I got visited by three ghosts last night, who were all experts in English grammar.

I've been having a go at creating some new colour palettes. I wanted something with a bright pink/purple. I super like this combo! #kidlitart

Went to a school nativity this morning and one of the four-year-olds was sad because he didn't want to be a camel. He wanted to be a werewolf 😄

Are You Ready??? #ArtAdventCalendar

I completely forgot to post the last day of Folktale week! Here's an illustration of the whole (hole) journey. You see a light up ahead and realise, as you pop out of the hole, that the sun is rising. You've been falling all night. Tonight you'll bring sandwiches! #folktaleweek #kidlitart

As we near the end of #folktaleweek I'm reflecting on how much I enjoyed last year's story. (I had a lot more time last year 😅) Check it out here, plus all the behind the scenes development of the story #kidlitart #illustration nicolaschofield.com/coin-operate...

Folktale week day 6: storm You'd hoped the charm would send you home, or at least to Kansas. But instead you are swept up in a storm. Not knowing which way is up or down any more, you continue to fall. #folktaleweek #folktaleweek2025 #kidlitart

Folktale week day 5: charm How long have you been falling now? Minutes? Hours? Days!? All you know is, you're hungry. You need a way to get home. You start repeating a little charm to yourself. If it worked for Dorothy... #folktaleweek #kidlitart #folktaleweek2025

Folktale week day 4: book So I guess you live in this hole now? Falling forever. Better get used to it I suppose. Luckily it seems to have its own library. You read Alice in Wonderland and think perhaps she was here before you. #folktaleweek #folktaleweek2025 #kidlitart

Folktale week day 3: rain You realise the bottom of this hole is nowhere in sight and relax a little. Droplets of water splash in your face. It must be raining up there! #folktaleweek #folktaleweek2025 #kidlitart

Folktale week day 2: Echo You shout for help as you fall, but the sound just echoes emptily all around you. #folktaleweek #folktaleweek2025 #kidlitart #watercolour @folktaleweek.bsky.social

Folktale week day 1: Night Walking home on a moonless November night, you trip and fall down a hole that definitely probably wasn't there yesterday. #folktaleweek #kidlitart #folktaleweeknight #folktaleweek2025

Today I've been crafting snowmen from felt and toilet roll tubes with my four-year-old ⛄

Flying by the seat of my pants this year! With two days left until it starts, I've decided I'm joining Folktale week! Who else is taking part? #folktaleweek #illustration #kidlitart @folktaleweek.bsky.social

'The Divine Dissatisfaction Of Making Art' - Martha Graham I wrote a blog post about it a long while back: buff.ly/R1gQkEz Does this resonate with you? Martha's quote is one of my favourites, I just love it (see the full quote in the blog post). #artblog #blogpost #makingart #illustration #art

It's an autumnal #kidlitartpostcard day! The trees are busy changing colour & flinging leaves off in all directions. Huge piles sit around periodically crunchy and soggy. Winter is approaching fast! 🌐 Nicolaschofield.com Rep by @sallymkim.bsky.social at @andreabrownlit.bsky.social #kidlitart

A little while ago I was sitting in the cinema, waiting for a film to start. I was excited to see it and had managed to avoid spoilers and generally most information about the plot. One of the trailers was a 2-minute long trailer for this film, giving away the entire story 🫠

Searching #kidlitartpostcard on Flashes vs. Instagram. Instagram shows images from random months spanning years (after an unhelpful AI “summary”), while Flashes lets you sort illustrations in chronological order starting with the latest posts. Why isn’t publishing at large adopting this? #kidlit

From #IPG #socialmedia survey "Nearly half (48%) of publishers now use the platform – a significant spike from 32% just one year ago. More than 4 in 5 (83%) have seen their #Bluesky follower-count rise, making it an even faster-growing platform than Instagram" www.thebookseller.com/news/x-sinks...

Hello #portfolioday ! I am a #kidlit illustrator (of many things) and author (of picturebooks) and here is a little snapshot of my portfolio. For a closer look, head to NicolaSchofield.com I'm repped by @sallymkim.bsky.social at @andreabrownlit.bsky.social #kitlitart #pb #illustration

OUT TODAY ❤️ My brand new author/illustrator book ‘My Friend Billy Whiskers’ is officially in shops TODAY. I hope that you all enjoy it 🦁👦🏻

I love the variety of seed delivery / dispersement systems trees have come up with! These four can all be seen 20 seconds walk from my house this month! Some hurt more than others if they land on your head 🙃 #kidlitart #illustration #autumn

I think about this a lot and I wonder if part of why I love the books / illustrations I love is exactly because they are not like what I make. All those different ways of doing stuff has mystery and magic ✨ I wonder if I did make those types of art, would their magic dull a little for me.

Something I've been thinking about lately. 😽🐛🦋 #kidlitart #illustration

I wasn't completely happy with my #kidlitartpostcard this month, so I've been redoing it. Here's the result! I prefer the colour palette here and I also worked as if I were making it traditionally. (My previous version I tried out aaaaallll the new procreate brushes 😅) #kidlitart #illustration
