I flew on an airplane for the first time in a decade and to combat my fears I drew this. Inspired by Greta, my bestie's dog who ate the salt water taffy I brought. Whole. With the wrappers. I really want to go full 80's Boris Vallejo with this one. #illustration #kidlitillustration

In typical art teacher fashion I can't throw away pretty scrap paper. Brayer paper is one of my favorite textures ever!! #artteacher #picturebookillustration

I'm Julia and I make art and stories! #kidlitartpostcardday #kidlitart #illustrator #kidlitpostcardday

I know this is incredibly silly but the lighting and the way this table was constructed made it look like the crumbs were levitating. #cool

How many times in a row is too many times to listen to "I Know the End" by Phoebe Bridgers?

Very important question. Which possum are you today? #possum #illustration

This is the part of making books that isn't so glamorous. Writing, sketching, taking ideas and trusting them enough to put on hours and hours of work. This is why we need to support human writers and artists. We put in the work. #kidlit #writer #illustrator #supporthumanartists

Yesterday was #worldrockday and I forgot to post this fine specimen of rock I painted in my book Robinson's New Thing. Painting rocks is my favorite! #rocks #picturebookillustration

At a certain hour of the day I just need A cup of tea A sliced apple A nibble of cheese A hunk of bread And a bit of chocolate.

Me putting in hours and hours of writing time. Hey Scrivner how long will this take people to read? 12 minutes. That's right. 12 whole minutes. #kidlit #writing

A cartoon about my brain. #anxiety #kidlitartist

I found the paper dolls my mom and I made when I was about 5. Mom's is on the left. I love seeing how I tried to copy the way she drew. I remember loving the way she made eyes. My mom is a big reason I am an artist today.

Did you know you could have bread with butter and jam for lunch?

It's #KidLitArtPostcard Day! I'm Julia and I'm a writer and illustrator. I love cute animals and big emotions. The little guys below are a trio that I just might be writing about 🐿️ 🐦 🐿️ (Hammy, Lu and Mars are their names) #kidlitartpostcardday #kidlitart #kidlitpostcardday

Do you know how much faith in yourself it takes to create? To fling paint or words into oblivion in the hope that it makes someone feel something? That's bravery.

It's a really good sign when the Wordle word is in the title of your work in progress, right? (Not today's but a recent one 😉) #writer

Who's going up #ala2025 ?

Being creative and creating something like a book means making a decision every day to work. Whether that's pen to paper, talking to other writers, reading for inspiration or just thinking and letting your mind wander. The process is the reason to do all of this. The product is a bonus. #writing

Detail of what I created to cover an ugly box in my classroom. It had two holes staring at me so I covered them up! I actually cut open the eyes to paint them the correct color. #artteacher #spongebob #edusky #classroom

It's always sad to see the room packed up. The paint splatter cleaned, forgotten projects trashed, materials tucked away. My hope as a teacher is that my students felt safe to create, laugh, and explore. Now it's my time to create. #artteacher #edusky

When I get gifts from students I always make my own thank you cards. #illustration

I got to see my favorite musician over the weekend and here's some of my favorite moments from the evening.

Why does being in direct sunlight make me feel so terrible and drained? Even with sunscreen. Even with a breeze. (I do have a few autoimmune things so maybe that's it. Or I'm a vampire)

Things I've researched today for #kidlit : do slugs have lungs?

I got wonderful news today! I AM STUCK is the 2025 winner of the Charter Oak Children's Book Award. This award is chosen by k through 3 grade students in Connecticut. It makes me so happy to know that so many children love turtle and possum! #kidlit #authorillustrator

Check out Lauren's work it's phenomenal!!!! 🦉

So many awesome postcards today

My menteeeeeee is doing amazing things! 🔥 🐉

Perhaps I had too much fun making my example for my class's illustrated manuscript inspired lesson... #artteacher #avatarthelastairbender #zuko

It's me! Art teacher, author, illustrator, knitter!

What do you like to doodle? #kidlit

Made pork roll egg and cheese for lunch as to appease the NJ summer gods.

Happy #worldturtleday from me and my favorite turtle!

Quote repost with your bird art! This is a page from my current work-in-progress dummy LATE BIRD! 🐦⏰🪱 #kidlit #kidlitart #illustration #comic

I made this in 2020 and it's still accurate.

It's teacher appreciation week. As I'm a teacher you may all now appreciate me. Thanks!

When the librarian is weeding books and you have to take some to make buttons! Do you know the titles of any of these books I made into buttons? #kidlit #illustration #buttonmaker

Artist hack! Pretend you are a little bird making little bird paintings. Everything a little bird paints is perfect. #kidlit

So you know what artists have done for forever? We have sketched from artists we admire. This isn't AI regurgitation, this isn't about a product. It's about learning what makes the greats great. #illustrators #aistinks
