Feeling the need to sketch this morning. So here’s my first #5minutesketch that probably was more like 15. @dsantat gave me #pirate kickstart. #kidlitart #sketch #process #doodle

#sketching today. It’s amazing how styles change with projects that are in ongoing development. #kidlitart #comics #characterdesign

F&Gs arrived for the conclusion to the #EpicFrogSaga by Dev Petty myself. Out this fall!

Author copies arrived! This book turned out so great. Can’t say enough wonderful things about Both Jill and the publisher, Dial, and the great folks there! Out Jan 23rd. #kidlit

Pretty cool to find a book I did that gets to hang out on this shelf. #kidlit #robertmunsch
