One of my favourite things I illustrated for The Karate Kid was Mr Miyagi’s bonsai garden. Flip through for process sketches… The Karate Kid is available now.

This is the first time I had the chance to illustrate a case cover that was different than the book jacket. Love the blue print vibe! Check out this illustration that’s hiding under the jacket of Builder Brothers: Big Plans, this first picture book from @mrdrewscott and @mrsilverscott . Available now where books are sold.

A big happy book birthday to the Builder Brothers: Big Plans! This is the first picture book from @mrsilverscott and @mrdrewscott . As a fan of the Property Brothers, it was such a treat to illustrate this picture book for two of the nicest people. Jonathan and Drew are also on book tour now! If they’re visiting a bookshop near you, I highly recommend going to pick up a copy from the brothers themselves. If not, and you’re looking to pick up a copy, follow the link in my bio to find out where it’s available near you!

Another illustration I did for The Ice Chips and the Haunted Hurricane by Roy MacGregor and Kerry MacGregor from @harpercollinsca . Can anyone guess the famous hockey player they ran into on this time traveling adventure?

One last preview from The Buffy the Vampire Slayer children’s book, new from @quirkbooks
What were you afraid of as a kid? I was always afraid of ghosts coming to get me in the middle of the night! 👻 sometimes I think that one night they did! OOOoooOOO.

The back cover from the latest picture book I had the pleasure of working on, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It’s the latest in the #popclassics series from @quirkbooks!
I always loved the library scenes in the Buffy TV series. So many neat old books with fancy covers and old pages. Yay, research!
