I took the summer off of social media and it was refreshing! I had time to work on a new book for an indie author, take some time off for family, and just recharge a bit for what’s to come in the Fall. Now I am back with this redraw of an old work, let me know what you think! #illustration #kidlit

Our Halloween peeps are now exploring an old castle, can you see what lurks in there and where we have already seen it? 😊

A redraw of an old illustration of mine. 2025 version vs 2021. My style evolved quite a lot in these years, and it will probably keep evolving. The secret is always practice. #illustration #kidlitart #aliceinwonderland #artistjourney

Selkies are probably my favourite creatures in folklore, every year I go back to them and create a new piece.

Sometimes it’s nice to take a break from drawing, so we can relax and recharge our creativity. Doesn’t that seal look like she has a plan? 😂 Perhaps she has a story in mind!
