Let them eat cake

Hot off the presses today, a design/illustration for Best Forevers Podcast.  I hear there will be t-shirts, so start taking your measurements! Or perhaps wait until after you have eaten your cake...

ArtPath Revival

The ArtPath art that could... This piece has been through a lot... damaged by a kid w/ a stick (Thanks to my friend for rescuing it during her run!) I was able to repair it and remount on some weird scrap metal from Friedland. With the help of another friend's truck and my incredible partner who lived w/ it clogging up our tiny house, lugged all 5ft of it to the site, made a risky climb over the river water into a spidereee bridge that smelled a little like pee so that it could hang safely and he could have a happy wife and an arty community. 

These are not things I could have done myself. So if you see any of these beautiful people, please thank them for going the extra mile to support #LoveLansing #PublicArt #LansingArtGallery and a more beautiful river trail. #OaklandBridge #CantKeepArtDown #ArtPath

Oxford Comma

I was honored to create a couple medical illustrations featured in my smarty-pants sister (and recently tenured) Dr. Bridget Sweet's new book, soon published through Oxford University Press.

I've always been an anatomy nerd, so this was a lot of fun to flex some science muscles this summer!

Froggy Freebies

©2018 ME

Spring 2019 is going to be popping with free pre-order swag to help celebrate the release of And the Bullfrogs Sing, summer 2019!

Which means, summer of 2018 involves a lot of freebie design on my part... I live and work IN THE FUTURE.

Here's a sneak of the art for upcoming bookplates in a classic black and white illustration format.

New Cuttings

I had so much cutting these free-form organic pieces.
Expect more!  SO MANY MORE!

New Book Alert!

Calamity Jane and the Wild Horse Race

Pioneer Valley Books has recently published a tall tale about Calamity Jane that I was lucky enough to illustrate.  This is a very fun early reader with an emphasis on literacy for all kids.

The books are also priced extremely well and group discounts apply.  You can order straight from their web site. 

In Living Color

What is THIS I see?! Why it's all the color spreads for my bullfrog illustrations that will be published by the amazing Holiday House in 2019, looking back at me!

It always feels extremely satisfying to see illustrations reach the color draft stage.

Soon we will make those final tweaks and then I just sit back, bite my nails and wait for it's book birthday!
