 I'm just getting started on instagram and most of my followers are under 18. While I am proud of my cross generational appeal, I wouldn't mind mixing it up a little.... stop by and visit!

If you know me, you are aware of the fact that I'm not much of a dancer. I think I missed that window, and now it's definitely too late...
But I've been doing my research, and I have a few dance illustrations in the works, just for fun.
I hope you are having some fun too, spring is coming!

happy PI day!

My daughter has been looking forward to this day for a long time.  Although I do believe it has more to do with  her appreciation of pie than her love for math; her teacher promised to bake a pie for the student who memorizes the highest number of digits in PI. (more than 90 at last count!)

A lot of things are in the works around here, even if this space is rather quiet.
This is a rough sketch for an assignment I'm very excited about. I get to do the cover and interior black and whites for a rather intriguing chapter book - I'll tell you more when it comes out.

Hi little blog!
 I'm very happy to be doing black and white illustrations for a chapter book - one of my favorite things. (more on that later, of course) So almost everything on my desk lately has been black and white; pencil drawings, pen and ink, and some silhouettes and papercuts. I'm also learning about patterns and drawing a lot.

As early spring flowers pop up around us though (I know, the perks of a southern life...), I've been experimenting with my watercolors and it's been a lot of fun.



I'm even on Instagram now, check it out!
