A seeming bit of history tonight as Ghazala Hashmi becomes the first Asian American to win statewide office in Virginia - and the first Muslim woman to win statewide office *anywhere* in the United States.

I have submitted the final art for my current book project. The author loves it. I AM FREE! I will now take my post-project week long rest and then use all my spare time getting ready for the holidays and cleaning. Huzzah! ✨

True connoisseurs know that the day after Halloween, when all the leftover body parts go on sale, is actually the best day to begin construction of your monster.

The youth has recognized us as THAT house for Halloween! The kids were waiting in line and hyping us up saying we always have the best stuff AND we give out books. I'm so happy they're actually excited about the books. We had 7 trick-or-treaters our first year here. Last night we had about 30!

Happy October! This month I wanted to draw what kindergarten class would look like if one of them was a witch.
I am an illustrator interested in telling fantastical and funny stories, and I am looking for representation. #kidlitartpostcard #witch #kidlitart #illustration #halloween #inktober

Watching young children's programming like Weather Hunters, Carl the Collector, and the new Blue's Clues makes me feel like I missed a calling for writing. With all the trash there's still some really good kids tv out there.

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard Day!

I'm Santi Casares, an author and illustrator of children's books in search of representation. I decided to create this spooky illustration because who doesn't love Halloween? Honestly! :)

Portfolio: www.santiagocasares.com
A floating ghost seems to be having a conversation with a jack-o-lantern. In the background we see a spooky victorian house that has a single light on. Underneath is the information of the illustrator: Santi Casares, an Author/Illustrator in Search of Representation.
