Hi all! This is my first #KidLitArtPostcard post. Currently working on developing pitches but am always open to #picturebooks, #bookcovers, and all sorts! My website is in the middle of a rebuild, but find me at Sarahgreenillustration.com! #kidlitart #illustration #mermaids

I love Aida BUT I also love Lemon as a name maybe she’ll have a little cat named Lem??

some recent character development work! Any name ideas? #illustration #kidlitart

Here's a mermaid illustration I did to celebrate almost 10k on insta:) #illustration #mermaid #mermay #characterdesign #traditionalart

I actually made a new postcard, but I didn’t save it to my google drive and I’m currently traveling! Am at Milkwood/a kids book residency program as we speak! So I only have this one to repost. Still in mermaid world! #kidlitpostcard #kidlitart #kidlitartpostcard #illustration

You might’ve heard me say: the goal of a creative practice is to refine what you’ve made until you can bear witness to it with a quiet mind—free from the whisper of an urge to change anything. Thinking this morning that—bearing witness to whatever you’ve made—you should also have a full heart.

I don’t often get the opportunity to make work that explores themes of anger, feralness, or betrayal. But all of those feelings are really relevant for my opinions about the state of the world right now, so this piece has offered a bit of catharsis #illustration #selkies #mermay #mermay2025

I have a new header image! It’s part of an image featuring a selkie, so I think it counts as a #mermay illustration?? #mermay2025

This is insane. Republicans have inserted language into the budget reconciliation bill that would ban states from regulating AI in any capacity for 10 years. from @404media.co www.404media.co/republicans-...

A couple of recent WIPs. I tracked down a couple of vintage Ivan Bilibin books and am really inspired by the use of borders as storytelling motifs! Hope to finish these two pieces this month to go along with my new website launch! #illustration #kidlitart #picturebookillustration #selkies

I have a lot of mermaid sketches in my back pocket, so I’ll share some this month for #mermay !! #mermay2025 #illustration #kidlitart

“We, a diverse coalition of Jews at Columbia and Barnard, wholeheartedly reject the invocation of Jewish safety as a pretense to persecute, detain, and deport fellow students and community members without due process of law.” www.columbiaspectator.com/opinion/2025...

I’ve been chipping away at this big illustration for a while now. I wanted to challenge myself to do some detailed rendering, mostly in spite of ai. And since I didn’t have a deadline attached to this, it’s probably the longest I’ve ever spent on one piece! #illustration #kidlitart #fairies

Hi, I’m autistic and I’m the mayor of my city.

Saw harpies on my way home again #spread #illustration #illustrator

Tbh I wish I was my own cat, peacefully napping in the sun and not having a clue

playing with an idea for my next book pitch! Gotta start with sketches! #illustration

Mahmoud Khalil expressed his political point of view peacefully.   That’s supposed to be permitted in a democracy. If this egregious assault on civil liberties stands, what’s to stop Trump from arresting American citizens who support any cause his regime doesn’t like?

Hello! My first post here is a quick light study I did somewhat recently using gouache. I am an author and illustrator with a BFA from Emily Carr University of Art and Design (as of this May), who is passionate about character driven stories set in fantastical worlds:)

My books final page sans text!! #illustration #pencilcrayon

Artists, PLEASE. This is more inclusive tbh because so many have stopped using social media but still use the internet. They still want to see your work and keep up with you on their own time

the best thing about making art is that it rewards attention. it's a rooting feeling that sprouts from creating; to feel yourself looking, noticing, and improving by that practice.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

Hey #kidlit illustrators! I’m looking for samples of cute, cozy (Cozy? Yes, cozy), anthropomorphic, vehicles for a new board book. Please respond with relevant samples. Please no DMs. 💙❤️ #kidlitart

If Trump can disappear green card holders for protesting war, he can disappear you. If he can disappear visa holders for criticizing him, he can disappear you. If he can disappear asylum seekers for tattoos, he can disappear you. We must speak out now — before there is no one left to speak out.

Hossam Shabat, a 23 year old journalist who documented the genocide of his people left a final message. shared by his team.

i work at a bookstore that supplies books to schools and libraries. tariffs on books would be DEVASTATING for the schools here, which already have very limited budgets for purchasing new books. it appears that both canadians and americans can comment on this form, so please voice your opposition!!

UNIANIMOUSLY!!!

My student charlotte has also been killing it with some book work portfolio pieces!!

Roses are red Violets are blue

My student Kurtis has been working on an illustrated poetry and stream of consciousness book!

My student Maya has been hard at work on a beautiful world building project!

Seafoam green and aqua count, I think!!!

Politics hasn't been this simple in a long time: do you think it's good for one man to exercise unchecked, arbitrary power or not. Those are the two available ideologies right now

Been following the unfuckwithable @resistancerangers.bsky.social here since their inception and decided to make some fan art 🤘☠️🤘 give em a follow if you wanna see what organized resistance in a crumbling nation can look like.

this is literally what I’m thinking about every day man

This year I’ve been wanting to push my details and treat new portfolio pieces as challenges. I def feel my love of oil painting coming thru more and more in my illustrations! WIP!! This shadow is kinda driving me crazy but that’s a problem for another day #illustration #kidlitart #fairies

feels really good to be drawing consistently :0) making stuff is hashtag awesome

WIP! I always wanna do complicated shadow scenes against my better judgment #illustration

I’m generally a pretty quick knitter, but I’ve had quite a few plates spinning work wise so haven’t had as much time to work on this project! I hope I’ll be able to finish the sleeves this week—wanna actually wear this before it’s too warm! #knitting #fiberfriends #colorwork

I set a bunch of goals at the beginning of the fall. One was to draw more kids, animals, and organic scenes. That’s been going quite well, but mostly I’m kinda surprised by the silliest of animal dudes coming out of me

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies. Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE. Funny how that works, huh?
