It’s #kidlitartpostcard day! I’ll be scrolling! I know a lot of other art directors, editors, and agents will be too. Friendly reminder to use key words that describe your postcard. When searching for illustrators I often search the hashtag with key words and find postcards from years ago. 💙❤️

WOW, what a great writing day! Finished my responses to a written interview. Finished my feedback to a talented kidlit colleague. Sent a fond farewell to a dearly departed day-job colleague. And figured out a game-changing revision to a manuscript I wrote at the beginning of the year.

Some fun fish I made playing around with new art supplies. Oil pastels and ink. Really fun and reminded me a bit like coloring with crayons, except these blend a bit better and I care more about coloring within the lines. ✨ #illustrator #kidlitart
