Hey #kidlit illustrators, I'm looking for an artist who can capture apartment-life in an urban setting for a beginning reader series with a vibrant ensemble cast and a grayscale interior.

Respond here with images and a link to your folio.

Please no DMs. Agents are welcome to email.

MIST @folktaleweek ~ A little behind and not quite finished, but I wanna chime in anyway because it’s one of my favorite weeks on socials.

Älvdans (fairies’ dance) is a Swedish word for lowlying mist that appears in the summer time.

Setting up my summer “studio”, had to do some shopping on the road as I discovered half way that I’d forgotten most of my water colours, hate when that happens. But I got a cute little w&n travelling kit and also some new brushes for a portrait class I’m taking this summer 🧑‍🎨 #gouache #watercolour

Hiii #kidlit community! Reintroducing myself for the #kidlitmegafeed (not sure how to actually get on that feed though?) 📚 I’ve illustrated seven childrens books, fiction and non fiction, and illustrated/authored one. #kidlitart

Hello to all the new (or returning) #kidlit & #kidlitart folks!

We're working to try to get the community more active, but also, it helps if everyone tries a bit to interact with one another! BlueSky likes interactions - you have to say something to get something back!

Here's some tips to help:

Now that Bluesky is invite free I hope we see even more illustrators, designers, and book publishing people show up.

For your hair 🎏 Kanzashis go way back🪲 Once believed to hold powers to ward off evil spirits, people wore them in their hair for protective purposes. Later on artisans began crafting hair ornaments that could be used as weapons. I prefer cake.

First #kidlitartpostcard of the year!

Hello art directors, editors and agents 👋 I love to draw animal characters, actually all types of characters really, build their little worlds and explore the interiors of their little homes. Looking forward to get to know some new characters in 2024! #kidlit

I still have a lot of Bluesky codes that are earmarked for the #kidlit community. Now that I’ve officially left Twitter, I’m not sure how best to distribute them.

If you know of anyone in need, please invite them to email me. My email address is on my website: www.brianlarossa.com

It's Folktale Week, the best week of the year! Time to see lots of beautiful artwork and dive into folktales from all over the world.
Today's prompt is Lost and this little sad bug is my entry.

Week 5 of the always so fun Illustrating children’s books class, art director Zoë Tucker writes the texts that we get to pick from. This is cover week and the characters are the two little pups I’ve been developing over the last weeks and their mama poodle 🐩🐶⚾️ #kidlit #kidlitart

Hey illustrators and designers, I’m looking to refresh my list of go-to hand lettering artists. If you’re interested in the idea of hand lettering the title of a children’s book, reply here with relevant samples. Please no emails or direct messages on other platforms. 💙❤️
