#quilt for #calmtober #KidLit #KidLitArt #illustration

Getting into the spooky mood, one Coraline drawing at a time. 🖤🪡🐈‍⬛ ‘When you’re scared but you still do it anyway — that’s brave.’”

The Coraline audiobook has been keeping me company lately, and I couldn’t resist starting a spooky little fall-inspired drawing because of it 🗝️ Here’s a sneak peak at some of the details #WIP

Who likes their cowboys undead and hungry?? 🧠 🍔 My WIP has me way too excited as this book gets ready for submission 😊😊

My face when this guy goes on SUB this spooky season 😆🤠😄

I am super excited to be apart of this event tomorrow! 😄

Heat wave of a 100 ° calls for lobsters and cokes by the beach ❤️ Happy Summer Vacation to me!!

Hyper fixation but make it an idea for a PB title I just keep saying over and over again

Absolute sincere advice: Print your project out at least once, and read it out loud at least once. You will find SO MANY things to fix and smooth out. You'll hear repetition and inconsistencies. If you print it out, the book will be more real in your head.

Brier Marilyn is an author-illustrator who balances carefully coloring inside the lines with letting her artwork spill beyond them. She creates stories that blend humor and heart, with sunlit storytelling and illustrations that not only burst with color but are packed with hidden surprises.

I’m beyond excited to say I now have not one, but TWO agents! (If you told me this a month ago, I’d call you cuckoo 😜) Huge thanks to @bookfairyangus.bsky.social & @ashleedani.bsky.social Here’s to more stories as fun as 🧀🐶 and all the art my brain can dream up. 💛

SO excited to finally share the news we’ve been sitting on for months! Huge congrats to @booksbygemma.bsky.social for her two book deal with Podium for her traditional publishing debut. THE SLEEPING KEY will be available in print, e book, and more 👀 (which we can’t announce yet).

Being grateful & giddy is an understatement 🤩 I officially have the coolest AGENTS! 💚 @bookfairyangus.bsky.social @ashleedani.bsky.social @howlandlit.bsky.social

@ashleedani.bsky.social and I are SO excited to be co-representing @howlandlit.bsky.social first author-illustrator for our growing kidlit list! @briermarilyn.bsky.social sent us the PB of our dreams and we fell in love with Cheese Dog. She is also open to illustration work.

Team @howlandlit.bsky.social made me a gorgeous new #MSWL brochure. Here’s what I’m looking for when I open back up to queries in May.

Rainy Saturday treat… The green flavor is called Upchuck 🤢 We couldn’t help ourselves—we had to try it! (Spoiler alert: it was actually super yummy!)

After so many ups and downs in the swirling world of all things art & writing… 🌱 VAGUE 🌱 things are happening and I don’t know what to do with myself!! 🤪

#WIP Crayola Colored pencils… you have a special place in my heart ❤️

I love Epcot… that is all 💙

Never underestimate the power of crayola colored pencils… here’s my creation from my art classes this morning! Portrait drawing is one of my favorite things to teach, and this random lady on Pinterest sparked my artsy fartsy brain this morning. My students love when I create beside them ❤️ #wip

Happy Friday everyone! Here was my poll for my middle school art students earlier this week. What’s your thoughts? Maybe I’m bias as an art teacher- but I think art is everywhere and in every subject! 🎨

My middle school art students were asked an important question: Do you think you have to be “good” at art to be an artist? Here are the results- what are your thoughts?

I still can’t get over that my boy turned four just a couple days ago. I’m sure every writer/dog parent thinks this, but he needs his own book!

Does your family have a ‘traditional’ meal passed down through the generations?🧆🍽️🍲 🥘 #kidlit #pb

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day!

PB of the day. 📚👍

Cheese-Dogification happens to only the Gouda-est pups. When your dog turns to cheese, survival tips are a must—no nibbling, avoid mice, stay cool! ‘How to Care for a Cheese Dog’ is a hilarious #PB guide proving a dog’s love is always the cheesiest kind of unconditional. #LuckyPit #PopupPitA

Quote repost with your favorite art with stars ⭐️ 💫

One of my students asked me today “what do you wanna be when you grow up? “Should I be flattered that they think I’m not an adult yet, or offended that they don’t think being an art teacher is a job? 😂

If you see this post a #dragon! #illustration #kidlitart #dragonart
