I'm Layton, an author/illustrator based out of Virginia! I really enjoy creating fun characters and playing around with light and shadow!

I did this warm-up painting of SpiderGwen this morning! I have been focusing so much on picture book work that I haven't tried a piece of fan art in a long time. This was super fun!

Here is a caroling chipmunk on a well deserved cocoa break!

Another nightly paint session on the iPad! Finally got all of the Christmas decorations up in the house! Feeling quite cozy!

Here’s a winter badger that I painted up on the ole iPad last night!

I have been absolutely inspired by the work of Chris Dunn recently, so I channeled a little bit of him in this piece!

Huge thanks to @mindyalyseweiss.bsky.social and @brianlarossa.com for getting so many kidlit peeps here!

Well, I’m here now! To commemorate the occasion, here is a mouse on an ornament. 😃
