Happy Holidays! Have you ever heard of this fantastic festive folktale? The Yule Cat is an Icelandic legend centered around the holidays—an absurdly large cat said to eat anyone (especially lazy children ) who do not receive or wear new clothes by Christmas 🧦🎁🎄

Getting into the spooky mood, one Coraline drawing at a time. 🖤🪡🐈⬛ ‘When you’re scared but you still do it anyway — that’s brave.’”
The Coraline audiobook has been keeping me company lately, and I couldn’t resist starting a spooky little fall-inspired drawing because of it 🗝️ Here’s a sneak peak at some of the details #WIP

Heat wave of a 100 ° calls for lobsters and cokes by the beach ❤️ Happy Summer Vacation to me!!
Hyper fixation but make it an idea for a PB title I just keep saying over and over again
Absolute sincere advice: Print your project out at least once, and read it out loud at least once. You will find SO MANY things to fix and smooth out. You'll hear repetition and inconsistencies. If you print it out, the book will be more real in your head.
Brier Marilyn is an author-illustrator who balances carefully coloring inside the lines with letting her artwork spill beyond them. She creates stories that blend humor and heart, with sunlit storytelling and illustrations that not only burst with color but are packed with hidden surprises.
I’m beyond excited to say I now have not one, but TWO agents! (If you told me this a month ago, I’d call you cuckoo 😜) Huge thanks to @bookfairyangus.bsky.social & @ashleedani.bsky.social Here’s to more stories as fun as 🧀🐶 and all the art my brain can dream up. 💛
SO excited to finally share the news we’ve been sitting on for months! Huge congrats to @booksbygemma.bsky.social for her two book deal with Podium for her traditional publishing debut. THE SLEEPING KEY will be available in print, e book, and more 👀 (which we can’t announce yet).
Being grateful & giddy is an understatement 🤩 I officially have the coolest AGENTS! 💚 @bookfairyangus.bsky.social @ashleedani.bsky.social @howlandlit.bsky.social

Rainy Saturday treat… The green flavor is called Upchuck 🤢 We couldn’t help ourselves—we had to try it! (Spoiler alert: it was actually super yummy!)

Never underestimate the power of crayola colored pencils… here’s my creation from my art classes this morning! Portrait drawing is one of my favorite things to teach, and this random lady on Pinterest sparked my artsy fartsy brain this morning. My students love when I create beside them ❤️ #wip
Happy Friday everyone! Here was my poll for my middle school art students earlier this week. What’s your thoughts? Maybe I’m bias as an art teacher- but I think art is everywhere and in every subject! 🎨
My middle school art students were asked an important question: Do you think you have to be “good” at art to be an artist? Here are the results- what are your thoughts?
