Recent Kid-Lit Illustrations

Read the comic online now!

Right now, I'm in the long and arduous process of finding a kid-lit agent or agency that's the right fit for my work.  My fellow artists knows that this means generating a huge amount of new work- for every piece that's portfolio worthy, there are several that just don't make the cut.  After all, we want to include the best of our best work when applying to kid lit illustration agencies, right?

Below are a few samples of my most recent works

These may not end up in my children's book illustration portfolio, but it's important to have variety to choose from when putting together a portfolio.  Working on interim pieces also allows me to maintain a daily presence on Instagram and Twitter.
