Yay! Congrats Kelly Boley! Her book, Albert and the Sugar Bugs is out. It's a fun book for kids about oral hygiene.

Many of us have been angry for a couple of days. It's time for a little levity.🙂

#artvsartist2025: Was a fun & busy year. God provided me with many opportunities. I illustrated many books, most of which proclaim His name & give Him glory. He blessed me with time with local kids at schools & libraries, too. I am grateful to Him & y'all for your support & encouragement. #kidlitart

What a great time I had with these kids today at LaFollette Library! We read Santa Has The Mumps. Then we drew Santa. The kids all colored mine. I joined the kids for cookies & cupcakes after. Then Nancy Green, librarian extraordinaire, let each child pick out a stuffed animal for Christmas.

For the last 12 years I have been illustrating a scene from a Christmas movie. Here is 2025's (LOL!), along with the past illustrations. May y'all have a very Merry Christmas!

How blessed am I that I get to spend time reading and drawing with these precious little ones? After Children's Story Time at LaFollette Public Library, I showed the kids how to draw a butterfly. (Some of them were amazing!) Then they colored my drawing. 🎨💜

The Narrative Art Award. The idea is to tell a story, without words, based on a prompt. This year's prompt is "Tell a story about something that turns out NOT to be a threat." Here is my submission:

What an amazing 2 days! 5 classes & 3 schools! The kids at all 3 schools were so well behaved. LaFollette Elementary School, Campbell County Christian Academy & Jacksboro Elementary School. Angela Roberts read her latest book, Malachi the Monarch, & I talked to the kids about illustration.

Sometimes this life is so hard. We try our best, and fall flat on our faces. We follow our hearts into a pit of despair. We need to follow a guide instead of our hearts. We need a shepherd. #redletterawards #suicideawareness #bible #scripture #psalm23

This weekend at the conference, I got to meet & hang out a bit with @scottsoeder, the SCBWI Illustrator Coordinator of @scbwimidsouth Region. A very talented & all-around super guy. I'm terrible at selfies.
