Happy Book Birthday and big congratulations to my hubs for the release of The Game Masters of Garden Place today!! It's a wonderful story about a group of kids who play Dungeons and Dragons and find their fantasy game characters show up in real life. Of course it's inspired by Jamie, and he was involved with part of the kernel of the idea several years ago. So proud of Denis that he was able to develop a fantastic, entertaining, many layered tale out of one conversation they had while walking to the Shelter Island Library. 😃😃 I just love the fantastic cover Illustrated by @pixelshuh_official! @delacortepress @randomhouse #shelterisland #kidlit #dandd #gaming #larp #larper #dragons #middlegradebooks #middlegradefiction #bookish #bookstagram #booknerd #bookrecommendation #bookshelf #books #bookworm #book #reading #booklover #read #reader #booklove #library #bookstagrammer #author #kidsbooks #kidsbookstagram #raisingreaders #middleschool

Felt like painting flowers instead of people today. A peaceful antidote to today's news... #watercolor #myart #flowers #floral

Swipe left to see the time lapse of a quick sketch I did on Procreate. Having fun! #procreate #art #illustrator #icecream #dog #summerfun

Did some sketching at the dog park yesterday and experimented with Procreate. Nikki met Lola and they are now soul sister Shibas! #shibes #shibainu #procreate #sketchingdaily #dogsofbrooklyn

Finally finished @stephfizercoleman ‘s amazing #stephfcskillshare class on Skillshare.com Now if I can only figure out how to post time lapse videos.... wasn’t able to export this into my photo file... when I look on idrive, it’s not showing up. If anyone has advice, please share! #procreate #myart #cacti #succulents #illustrationartists

Messing around, trying to learn Procreate. Still tend to fall back on Photoshop. Imported this and finished there. But learning a lot from @stephfizercoleman 's awesome #procreate class on Skillshare!! #newskillz #puppers #babies #teething #puppersofinstagram #art

Did my civic duty today, and now I am released for the next eight years! This was done from life in the waiting area. I ♥️ Brooklyn!😊 #peoplewatching #peopleofbrooklyn #civics #watercolor #lifedrawing #ink #myart #people #dailysketch

Happy Father's Day to the dads! #kidlit #childrensbooks #watercolor #myart

Saw this beautiful woman at Starbucks yesterday and wanted to paint her. Thanks, @kristenbalouch for the slate for the food photography! It works for these too! #watercolor #dailysketch #mixedmedia #woman #myart #ink #gouache
