You don’t even have to press it first.

I just bake tofu with some PAM on it. Comes out great every time.

Thank you

Thanks! I had an art rep for fifteen years until she retired. I’ve been working towards getting a new agent ever since. This is a literary agent since I write now too. I’m so excited to have representation again.

I submitted sketches for a chapter book I’m illustrating. I accepted an offer for representation! I’m going to work on a dummy.

How long is the submission window open? Thanks!

Yes!

If you see this, post your bird art 🐣

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard day! ✨

Have an exciting story that needs bringing to life? Let’s connect!

He's my absolute favorite painter.

Wow! I have large hands and can't stand when a pencil gets half its original size.

Great cover!

Sorry you’re dealing with aging parents. It’s so tough. Artober is finally over. I think it was worthwhile. I also took a day off and am cooking dinner for friends. Happy Halloween 🎃

Happy Halloween! 🎃🎃🎃

It was quite a challenge! I think I’ll take five to final art. I’ve got a couple of picture book ideas out of the challenge as well. I had fun playing around with animal characters which I don’t get to do much in my day to day illustration work.

Thank you!

This is the last week for SCBWI Artober. It’s harder than it looks! I’ve got a job coming in November so I’d like to get some other projects out of the way before that starts. I’m also anxiously waiting for some news.

Day 27 of #SCBWIArtober2025 and the word is ATTIC. Rabbits up to the roof! This is from a book I wrote that I have out on submission. It’s about exponential growth.

Yeah, I think I’m in 7a now. I understand your hesitation but I might go for it because I lost a third of my dahlias in storage last winter. I’m struggling to find a cold dry place to store them.

Day 26 of #SCBWIArtober2025 and the word is PIE. This is a spot from Hailey Twitch and the Great Teacher Switch.

Yes, I’m in Pennsylvania. It’s a pain but worth it.

My husband cut probably the last dahlia bouquet for me today. It was so sweet of him because he knew we’re having a frost tonight.
