A festive story full of laughs and rip-roaring family fun, this riotous read-aloud adventure will bring everyone together this Christmas.   I had a festive blast working on this latest personalized book.

More spooky behind-the-scenes. The Woofmore is Not Haunted is written by @lorihaskinshouran and @dgephartwrites , and published by @abramskids / Amulet Books. Out now. Order link in my bio.

I’ve been illustrating children’s books for several years now, and it has been a fantastic experience. However, lately I’ve been looking for ways to grow my illustration business and offerings. So, earlier this year I decided to hire a business coach to help with these endeavors. In March I started working with Logan ( @flammable_entrepreneur ) and his team, and the results have been fantastic. We took a hard look at my core business strategies, target markets, goals, mindset, and more.

Earlier today Logan, Vera ( @vera.drmanovski ), and I hosted a webinar where we discussed breaking into book illustration. You can re-watch it through the link in my bio. You can also win a free coaching call with Logan by filling out a short survey (also found in my bio).

Oh, and in case you’re wondering about my setup in this photo, here are the details:
Computer: Mac Mini M1 16 gigs of ram 1Tb HD

Is #throwbackthursday still a thing. If not, I’m doing one anyways.

I drew this a few years ago and is still one of my favorites. Who’s ready for Halloween season?
