Another silly creature appeared from the ether.
Another silly creature appeared on my copier paper this week. It was drawn with ballpoint pens.
Playing around with Krita since my students enjoy using it.
Thanks!
It’s been ages since I posted anything. I’m finishing the second Mack Moon book while still teaching. This doodle was created with a brush pen, gouache, and pencil on newsprint. I wanted to try something less cartoony but on the creepy side.
I was playing around in my sketchbook, and this thing appeared. #sketchbook #sketch #doodle #moleskine #pencil #whiteout #characterdesign #robot #kidlit #kidlitart #graphicnovels #picturebook #instaartist #instaillustrator
Thank you for the wonderful review!
If you live near the Bangor, Maine area, I will be signing copies of my latest illustrated book, Mack Moon and the P.E.T.S. Stop by to pick up a copy and shop for other great books at The Briar Patch. #kidlit #kidlitart #graphicnovel #booksigning #illustration
MACK MOON AND THE P.E.T.S. is an SLJ comic/graphic novel pick of the week! 🎉https://goodcomicsforkids.slj.com/2025/01/06/mack-moon-and-the-p-e-t-s-this-weeks-comics/
What a great day! Mack Moon and pals are invading bookshelves today! Thanks to @andrewsmcmeel.bsky.social @jenniekendrick.bsky.social Don Jolly, and Working Partners.

A big THANK YOU to my new followers! Thanks for helping me with the move.
Howdy!!!
I’ve deleted my Twitter/X account and will be more present here.
Thank you! Thanks for sharing my post!
After 2 plus years of work, I can at least share the cover of book one in the Mack Moon series. This graphic novel will hit the shelves in January 2025. A BIG THANKS to Andrews McMeel, Elizabeth at Working Partners, Ron Jolly, Hannah McGill, Jennie Kendrick at Red Fox Literary.
I did this sketch during a drawing demo using a colored pencil on copier paper. The highlights were enhanced with white paint.
I love drawing wonky hair and this character has a lot of it. And attitude.
It’s been ages since I’ver posted any doodles. This one appeared at the end of a ballpoint pen. I would love to do a graphic novel in this loose style. #sketch #doodle #ballpoint #ballpointpen #character #characterdesign #robot #kidlit #kidlitart #graphicnovel #kidsgraphicnovel #picturebook
Likewise, my friend!

Thanks, Debbie! I’m a kidlit author and illustrator who creates picture books and graphic novels. You can find my work at https://www.smilingotis.com. Here is a sample page from a graphic novel coming out in the spring of 2024 with Andrews McMeel.
