#kidlitpostcard #kidlit #illustration Hey all, I’m Sandy, a Canadian author/illustrator. I actually played one of these clunkers when I was 12 (against my will of course). Now I can illustrate it and pretend I was amazing, though the sour notes are more accurate.

#100dayproject #kidlit #illustration Carlotta Klee on Insta has great quick prompts. She does more watercolour and I used felts but I think they both work and was fun to do. Day 60 of 100

Give some love to new #CDN publisher: MIGHTY VILLAGE BOOKS @mightyvillagebooks.bsky.social. Pleased to present my interview with founder author-illustrator Danielle Daniel (remember her award-winning SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE A FOX).

The hardest rejection: "This is great...but not for me." Agents often say no to projects they know will sell. But what does it mean? Why would they do that? Do agents hate money? Your book? Books in general? No. Join Kelly Van Sant to walk us through subjectivity, love, and finding your best fit.

#100dayproject #kidlit #illustration #barbie #gingham #vintage Quick! My day’s almost done - day 54

I’ve been drawing behind the scenes on my iPad and not in my sketchbook, so I haven’t posted here for a while. But I needed a break from being able to correct what I don’t like and live with my mistakes, it keeps me real even if no one looks. 53/100 #100dayproject #kidlit #halloween #pumpkin

Hey writing friends: Here's a free online seminar on grant writing for Canadian writers (including the recent Canada Council for the Arts funding portal update) with author, grant writer, and educator Lindsay Zier-Vogel. Friday, November 7, 2025, 11 am to 12:20 pm. #CANkidlit

FYI of a new scam I keep getting lately: Someone tries to log in to your Dropbox, fails & requests a link, so you get a password reset email from legit Dropbox. Immediately followed by a real looking follow-up from someone allegedly with Dropbox support but a @dropbox.zendesk email. Don't click 👍

There has been an effort for a while now to make my drawings more cartoony/have diverse shapes and silhouettes. An attempt to counter same face/body syndrome. So here's a character design practice, drawing the Spongebob characters as humans.

So much cool art in one place 🤗✨😍❤️

PLAGUE THIEVES is nominated for the Saskatchewan Young Readers’ Choice Awards — Diamond Willow 2025, and has been shortlisted for the IODE Violet Downey Book Award for 2025 and the SCBWI Crystal Kite Awards 2025. pub by @cormorantbooks.bsky.social #kidlit #CanKidLit #PlagueThieves

Bringing it to 🦋 by request: People hate their own art because it looks like they made it. They think if they get better, it will stop looking like they made it. A better person made it. But there's no level of skill beyond which you stop being you. You hate the most valuable thing about your art.

I regret very much that none of my books are available in braille - so far anyway - but here's an invaluable free library for children and adults so please pass it on to anyone who can use it.
