Thanks! Glad you noticed the color. It's something I really work on. It makes a huge difference.

Thanks, Charlene! I should do more with Beary Claus.

It’s busy here in the studio, so this is a repost from last year.

And this year, I'm one of the mentors! If you're in the RMC chapter, check it out.

Big news! I’m illustrating a new book.

Thank you! It took quite the pencil mileage to get here, but it was worth the journey.

Thanks for sharing! Just put them on hold at my library.

What a great cover! It builds intrigue all with a great composition and storytelling—and I'm a sucker for great lettering/typography.

I recently saw a Maurice Sendak original that had three separate drawings–all needing to line up for print. Lightboxes were a necessity, but still!

These two color illustrations are amazing! And the fact that the illustrators usually had to provide the plate separations for the printer is mind-boggling!

You're out here doing the Lord's work—educating us all in mid-century art. There were true masters who most people don't know about.

Amazing, Taylor! Your art is truly incredible. I'm always blown away by your compositions, characters, storytelling and visual clarity.

Super fun, DeAndra! This has been one of my favorite logos from Brandiose. It's great to see your tribute!

Love seeing you all putting this on! Kids want to laugh and enjoy reading books. 👏👏👏

A boy starts to go trick-or-treating, but his parents want him prepared for the elements.
Lots of comedy and real parent/kid dynamics.
And the art is incredible!

Today's @ppld.org find.
What an amazing book by @johnloren.bsky.social!

Such a fun character! The roller skates, walkman and headphones all bring me back. Wonderful color and value as well!

Who knew the kraken just wanted a singing buddy! Great piece as always, Rob!

Your settings and compositions are always wonderful. What a great piece all around!

What a wonderful piece! I love the crab and how you rendered the water.

Hi #kidlitartpostcard! ✌️

I’m just an author and illustrator standing here with a book dummy. I love telling weird, humorous stories, often with a nonfiction element.

Thank you for noticing! This is the type of book I needed as a kid. My hope is to inspire the next generation of science nerds.
