The Key to Extraordinary

I recently read The Key to Extraordinary by Natalie Lloyd and loved it so much that I made this piece of fan art. It's a delightful book.

I'm incredibly excited to have been asked to illustrate the SCBWI summer conference materials! Here's the banner being used to advertise the conference:

Quackers Book Launch Party!

I'll be having a book launch party to celebrate the release of QUACKERS at Mockingbird Books in Seattle, April 2nd at 1:00 pm.

Cute animals

Some quick little pencil drawings of cute animals.

Happy Winter Solstice

It's that time of year again - time to draw snow and starry skies.

Ah, who am I kidding? I draw snow and starry skies year 'round.

Girls in Trees

Colored Pencil Drawings

Just having fun with colored pencils.

Just a sketch

Lady Ninja!

I recently attended our local SCBWI conference and attended the art director's class, where we were asked to create a series of images based on Jack Be Nimble. So I decided to do a girl ninja, because, well, girl ninja.

Ghost cat and ghost fish now have a gif

The time is right for a ghost cat and ghost fish gif. Mainly because I am waiting for massively giant files to upload.

Beach day

Just a completely normal, average day at the beach.

Angular Snape

I was gripped with the sudden inexplicable desire to draw a very angular Severus Snape.

Happy Solstice

I do not know how to draw a Siamese cat

I keep thinking I'll put a Siamese cat in my book, but then I try a to draw a Siamese cat, and realize that I had better just leave this particular cat breed out. However, should I need to draw some sort of robot cat, I think I've got a good starting point here.

Rapunzel

Mystery of the Mysterious Mystery

Testing out my new Blackwing pencil.

Never Stop Reading

Just watch out for trees, traffic, open manholes, etc.

Yet another mermaid

If you know anything about me, you'll know that I love drawing mermaids and hair.
