Inktober 2019
Just a very belated post with this past October’s daily Inktober challenges. I kind of love Inktober, not going to lie.
I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas
Hello!
It’s been a long while since I’ve posted anything new, but it’s been a busy couple years. During that time a lovely little hippo loving baby girl was born to a friend of mine. I finally finished up her request for a custom Fiona the Hippo wall decal just before this past Christmas. Momma sent along a couple pictures of the decal in it’s place of honor and I couldn’t be happier with how it came out. This was my first attempt at a stand alone vinyl decal and I’m pleased with the result. I’m also honored to have my work on this munchkin’s bedroom wall. I love when my creations can play a part in a child’s home. Thank you Bekah for sharing and letting me be a part of your beautiful little girl’s room.

The Lion Lays Down with the Lamb
Hallo!
Finally back at it after a busy summer and fall film season....and it feels good! I was lucky enough to have my first project back be in celebration of a new life. One of my lovely friends is expecting soon and is in need of a little something for her nursery. I'm hoping this will fit the bill. As always, nursery projects are something I love to do and such an amazing reason to celebrate.
I Made It!
Hallo!
I wanted to share this photo that was sent to me by the soon-to-be parents of the panda and archery loving munchkin. My illustration was lucky enough to make it on to the nursery wall, and I couldn't be happier! I love seeing my work make it into a munchkin's room! Thank you John and Janine for letting my work be a part of your child's life. And congratulations! Just a few more days now!
Adventure Is Out There
Hallo again,
Just finished this little piece for a friend of mine. I hope it finds a place in the nursery! I absolutely love doing pieces for nurseries. I wish I could have blown this one up to be a life size wallpaper/decal. Hopefully I get the opportunity to create a nursery wallpaper mural again soon. Check out the one I did for the film 'The Greens are Gone' below!

Slay Ride
Hallo!
A belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all! I want to share this years Christmas card and SCBWI December challenge with you. The challenge tagline was 'Sleigh Ride From Hell' which I turned into 'Slay Ride From Hell'. Really, I just wanted an excuse to draw raptors!

Finished Product
When I last checked in, I was working on a challenge piece for a SCBWI competition. The submission date has come and gone, so I feel ok with sharing the finished product. Below is my take on the one and only Little Red Riding Hood. I had a lot of fun working on this and I'm looking forward to finishing the next challenge. (Due in only 10 days! Eek!) But I'm most excited to finish up the new and improved manuscript for the book I've been working on for an eternity. Once that submit button gets hit, I'll be able to begin preliminary illustrations. Although I've had to scrap the hard work I've already put into it, I'm excited to start fresh and approach it the right way. Yay for progress!
