Lyle Visits Mr Mothman ☕️🍰🧿✨
I’ve been doing a lot of exploration with Lyle & his neighborhood. Lots of fun figuring out what his neighbors are like & what type of interactions Lyle may have with them. #kidlitillustration #kidlitart #kidlitartist #jackalope #mothman

I’ve been pretty absent on social media the last few months, and here’s why. Working on a new adventure, coming at the end of April 💙💙💙

Mr Pumpkin’s Bouquet of (Poisonous) Flowers
🎃💐🍂
I mean, he doesn’t know they’re poisonous (but Winston does). They’ll look pretty in a vase on the kitchen table though, so you take them with a smile. Mr P has always been so thoughtful 🧡

✨🍃 End-of-summer vibes 🍃✨
More from the jackalope story I’m working on. Lyle has stopped to say hello to his neighbor Mr Lake, who always has an ice cream sandwich and a story on hand to share.
