A little close-up cover view of yesterday’s book jacket. I think this is my favourite one yet. ❤️

Anyone else counting down the days until fall and spooky season?

Progress! (And a Ruby photobomb)

Another project, another palette. I seriously love putting colours together and can’t wait to get these down on my next cover. ❤️

I was a bit stuck with what to do for my next portfolio piece, but I’ve come up with an idea I’m absolutely smitten with. ❤️

Thank you!

Another middle grade cover done. (Don’t tell the others, but this one’s my favourite).

It’s been a busy week, so I’m stealing time and progress where I can. Every bit counts.

It’s a beautiful day to work on mermaids. Another mock cover in the works.

#kidlit #kidlitart #kidlitillustration #mg #middlegradecover #scbwi #mockcover #bookcover #illustration #illustrator

I have yet to meet a mermaid in real life, but I can tell you for a fact that middle grade mermaids are a force to be reckoned with.

Any Ottawa/Montreal dates? Can’t wait for this book!

In my happy place working on an assignment for @the_illustration_initiative MG course. Ruby is supervising in full frog dog splendour.

The Shangri-Laura (my outdoor office) is open, at least until the weather turns tomorrow. Sunshine + character work = winning combo.

Taking inspiration from my favourite gothic horror authors for my latest mock cover. I think this one is my favourite yet. 🥀 🐍

Channeling my love ofJenny Bayliss’ witty Christmas romance novels with my latest mock cover.

Art directors, cover designers, and authors, I’d love to see my art on your book!

Another cover in progress. Any guesses which genre I’m diving into now?

#bookcover #coverart #coverillustration #art #artist #illustration #illustrator #mockcover #coverdesign

Continuing my foray into adult fiction cover art. Would you pick this book up off a shelf? I hope you would!

A new little hall library for some of my favourite picture books. ❤️

It’s officially stay-in-my-pyjamas-all-day season, which means it’s also art vs. artist season. Here are some of my 2024 highlights. ❤️
