I drew some characters from 6 popular children’s books in my style!

This was a really fun challenge! 😆 what was your favorite children’s book growing up?

I didn't really expect something like this to be the first piece of work I am proud of since making this blog. But a Lorax zine is too funny not to share. Enjoy the fruits of my Children's Lit course!

Lol, love this weird-ass book my sister gave my kids. Very Over the Garden Wall.

I think the biggest reason it's hard to accept mascot horrors as anything but shock-value weirdness is because they're usually marketed at kids, who will see a guy climb into a robot suit and die and go "that's legit" with no questions asked.

Kids media is important, as is kids horror, so I'm becoming more tolerant of stories that aren't my cup of tea and even learning to enjoy some of them, as goofy as they are.

Yes this about Poppy Playtime

Years ago, I wrote children's #story about an adorable #polarbear cub who goes on a journey in search of a pair of mittens.

The story is dedicated to my grandma.

(Click for hi res) I missed kids lit postcard day yesterday, so I’m swinging in a day late :0 Luckily I finished this spot illustration this morning based on Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series! Postcard formatting inspired by Sir Terry, of course. Contains some helpful information including my Instagram and my Webbedsite! If you’re an agent or even just looking to commission an artist, hit me up :)

"There’s an inventiveness that sprouts from the alternate reality children live in. My son is constantly wrong about things: “This is a bag of sand,” he said, slapping a large bag of soil at a garden center with satisfaction. “A baby deer!” he shouted, pointing over the road at a rabbit frozen in fear in the neighbor’s yard. I think that if I was hit by a truck tomorrow, he would have trouble sitting still at my funeral. Something would distract him, he’d start giggling, go boneless, demand fruit gummies. Because a funeral is an adult idea about how to recognize death. In kindergarten, you’re still learning all the faces. A lot is still beyond language."
