Tiny Leaf Bug 

A bug that looks like a leaf. These unique bugs don’t all look alike, but they do have one thing in common: This katydid is even called the “false leaf” bush cricket!

Before the winter began I took this photo of an adorable bug that looks like a little pea in a pod or a leaf. He’s smaller than my thumbnail. Too cute #Uplift

an illustration of a little brown acorn with arms and legs holding on to a yellow oak leaf as it drifts downward, surrounded by other leaves in tones of yellow, orange, and brown. A speech bubble from the acorn says, "BeLEAF in yourself,"

A celestial child costumed as a rabbit takes a bite out of the moon while a boat sails along a river. Stars dance against a dark teal colored sky while orange lanterns floats on the water.

A tiny autumn fairy-- in tweed pants, cap, and coat-- is carrying a heavy acorn and is about to fall because their pet ladybug is running between their feet.

It's #KidLitArtPostcard day!

I’m queer, neurodiverse #KidLitArt illustrator who favors
- sketchy lines
- painterly color
- playful patterns
- luscious lighting
- quirky characters
- tons of texture
- sweetly subversive humor
