Spooky... Back From NYC

Two snakes discuss keeping cool is A Cool Summer Tail

I just got back from trip to visit my brother and his family in NYC.

I plan to post the sketches I did soon, but as usual, I come back to a pile of deadlines so I will atone properly for my time off.

Anyway, even if this image from A Cool Summer Tail is not Halloween-specific, many find snakes spooky. (No offense garter snakes...)

Another Birthday Sketch

I have a bit of a sketch backlog, but am super swamped so can only post once in a while.

This is a sketch I did for my sister-in-law's 50th birthday. It is her adorable Bichon Teddy.

Encyclopedia Britannica Kids TouchTAB Illustrations

From the Sensational Beginnings website

I did a selection of illustrations for this Encyclopedia Britannica Kids touchTAB toy and just found out they are available for purchase!

I illustrated the Mammals in the basic pack and the Ocean Life expansion pack.

It was a fun project! As usual, I had to illustrate some animals for the first time including the right whale.

I have a couple new animal projects on the horizon and am learning a lot about more animals I had no exposure to.

Expansion Pack!
