Feeling the need to sketch this morning. So here's my first #5minutesketch that probably was more like 15. @dsantat gave me #pirate kickstart. #kidlitart #sketch #process #doodle

#sketching today. It's amazing how styles change with projects that are in ongoing development. #kidlitart #comics #characterdesign

F&Gs arrived for the conclusion to the #EpicFrogSaga by Dev Petty myself. Out this fall!

Author copies arrived! This book turned out so great. Can't say enough wonderful things about Both Jill and the publisher, Dial, and the great folks there! Out Jan 23rd. #kidlit

Pretty cool to find a book I did that gets to hang out on this shelf. #kidlit #robertmunsch

Playing around with Salty Quackers in pixel form to show the controls for my fake game #arcade cabinet.

[thatmikeboldt]

Side b of the #arcade cabinet will feature Chop Sue, Jussi Fruut, and Magnum A.I. (Last was brilliantly named by @2dcale). Bit more to go on the sides, then onto the front art.

Arcade cabinet side art progress. Really enjoying creating this made up game.

[thatmikeboldt]

More progress on the #arcadecabinet artwork. Got Cap'N Blast and Salty Quackers here for names for these two so far.
