BONE + BLOSSOM This is inspired by Alice & Mary from North Woods by Daniel Mason. That book absolutely enraptured me. Daniel Mason is incandescent in his darkness and eccentric in wit. It’s a treasure. I hope you’ll read it. #folktaleweek #illustration #mixedmedia @folktaleweek.bsky.social

Beautiful blues!

So much to love here! Froggy fella is livin' it up!

Nothing quickens my pulse more than the prospect of secrets and treasures in hidden spaces. Ghosts welcome. 🖤 #folktaleweekdepth #folktaleweektrail #middlegrade #kidlitart #blackandwhiteillustration @folktaleweek.bsky.social @andreabrownlit.bsky.social

Here’s my November kids/YA round-up!

I'm Kaly and everyone in 6th grade thinks I'm weird. I was handed a note in reading class criticizing my doc martens with black & white faces and my seat beltbelt with bottle caps. 1996 in a small farming community in Texas. I still have the boots. They're still lame. 🤘🏼

what a beauty! tiny mouse vest in everything!

Everyone give Cat some digital hugs & high-fives!

I want a pink firebird!

Sharing some art to get going<3

BLIGHT #folktaleweekblight I’ve wanted to try the pencil sketch + digital color for a long while! I’d be super psyched to do a darker picture book or middle grade project in the this style. When I have a bit more time, I'd love to try this comp in ink + watercolor! #kidlitart #folktaleweek

GATE for #folktaleweek Me swaggering over to fix up my [okay, not so] dilapidated folk Victorian farmhouse. I used to build architectural models in college, so the paper cut movement beckons me. I shall, however, invest in some thinner paper. ;) @folktaleweek.bsky.social #gouache #kidlitart
