Hi all!

This is a weird ask, but I’m studying #UX design and developing an app for #artists to design digital business cards. If you’re involved in the art world in any way (even casually!) I’d love to hear your insights: forms.gle/XqMLs5QQtefa...

Hi #kidlitcommunity !
Finally finished this blue flower piece after two months! Struggling to maintain my art practice while juggling other responsibilities. Any tips from artists about how they stay consistent and motivated would be greatly appreciated💙

Hello!
My name is Miko Fleming, I am an illustrator posting for the first time for #kidlitartpostcard day! I love drawing cute animals and scenes that tell a story. I would love to illustrate for picture books, board books, and early readers.

My portfolio: mikoflemingportfolio.com
White birds, zebras, blue butterflies and a big blue elephant burst out of a book held open by a girl in glasses and a red dress standing on a tall stool against a yellow background. In the corner, reads: “Miko Fleming”;”illustrator”

A quick reintro: I'm a children's book author and illustrator from New England. My newest picture book, THE KING OF BOOKS, is out July '25. I work digitally and play in collage. I also started #KidLitArtPostcard to help illustrators promote and connect - next date is February 6th! #kidlit #kidlitart
Cover for the picture book, THE KING OF BOOKS. Written and illustrated by Gina Perry. Out from Macmillan on July 15, 2025. Art shows a tiger with a crown in a jungle scene, standing on a stack of books. Elephant, boar, and monkey friends are nearby. Two square collage art pieces. One is a snowy owl on a rocky nest with a crescent moon over a teal sky. One is a penguin on a blue/white rock reaching for a pink star on a green background with a speckled grey ground.

i'm always frustrated by the narrative that lockdowns weren't traumatizing for disabled people. i get it, but as a disabled person who lives alone and for whom isolation is a MASSIVE trigger for my illness, yes, lockdowns were intensely traumatic. disability is not a monolith!

Looking back on old prints I made while I rebuild my portfolio. This piece was my first attempt at #linocut, and even with some very visible mistakes I loved the process and outcome. Definitely one of my favorite #printmaking techniques❤️

I’ve been thinking about lost childhood toys recently, and wanted to draw a little guy waiting patiently to be found by his friend🐻🌿
