Here is a published spread along with some of the initial sketches of that spread from my book ‘You’re My Boo’ written by Kate Dopirak (Beach Lane Books imprint of Simon & Schuster 2016) I worked with a totally awesome art director on this book and together we kept pushing the characters and layout to make the art stronger and stronger and to have it tell a story. After many sketches we finally settled on this consecutive, sequential layout for these simply worded pages. I think it was spot on! So fun to look back and see how your process unfolded. @the_cat_agency @beachlanebooks @katedopirak #picturebookmaker #dummybook #sketches #illustration #illustrator #illustrations #illustrationartists #illustratorsoninstagram #kidlitart #kidlit #kidlitillustration #artist #artistsoninstagram #cartoonart #fox #anthropormorphic #process #makingabook #backtothedrawingboard #artistslife

Looking through all the thank you for visiting our school cards I got a couple of years ago, when Bunny Bus first came out! (Yes, it’s Spring... that time of year again) Was such a thrill to receive these cards and I still love looking at the sweet messages and creative ways the kids drew Bunny Bus. @the_cat_agency #childrensbooks #childrensbookillustration #childrensbookstagram #childrensbookillustrator #kidlitart #kidlit #schoolvisits #art #artistsoninstagram #artist #elementaryart #cards #thankyoucards #kidsarethebest

Busy and fun weekend! Went to the Falmouth Science Fair and Girl Scouts world thinking day. (We were the Austria booth). Fit a couple of great walks in too! Trunk River to Woods Hole and back. And The Knob never ceases to amaze me. #momanddaughter #sciencefair #falmouthsciencefair #girlscouts #worldthinkingday #worldthinkingday2019 #trunkriver #woodshole #shiningseabikepath #theknob #exploring #outside #hiking #spring!
Happy first day of Spring! Here’s some of my succulent ‘work plants’ (which I adore looking at during the day) sitting along with a truly ‘Spring’ looking card that I illustrated here at Viabella. Looks like I had some inspiration, huh?!! @viabellacards #spring #firstdayofspring #greenery #cactus #succulents #greenhouse #garden #plants #mothernature #warmerather #card #greetingcards #greetingcarddesign #art #artistsoninstagram #artist #illustration #illustrator #illustratorsoninstagram #inhouseartist #lovemyjob #yayspring

I’ve been a big Beatles and Paul McCartney fan since I’ve been young, so so thought I would draw Paul for the portrait challenge. What a amazing talent he is! ❤️Paul. #portraitchallenge #portraitchallenge_2019 #portraitpainting #portrait #penandink #drawing #art #artistsoninstagram #artist #illustration #illustrator #blackandwhite #digitalart #paulmccartney #sketch @paulmccartney #paulmccartneyandwings #paulmccartneyfans

Was so fun to paint this piece for the portrait challenge! Hedy Lamarr was such a fascinating woman. The movie about her life, called ‘Bombshell’ is fabulous. I highly recommend it. #portraitchallenge #portraitchallenge_2019 #portraitpainting #portrait #digitalart #digitalpainting #art #artistsoninstagram #artist #illustration #illustrator #hedylamarr
Thinking I like the black and white version better. (This is a piece I made several years back of Edgar Allen Poe). #portraitchallenge #portraitchallenge_2019 #portraitpainting #portrait #penandink #drawing #art #artistsoninstagram #artist #illustration #illustrator #blackandwhite #crow #edgarallanpoe #poe
