Happy Halloween!! 🎃 Repost of an illustration I made a couple years ago. I did start a new illustration of my little witch kitty but wasn't able to finish in time. Maybe next year I'll finally get it done. 😆 #HappyHalloween #halloweenillustration #witchkitty #kidlitart

@zahirstudioyk Thank you so much! ☺️

@RochelleSteder That's cool ^^

Garrett is a little unsure what he should write for this assignment! This is part of an illustration from the book "Get Out Your Paper" written by Renee Hayes. I have more art to share from this book but haven't had much time to sit down and prep them for posting. #kidlitart

ATTENTION ARTISTS/CREATIVE PROS Your website could be the reason you're being passed on jobs. Where you post your portfolio is as important as the portfolio itself. As a working illustrator/Art Director, here are tips for the number 1 glaring issue most artists have. Here's a🧵

Barnes and Noble is having another "25% off pre-orders" sale, which includes my upcoming picture book "The Bakery Dragon" if you want to snag a copy!!!

It's going to be super hot this week, so I think this illustration is very fitting! This is a cropped portion of a spread from the book If I Were A Camel written by Alicia Kennedy. I'll post the full illustration soon. 😁 #kidlitart #picturebookillustration #childrensbooks

@cherrynanamim Thank you so much! 💖☺️

Excited to announce my picture book has moved on to the design stage! So thankful for the amazing and extremely talented @RochelleSteder who truly brings my words to life and is helping make my dream a reality! #illustration #kidlit #picturebooks #amwriting

Woohoo! Finished my latest book project this week! Final files have all been sent out to the publisher! Can't wait to share the illustrations but will have to wait until the the book publishes in the Fall . 😁

@digidrawdude Love this happy little busy bee! 🐝

It’s fun being a children’s book illustrator. 🐝 Illustrated in Affinity Photo 2 with their stock brushes (Dry Media—Pastel & Chalk brushes) #affinityphoto #madeinaffinity #kidlit #kidlitart

Authors - can we please try and include the illustrator in your first post when promoting a book - especially when you’re using the artwork to promote it! Seeing a new fad where the illustrator is tagged in a follow up post 😕🤷‍♂️ #picturesmeanbusiness

World map I produced for Igloo Books, as part of an activity set. I've shown a closeup of some of the animals too. #worldmap #Globe #illustrator #kidlitartist #childrensillustrator

@VanishaSukdeo Thank you!! 😁💖

@RochelleSteder Very cute!

I didn't draw any Easter themed artwork this year, but I did crochet these cute, fuzzy bunnies to give to the kids. 🧶🐇 Bunny Buddy pattern by andshelaughscrochet andshelaughsblog.com/bunny-buddy-fr…

Going to make my first crochet blanket! It's going to be a light lapghan for my office when it's a little chilly. I tested out a couple swatches to see which pattern I enjoy working up the most. 🧶

My portfio books have arrived! Love the quality and am looking forward to showing these at Bologna 😀 #Illustrator #kidlitartist #bologna

@SamukovaArt @LitAgentSaritza @AndreaBrownLit Woohoo! Congrats!! 🎉

I FINALLY finished this big needle felt project I've been working on; it's a bird mobile for a friend who is expecting a baby. There's 12 different species of birds featured. Photos included in the thread, but for now here is a nice video I took of it :)

@K_Bolte Oh my goodness this turned out beautifully! The details on all the little birds are amazing! Lovely work! 💖
