Sometimes characters won't leave you alone. These two are like that. They've been hanging around for awhile hoping I'll give them a stage to perform on. Working on it. #kidlitauthor #kidlitart

Welcome to Bookworm's cozy little home--a Crispy Apple. I do wonder how Bookworm turns the pages, but I'm sure they have a system. I'm working on leaning into more sketchiness. I just love how it adds to the texture. I'm really enjoying this #tinyhomeschallenge2025 #tinyhome

Here's my new offering for the #tinyhomeschallenge2025! This one was a bit challenging as the home needed to be made out of a vintage sewing box. It was fun! I love to sew, but haven't done much of it in recent years. I have a lot of UFO's (unfinished projects) I should finish at some point.

Wallace and Grace and the Owl-o-ween Mystery is perfect for Spooky Season! It's an early chapter book written by @Halexanderbooks and illustrated by me, Bloomsbury. #chapterbooks #halloweenchildrensbook

My artwork and writing are created with human (and chicken) intelligence.

I’ve been struggling to make new illustrations for awhile now. I miss the ease that I used to have around this. I love tiny things so the #tinyhomeschallenge2025 is perfect. I had fun and I’m happy enough with the results.

Happy beginning of September and #kidlitartpostcard day! I’ve been working hard on developing my style & think I finally have it. You can see new work on my site www.pippinmathur.com I would love to illustrate more pbs, chapter books and early gns! Repped by Jennifer Unter. #kidlitpostcard #kidlit

Hello kid lit pals! Question: Experimenting with a mix of digital/traditional media. Loving the tooth of vellum Bristol board, but it's scans a bit 'dirty'. Beinfang Graphics 360 works much better but it's too smooth. Anyone have any suggestions? #kidlitart #artsupplies

And I’m thrilled to end the summer KING tour with today’s event. Phew! I did more than I was expecting for a summer release but all were good. IYKYK. #kidlit

Nordstrom has served me this ad on IG so many times I am now sharing it. I've coughed that shape and color when I have bronchitis. Never once did I think, diamonds! That's what my lung gunk needs! The social media person for Nordstrom did this deliberately, right?

A brilliant and engaging retelling of Andrew Wakefield's fraud. It's a story I know intimately. My children were both diagnosed with autism in the decade when that fraud dominated the discourse in Autism Land. Many of the autism parents I knew where I lived then were personal acolytes of that crook.

I’m participating in the @makeartthatsells Character Play Bootcamp. Tried a newish style for these. Creating emotive characters is my favorite part of illustrating for picture books. I like my characters to get into all sorts of trouble and shenanigans.

Sadly this character resembles me as I wake every morning this year.

Why would a leader tank his own country's economy? It's a key part of the aspiring autocrat's playbook. Tariffs & chaos mean more power & control for Trump. But America has no king. The Republican-led Congress can stop this at any time. Let your reps hear from you. 5calls.org/issue/trump-...

Homelessness is not a law of nature.

Get this for your kids and grandkids—so when they ask what freedom looked like before the reign of the Mad King, you can show them. Let them see the highways that once stretched without checkpoints, the cities that belonged to the people, and the flags that stood for something more than fear.
