2013!

Welcome to my blog, where I muse about Children's Book Illustration, Nature, and why apple crisp is so darn good!

Happy Book Birthday to Amanda Flinn! Her book "Yoga Baby" arrived yesterday June 9th! "Reaching, bending, rocking, and swaying--these are just a few of the moves a bouncy little baby tries when her mother practices yoga throughout the day. In the midst of a busy day, yoga turns out to be a surprising source of connection, fun, and giggles for mother and child. Surprising and silly, Yoga Baby proves that it's never too early for parents and children to explore together what their bodies can do--never too early, in short, for the life-giving practice of yoga!" Available today at Indie Bound! . . . . #bookbirthday #booklaunch #authorsofinstagram #author #kidlit #boardbook #childrensbooks #storyteller #yoga #yogababy #yogapractice #yogaforkids #yogaforbabies

Congrats to @lindsaylesliewrites !!! Dusk Explorers launches today! I can’t wait to read this to my little explorer! "In this lyrical ode to summertime, the search is on for tree climbers, firefly catchers, and hide-and-seekers to steal away to the outside world as dusk falls to night." #picturebookauthor #bookbirthday #booklaunch #picturebooks #kidlit #kidlitwriter #duskexplorers #dusk #summertime #fireflies #naturekids

Mourning, praying, soul-searching, listening, learning, taking action. #blackouttuesday

Have you guys ever played with sidewalk chalk and water! We had so much fun this afternoon drawing and then painting our rainbows! 🌈#rainbow #sidewalkchalk #sidewalkchalkart #streetart #sidewalkart
