Rain: Yeti forgot to bring an umbrella for the rain in London. His fish and chips got soggy. @folktaleweek.bsky.social #folktaleweek #folktaleweek2025 #westminsterpalace #kidlitart

Echo @folktaleweek (Not as finished as I wanted it to be but gotta move on to the next prompt!) Yeti yodeled along the Alps. His voice echoed from Austria to Switzerland. #folktaleweek #folktaleweek2025 #kidlitart #swissalps #matterhorn #yeti

Night #folktaleweek @folktaleweek.bsky.social (I worked on this yesterday until late at night) Yeti has decided to finally leave his home and travel the world. It was night when he walked along the Great Wall of China. #yeti #kidlitart

Matilda the mole lives in a hole that’s more like a maze. She bounces around starting a new idea before finishing the other one and leaves items where they don’t belong. #kidlitartist #kidlitart #illustration #animalillustration #childrensbookillustrator

The class has a little witch. She does things differently, like making friends with crows during recess. #kidlitart #inktober #illustration #witchtober #littlewitch

Happy October! This month I wanted to draw what kindergarten class would look like if one of them was a witch. I am an illustrator interested in telling fantastical and funny stories, and I am looking for representation. #kidlitartpostcard #witch #kidlitart #illustration #halloween #inktober

I’ll be sharing some writings in my notebook today, starting with this one.

Here is a detail close-up of an unfinished illustration I’ve been working on, a view inside the home of a mole. What kind of family pictures do you guys frame on a wall? #kidlitart #illustration #undergroundhouse #animalcharacterdesign #kidlitartist

Last week I made a post on Substack for my newsletter. This was one of the drawings I made learning from a few picture books from the 1950s. The original had stereotypical looking natives, I wanted to make an attempt to draw them differently #kidlitart #childrensbook #kidlitartist #dtiys #trains

If I was a fantasy adventurer, I would definitely be fooled by a mimic. I made this for a newsletter about drawing from picture books called Dungeon Delving for Grimoires, I mean Library Books. You can read the latest one here: open.substack.com/pub/kayleens... #frieren #comic #dnd #kidlitartist

Summer is a great time to read the classics, like L. Frank Baum. I had a lot of fun making this illustration, especially the Cowardly Lion. #wizardofoz #kidlitart #kidlitartist #childrensbook #illustration #illustrator #lion #characterdesign

Here is a drawing I made from a picture book in the 1940s: Blueberries for Sal, by Robert McCloskey. It was for a bigger project I shared on Substack: open.substack.com/pub/kayleens... #kidlitart #artstudy #inkdrawing #illustration #bear #childrensbook

I drew this handsome viking based on an art challenge word prompt: Killer Beard #viking #drawinghair #illustration #sketchbook #artchallenge

This I made inspired by a word prompt art challenge: “traveling necromancer” I did the lettering by hand, it was fun to make letters look like old west style typography #dndcharacter #tiefling #dndcomic #comic #western #cowboy
