Oliver and I are loving the new @supersimpleofficial song, “When The Band Comes Marching In.” Had to draw the cutest trumpeter ❤️🎺 • • #supersimplesongs #kidlitart #digitalart #marchingband #illustration #ipad #procreate

The back cover art for the @youngstrackes record has been one of my most detailed #watercolor pieces so far! Gosh I love this gazebo, modeled after the one located in #WellesPark ❤️🎨 • • #illustration #chicagoparkdistrict #kidlitart #childrensillustration #artistsoninstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/Bl6WuWoAqL2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=96nk3z5049o7

OMG! You guys, it’s finally here! I got my own copies of the @youngstrackes record that I illustrated the front and back cover art for! It’s so surreal to be holding a physical project with my art on it! 😍 (Swipe ➡️ to see close ups) • • #watercolor #mixedmediaart #digitalillustration #kidlitart #childrensillustration #folkband #folkmusic #artistsoninstagram

It’s always fun when I get opportunities to illustrate at work. I created these character concepts for last night’s episode of #ManOfThePeople on #WGNTV 😊 (at WGN-TV)

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss! I did this illustration from one of my favorite stories, The Sneetches #StarBelliedSneetch #drseuss #ipadpro #procreate #speedpaint

I took the plunge and invested in the #iPadPro and the #ApplePencil. I haven’t had a chance to play around with it too much (because of a sudden appearance of a mouse in our house 😖) But I did this quick sketch before heading to bed. #procreate #speedpaint
