I Am A Mammal

 I Am A Mammal!

Here are a few pages from a little book that I wrote and illustrated for Frog Street Press!

FUN! FUN! FUN! 



(front cover)


This was from a page that said that mammals come in all shapes and sizes.
"Some small as mice, some big as,"... you guessed it.


"Giraffes are tall with necks that are long,
Rhinos have horns and they're great, big, and strong. 
Elephants have trunks that hang down to the ground,
Cheetahs have spots, and gazelles jump around."





"Walrus and seals have flippers for feet.
Otters crack oysters for something to eat.
Dolphins glide through water with help from their fins.
Whales head up north when summer begins."


(back cover)

Also a pick-up of art from the first spread.
"My teacher told me that I am a mammal.
So is a dog,...So is a camel."

Stop Bugging Me!

 Stop Bugging Me!💖

(Another one from 2020)

Some books are just plain fun to illustrate. This was one of those projects for me.



I loved this back cover as well as the front!💚



Some bugs bite!




Some bugs sting!!!


Bugs are not all bad.


Some bugs are even good!


And some bugs make us happy!

Silly Stew!

 Silly Stew!

This was a fun little book that I did more recently in 2020.

I didn't write it. I just wish that the text could have been a little sillier.

Oh well, it was still a fun one to illustrate.

Enjoy!



What do you serve 9 of your closest Monster friends?



Silly stew of course!




Begin with 1 grape jellyfish.


Silly Stew for everyone!

Sunny Day!

Sunny Day!💛

In truth, it has been a while since I did this artwork but 

I thought that it was a good day to tend to my blog.

It has been several years since I have updated my poor forgotten blog.

Enjoy!



These are a couple of the cover images from some coloring books that I illustrated
for Golden Books/ Random House Children's Books in 2018.

Here's a sample of the interior black and white inked pages.
Also a blue line sketch.





This was a huge project series for me with over 128 illustrations in each book. 
I'm tired just thinking about it! 😜😁
