These bags are from Tuesday. Does anybody else draw on their kiddos’ lunch bags? I'm creating extra bags this year in hopes of doing something for charity with them. Don't mind the lack of imagination with my characters both having open mouths. 😬😆

My boys tell me what to draw for their snack bags at camp. This is my third year making these and they knew exactly what they wanted me to draw for the first two of the summer. #kidlitart #lunchbagdoodle

Do you like the summer sun? Or do you hide in the shade? If you’re anything like me you burn too easily and so I hide away in the summer or get sunburnt.

Lest it go under-appreciated I just want to point out that for Gina to do this is a BIG deal within the #Kidlit community. It's scarier for illustrators to switch platforms than it is for publishing pros, like myself. Illustrators are risking more. It is an act of bravery. Thank you Gina! 💙❤️
