Latina with glasses and a smile. It's me Reggie

Time to update my profile pic! It's been a couple years. Introducing meeeeee for those just joining me. I'm Reggie, former #zookeeper and now #librarian and #kidlit author/illustrator. Have so many stories to tell about all the critters I called my friends that I hope to share. #kidlitart #portrait

Love it!

A middle-grade-aged girl wearing glasses, jeans and a frog-covered sweater holds a copy of Agatha Christie's Death on the Nile and looks suspicious as she eyes the door of the library behind her. The door is ajar and a sign on it reads "Missing: Librarian." The text on the postcard reads "Michael Dashow, mdashow-kidlitart.carrd.co, repped by Vicky Weber @ CMA."

Hi again #KidLitArtPostcard day! I'm not sure how I found time to draw & paint this month... It's a mystery (not unlike the situation in this illo! 🔍🐸)

I'm repped by @vickyweberbooks.bsky.social

Emitá, a seven year old girl, opens the door to Memoria’s chambers. The setting is Ancient Greece. Emitá is one of the the Moirai, the Fates, and any other deities that control destiny that appear in world mythologies. She is an original character and this is the title page spread for Warriors of Virtue (the graphic novel).

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard Day! I’m Mili and I am seeking representation.

I decided to turn Warriors of Virtue (my fantasy novel series) into a graphic novel, too. This image is from the proposal I’m working on.

Stay tuned!

Which one? There are 4 pillars? I know my year pillar is a dog and my hour pillar is a dragon, but I forgot the other two. Maybe goat and rooster?

Enlarged, rough idea thumbnail of an epic fantasy battle scene. Anyone know of some great references I can look up? I need wide to medium-wide shots. 😬

I did a little bit of animation work on this to help out (I hardly ever get to bust out my 2D hand-drawn animation skills any more! 😅) It's a super useful package if you're looking to add more life to your RenPy screens.

A cartoon of a hopping vampire pouncing toward a Taoist priest, who is gifting him a red envelope with a heart and 岁岁平安 on it. The priest says “爱” (love) while the vampire says “哇” (Wah!?). Chinese text reads 新年好 (happy new year) and 我們做個朋友吧 (let’s be friends) Below the cartoon it says HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR BrianKirbyStudio.com With two of the popular “sad horse” plush doll faces framing the text

Happy Lunar New Year!
Peace and happiness! 🧧

Art of a young East asian girl wearing a yellow outfit and holding a red ribbon. She rides a red horse with flames for its mane and tail. A similar looking foal runs in the foreground. 5 other horses run in the background. The fire horses symbolize the year of the Fire Horse in the Chinese astrological calendar.

Happy Year of the Fire Horse 🔥🐎!

Yesterday, my niece did the same thing to my sister. She would not get off her shoulders.

Mili Fay’s Warriors of Virtue — Graphic Novel Panel Thumbnails. Emita enters the Memoria’s chamber. Seeing she is alone, she walks up to the pedestal with the Golden Book of Eternity. She is too short, so she drags a chair in front of the pedestal. These are panels for pages 1 to 5. WIP.

Warriors of Virtue — Prologue WIP

After designing the character, I designed the location. Finally today I’m reworking my thumbnail sketches with some basic lighting schemes. Pages 1 to 5.

Emitá, Mili Fay’s original character. A girl of about 7, dresses in an Ancient Greece inspired dress. She has large eyes and lots of bushy hair.

That moment when you’ve spent hours sketching your new OC and then finally —there she is!

Pleased to meet you Emitá.
