Happy #kidlitartpostcard day! This is a new mock cover piece that is doubling as a promo for @thecatagency.bsky.social. The prompt was β€œAnimals with heart”, and boy does this rhino have a heart for ballet! You can see the passion in her face, despite always carrying a bit of mud on her somewhere.

Hello #kidlitartpostcard day!

I'm a Canadian illustrator and designer, specializing in expressive animals, kids, and nature. I love fun storytelling that's silly, and big on emotions!

I am open to all #kidlit projects, smaller editorial pieces, graphics or book covers.

Happy Valentine's Day! I love celebrating this day. Beyond dates and roses and candy hearts, I see it as opportunity to celebrate all kids of love; between friends, family, pets and significant others.
Wishing you a heartwarming #ValentinesDay.

The best compliment is hearing my client's little girl, whose mom commissioned me for illustrations featuring their #dogs, loves the illustrations. πŸ₯°
These were so fun to draw! And for a very special place in the house (the nursery)

Writing is hard. Illustrating is hard. Editing, designing, marketing, publishing...it's all hard.

So you have to choose your hard, because just about everything worth pursuing won't be easy.

Illustration with bright colors and painterly textures. In the back left there is a girl peeping out from behind a bush. She has black pigtails. Next to her is a purple path that leads downwards and towards the bottom right. On the path is a golden tan dog with a pink basket in its mouth. In the basket is an envelope with a heart and cupcakes with hearts and red liners. In the bottom right is a boy with brown hair and eyes in a red shirt. He is smiling as he moves his left hand up to his face in surprise. He has pink cheeks with freckles. To the sides is green grass. There is also a green bush to the right of the path and a tree trunk in the top right corner.

At the very top in a bold fun orange font it says

Some back story about these froggies. They originally featured in a Valentine's party scene I'm currently working on. But I realized that frogs are too busy hibernating during the winter to attend a party out in the cold, so I had to revoke their invitation πŸ₯². Happy I get to show them off here!
