It’s the first of the month, so Pinch Punch Post is back on deck. This month, the #Dingo takes its place amongst the CRAZY Critters. I had something much more creative planned for this, but I’ve had a lot on my mind lately. I’ll make up for it next time. #PinchPunchPost

Hey Illustrators! #scbwi

It’s October and that can mean only one thing: #Inktober is here! My theme for this year is Creepy Kids, and we’re starting it off with a little girl that always has a weird vibe going, L’il ODD-rey! Don’t let those cute pigtails fool you. She’s up to something! #Inktober2022

I just thought of something the late, great Andrew Clements said to me once. "Some kids read from illustration to illustration like they are swimming from one raft to another." So true, and so well observed.
