Kent Culotta

My great-grandfather, a professional sailor. From a bad photocopy of an old photograph my father had.

Watch out for this guy today!

So lovely!

I'd be more than happy if he stopped making those crappy movies.

Happy New Year's Eve! This is my art vs. artist for 2025. I did a lot of playing around this year, trying new things. Not necessarily the year's favorites or even my favorites. Enjoy! #artvsartist #artvsartist2025

Wishing the happiest of holidays to all my dear friends and family! 🎄

Four years since we lost this man. His work lives on!

It's been a long time since I was in school, but back then SATs and finals were definitely separate. Maybe because senior year finals might not have covered everything that would be in the SATs? For example I didn't take any math senior year.

Happy Obama Appreciation Day!

Long, long ago I was in line for a movie and Emilio Estevez was a few people in front of me. A buddy of his showed up and they ended up jumping the whole line and went into the theater before the line started going in.

Curses! #KidLitArtPostcard day is here once again! I'm Kent Culotta, an author/illustrator looking for his next big project. #scbwi #kidlitpostcard #june #2025 #picturebookart #mothergothel

Says the asshole who gets free healthcare for life.

Pathetic is a good description. My first thought was "gross."

Always thinking of my Mom.

So MerMay is upon us! We recently saw the new Broadway musical BOOP and thouroughly enjoyed it. And so Betty Boop has been on my mind. So here's MerBetty. #bettyboop #mermaid

Brilliant!

Thank you for reposting!

It's May Day! #KidLitArtPostcard day is here once again! I'm Kent Culotta, an author/illustrator currently seeking representation. #scbwi #kidlitpostcard #may #2025 #picturebookart #onemanband #mayday

One more character study. Not sure if he's singing or playing ball or both? Anyway I had fun with this pose. #singing #playing #kidlitart #picturebook

Another character study...a girl and her rabbits. #girl #rabbits #bunnies #picturebookart #kidlitart

I've been switching things up a bit lately. I love the old comic strips from the 20s and 30s and this is sort of a tribute to that. #comicstrips #picturebookart

The Bear and the Boy are characters I've been developing for awhile. Originally I was portraying them with an ink and wash look, but now trying different ways of drawing them. #boyandbear #picturebookart
