Happy Valentine's Day! I love celebrating this day. Beyond dates and roses and candy hearts, I see it as opportunity to celebrate all kids of love; between friends, family, pets and significant others.
Wishing you a heartwarming #ValentinesDay.

The best compliment is hearing my client's little girl, whose mom commissioned me for illustrations featuring their #dogs, loves the illustrations. 🥰
These were so fun to draw! And for a very special place in the house (the nursery)

Writing is hard. Illustrating is hard. Editing, designing, marketing, publishing...it's all hard.

So you have to choose your hard, because just about everything worth pursuing won't be easy.

Illustration with bright colors and painterly textures. In the back left there is a girl peeping out from behind a bush. She has black pigtails. Next to her is a purple path that leads downwards and towards the bottom right. On the path is a golden tan dog with a pink basket in its mouth. In the basket is an envelope with a heart and cupcakes with hearts and red liners. In the bottom right is a boy with brown hair and eyes in a red shirt. He is smiling as he moves his left hand up to his face in surprise. He has pink cheeks with freckles. To the sides is green grass. There is also a green bush to the right of the path and a tree trunk in the top right corner.

Reminder than instead of Amazon, you can use bookshop.org, instead of Kindle you can use Kobo, and instead of Audible, you can use Libro.fm. And if you are lucky enough to have a local indie bookstore, please shop there!
Bookshop.org: Buy books online. Support local bookstores.
A better way to buy books online. Every purchase financially supports local independent bookstores.

An illustration of two bowerbirds inside a birdhouse full of objects of various shades of blue taped to or pinned to the walls, including a plastic fork, a bottle cap, buttons, a sponge, and a post-it with a drawing of a bluebird. One bird stands on a stool taping up a stamp with an image of Earth, while the other bird holds the stool steady. Text: "Now their space was to their taste."

Children’s book illustration of a cool bear wearing a color block t shirt, listening to head phones, and riding a skateboard. The image is arranged in several spot illustrations showing the bear first riding his skateboard with music notes around his head symbolizing that he’s listening to music. Next he stops his skateboard as he notices a smell drifting through the air. The next spot illustration shows him sniffing with his tongue hanging out. He continues to follow the amazing smell down the page until his board hits a curve and sends him tumbling onto the grass. The last image shows him landing in front of a little bunny who is eating a pizza. The bear looks like he REALLY wants a bite of that pizza!
