Yep this is me! Bangs, bootcut jeans and chucks. Happy Friday! #artist #self #portrait #kidlitart #watercolor #60s #illustrator #womenwhodraw #womenartists #lovemyjob

Letting my brain wander today while listening to the legendary Betty Davis. She was a musical icon in the soul, funk, RandB scene. This was made with sketching and then fingerprinting. So fun to experiment. #bettydavisfunk #paint #sketching #creativehappylife #illustrator #experimental #lovemyjob

Be creative and free! This is my spirit animal, not a stretch when your last name is Lyon. This lion has a mane full of creative ideas just like the ones always swirling through my head. Happy Monday, go fill the world with your light! #becreative #light #lion #artistherapy #childrensbooks

It’s #kidlitpostcard day once again! I love to illustrate people and animals. This is my dog Amos living a life that can only be imagined in art. If you are in search of an illustrator, please reach out to my amazing agent Mela Bolinao at MBartists.I would love to work with you. #kidlit

Today’s doodle was focused on a rattlesnake. I love when your pet can also be an accessory.#lillasstyleplay2025 #highfashion #ink #doodle #rattlesnake #watercolor #vintageclothes #illustrator #kidlit @makeartthatsells @nullsie @lydia.w.graves @illustrate_this_life @antlerwildlingart @tamisha.anthony

NEW SERIES ALERT! Happy to share the new Code Breaker Crew Series. Mysteries were my favorite as a kid and I loved working on these. #mystery #chapterbooksforkids #codes #teamwork #middlegradebooks #intrigue #illustrator #kidlit #blackandwhiteart #coverreveal #series #lovemyjob

I had a lot of fun reimagining a queen of pentacles tarot card. My take has a decisive sweet feel to it. She is tied to nature and abundance. Waking up my creative brain one doodle at a time. #tarot #queenofpentacles #drawingchallenge #womenwhodraw #pencilartwork #watercolor #kidlitillustrator

Happy October! Trying to do a fun piece of art based around a ouija board. Spooky yet fun. #becreative #draweveryday #ghosts #october #drawingchallenges #kidlit #artist #womenwhodraw #artoftheday #makeartthatsells #lillasstyleplay2025 @makeartthatsells @nullsie @lydia.w.graves @illustrate_this_life

October is quickly approaching, time to figure what you want to be for trick or treat! This image is from Busy Bunnies(Carrot Cake Park Tales). #october #fall #costumes #treats #bunnies #halloween #kidlit #childrensbook #kidlitillustration #lovemyjob

This is a PSA from your friend here with a broken foot. Celebrate anyway that you are able to move today, on feet, on wheels, on crutches, on your hands and knees. Just keep smiling and moving one foot in front of the other. This image is from one of my newest titles God Made Me Good.

The cell phone doodle became an image I couldn’t let go! Here’s to the past and future of reading or listening to your books. #lillasstyleplay2025 #cellphones #books #reading #kidsbooks #kidlit #watercolor #treehouse #bookclub #artist #illustrator #lovemyjob @makeartthatsells

Thinking today of the impact of art. It’s a happy place for me to create and hopefully a happy place for those who see my books. This is an image from school Makes You Super written by Haley Hernandez. #arttherapy #happiness #artist #art #kindness #womenwhodraw #childrensbooks #create

It’s #kidlitpostcard Thursday! I’m Tammie, I love creating emotive, fun illustrations, sometimes with an air of mystery. I’d love to work with you on your next project. Please contact my wonderful agent Mela@mbartistsinc .Visit the link in my bio to see my portfolio or hop on over to MBartists.com

Just sketching today an idea that started with just drawing a cell phone. Made me think of all those annoying times when all you want is quiet. I will keep working on this doodle to see where it goes. #lillasstyleplay2025 #cellphones #quiet #books #reading #sketching #lovemyjob #makeartthatsells

One of the hardest things for an illustrator is to capture an expression in very few lines. Today’s doodle prompt is five different noses. #lilasstyleplay2025 #faces #noses #drawingchallenges #womenwhodraw #makeartthatsells #creativehappylife @makeartthatsells

When a drawing prompt says pink platforms I immediately think of my favorites. Can’t wait to wear them and walk! #brokenfoot#lillasstyleplay2025 #drawingchallenges #chucktaylors #pink #platforms #doodle #creative #illustrator #womenwhodraw #arttherapy #makeartthatsells

Another day another doodle, the focus is a 1940s floral chair . I couldn’t help but think of who would be sitting in it. #lillasstyleplay2025 #forties #beingcreative #kidlitillustrator #womenwhodraw#drawingchallenges #makeartthatsells@nullsie @lydia.w.graves @illustrate_this_life @antlerwildlingart

There is something so satisfying about studying a real object and then translating it to paper. Who doesn’t love a good sardine can! #lillasstyleplay2025 #havefun #create #sardine #pattern #makeartthatsells #kidlitillustrator @nullsie @lydia.w.graves @illustrate_this_life @antlerwildlingart

A broken foot and a looming deadline has me posting these doodles a bit late! Today’s theme was a candy bar from another country. #lillasstyleplay2025 #becreative #havefun #befearlesslyauthentic #create #chocolate #womenwhodraw #drawingchallenges #makeartthatsells #greatbritain #uk #illustrator

A little morning brain wake up! I will be posting a morning doodle every day to play with my style, some new brushes and have a bit of fun. #lillasstyleplay2025 #becreative #havefun #befearlesslyauthentic #create #kidlitillustrator #lovemyjob

The long trek home has begun #belize #ohioishome #christmas2024 #vacation

Enjoying some Belizian time before the holidays

Swimming with sharks and snorkeling the reef. Awesome lunch on the beach from the fish caught that morning on the fishing trip. #snorkeling #fishing #sharks #Belize #christmas2024

To say this hike was incredible would be an understatement. Treacherous, amazing, incomparable and thrilled to have done it. Learning Mayan history #Belize #mayanruins #caves #beachlife #wintervibes

How you work when your little beagle is under the weather and you need to stay close by. Thank god for my IPad! #keepworking #beagles #sketching #kidlit #kidlitartist #katiewoo #pets #nojumping
