Q5: The opinions of opinionated children. They'll tell you the truth.
#SCBWIArtists
Grew up on Ruth Sanderson, Jan Brett, Michael Hague, Susan Jeffers (was sorry to hear of her recent passing) and Chris Van Allsburg. I personally enjoy the whimsy of Bill Joyce.
Common denominator is that sweet pencil/charcoal texture. <3

A3: Museums, learning the stories behind old works of art, re-enactments and recreation artists. Sometimes it's just fun to "DTIYS" with a 1066 Tapestry.

A2: Having time to make work, of course. :)
This little onager has the dubious distinction of appearing in the earliest known illustration of equus in draft.

Concluding #junicorn2020 with this little guy catching up to the rest of the world.
Magic is dramatic, painful, and fleeting. Rather like life.
#junicorn2020 day 28 is "transformation," and this little guy has made a decision from which there are no takebacksies. Or, my continuing obsession with setting all of my #unicornart on fire continues.
Bull's not even that mad. Just disappointed.
Day 26 of #junicorn2020 brings the cow back for one more sketch. I swear I didn't start #unicornjune thinking I'd be doodling this into a multi-step interaction, but there you go.
#junicorn2020 day 24 is "Vanity," and of course this smug ghost/wraith boy has to have a little attention. He may not be corporeal or have any meaningful interactions with the world around him, but gosh darn it he's pretty. Let him have that at least.
One for sorrow,
Two for joy,
Three for a girl,
Four for a boy,
Five for silver,
Six for gold
#Junicorn2020 Day 22: Gold.
#junicorn2020 Day 20 is "chain." Here's a medieval unicorn doodle.
Well, you wanted a pony at this party.
Digging up this lil character to cause some trouble.
Back to #characterart for #junicorn2020 day 18: Rotten.
Another little #graphiteart doodle for #junicorn2020 day 17: Water.
