Three Little Pigs 🐽 I love doing some folklore illustration every once in a while and also dabbing in an experimental style that is a bit different. Why just stick to one style? #kidlitcommunity #kidlit #kidlitillustration #kidlitart #illustration #childrensillustrator #childrensbooks #folklore

On the weekend I went for my first bookshop signing ever! It was at the lovely Wallingford Bookshop for #indiebookshopweek! Such lovely, friendly people work there and I was so glad I could come in for book signing and sold some of my books ☺️ #kidlitcommunity #kidlitart #childrensbooks

I’m now on Cara! You come and follow me on there under the username of @luceillustrates! Come and see more of my and many other talented illustrators artworks on there. Instagram and X keeps exploiting the art/kidlit community so it would be good to have an app that actually supports us. #cara

So excited for my new book with Lantana to be coming out tomorrow for the #kidlit community to read ☺️💜

Periodic reminder I have a #KidLitArt feed for folks that post children’s art! It pulls images with the tag. See comment for additional info #illustration #art #artsky #artistsky bsky.app/profile/did:...

Well, I just posted this banner on Twitter and IG and Threads with a call to only post #kidlitartpostcard here and on Cara. So how long before I get in trouble? 😬 Anyway - super excited for Thursday's #kidlit #kidlitart event here!

Earlier this year, my new illustrated book “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” with @scholastic.bsky.social came out! It’s a BSL sing and sign along for the cute nursery rhyme song 🫶🏼 Loved designing the characters for this 💜

Hey Bluesky! I’m back! It’s tiring to be trying to keep up with loads of different SM platforms but this time I want to make more of an effort for Bluesky especially when X and Meta are just so bad now. So please follow for any #kidlit illustrations and book news I’ll be posting here! #kidlitart

✨ NEWS ✨ I'm over the moon to say that I'm now represented by the lovely Alice at ASH Literary for children's books! So excited to see what the future holds for us. #KidLit #KidLitArt #Publishing

Some illustrations I did from The Friendship Handbook by Poppy O'Neill. Had lots of fun designing these kids! #kidlitart #kidlit #illustration

Fuck yeah!

Haven't been on here in a while, but I hope everyone had a great Halloween! #KidLitArt #KidLitArtist #KidLit #Illustration

I don't know about anyone else, but workwise has been so quiet recently. I know it's because of the recession we're in, but I hope it'll be over soon...

Little Witchy Wendy casts up a storm of exploding stars when a spell goes wrong! #kidlitart

I don't think I have posted on here my new book which I had the joy of illustrating earlier this year. "The Friendship Handbook" has loads of different characters throughout and is all about how to make new friends and being kind. #kidlitart #kidlit

New book alert! "Mara Hears in Style" illustrated by me and written by Terri Clemmons is coming out February 2024! You can preorder your copy online now! www.amazon.co.uk/Mara-Hears-S... #kidlitart #picturebooks

I'm going to be travelling in Turkey for two weeks later this week, cannot wait for it! Any recommendations of good food we should try out in Turkey or any good beaches down south near Kas?

Throwback to the amazing #NorfolkDeafFestival where I hosted some workshops and book readings for the kids! I had an excellent time! #kidlitart #workshops

Wish I had learned earlier in my career that you’re never going to be right for every project so just make work that you like and eventually the right projects will find you 👍

Hansel and Gretel find a house made out of candy and cake in the forbidden forest. Really enjoyed illustrating this piece for my portfolio 😊

I feel like many people here on Bluesky don't have pronouns in their bio, especially in #kidlit land. It's an easy thing to do to show you are a trans/queer ally. I personally usually only follow people who state their pronouns.
