New Characters

Sweet Girl

I have been working digitally so much with my super neat and tidy wacom tablet.  It felt great to get sloppy and make a watercolor mess.

I updated my Etsy shop

Hi everyone!  I am back on Etsy.  I gave my online store a huge makeover and now you can buy prints of my illustrations.  I will still be selling puppets eventually, but my main focus is selling prints.  Please check it out and give my shop some views and hearts: Kayla Skogh Etsy Store

Character sketch for my newest story

New Baby

Now it is finished!

Almost Finished

I finished the first part of the New Baby illustration.  Now it is a happy little moment.

Here is the sketch to my next illustration.
I just realized my last couple children's book pieces have been a little sad.  Maybe I am exploring the more troubling parts of childhood.  Not everything is always happy talking animals and bright shiny toys when you are new to the world.

Here is another illustration in my newest series. The window in this room will be looking out onto the last illustration I made when it is all folded and cut.

Rest In Peace, Rocky

This illustration is in memory of my very best friend when I was a little girl. I will miss him forever.

I Color Coordinated My Bookshelves

Re-organizing my bookshelves felt awesome. Putting all my books in a new order made me rediscover books I forgot I had.
One of my favorite things is new art supplies. I love fresh boxes of colored pencils or pastels with all the colors of the rainbow organized neatly in their rows, fading from warm to cool, dark to light, blues to purples to reds to oranges. Looking at my bookshelves now makes me think of a fresh box of untouched art supplies and that makes me very happy.
My work station feels colorful and balanced and cozy. I had to spread the joy to Peter's bookshelves to.
