I'll be DAM! It's #kidlitartpostcard day! I'm an NC illustrator who loves to draw quirky kids, cute critters, and nature. Love to sink my teeth into PB projects that have humor and heart. Drop into my inbox and let's talk books. #kidlitart #illustration 🌐 www.jennbower.com

There's something new on the drawing board that I'm working through. Some pieces are so intuitive. NOT this one. I've struggled with decision-making every step along the way. Does that ever happen to you? #wip #illustrator #illustration #kidlitart #picturebook #childrensart #portfolio #folktale

i am sorry but you are just going to have to either learn not to despair or learn to get things done while despairing, this is still the one place in the universe where we are sure there is life and it needs you more than you need to read another headline that drains 110% of your energy

Happy Fri-YAY!! I'm hanging out with this fool. What are ya'll doing to distract yourself from the tyranny in our nation today?

Here are three pieces of life advice for survival under a government that hates you, from a Native. None of them are going to be the prepper bullshit I see currently circulating around- that's all bad advice, by the way, that one's free.

It's #kidlitartpostcard day. In a time when division shouts louder than unity, I'm leaning into a softer side of patriotism - friendship, warmth and the art of peaceful coexistence. When the world has gone nuts, art can remind us to choose connection, celebrate kindness & share the warmth of LOVE.

It was time to refresh my #kidlitartpostcard page dates and gallery. Our next event is July 3rd, just two weeks away! #kidlit #kidlitart

Freedom is the ability to live your life without fear. Sometimes, that means restraining the powerful to protect the people. Freedom means being safe, access to opportunity, a healthy environment and the ability to live your life on your own terms, not according to someone else's religion.
