#kidlitartpostcard day snuck in on the 1st day of May!

Ready for more #kidlit books and book covers to draw as well as comics. So much more to see at the new edfredned.com.

Also looking for a new author/illustrator rep.
It’s #GroundhogDay 2026, and it looks like winter has another 6 weeks to go. Don’t shoot the messenger!

I started illustrating this holiday way back in 1992!

Go to edfredned.com and see my book covers, book interiors, and editorial work and then hire me 😊

For #groundhogday 2017 I thought I’d illustrate something more #kidlit related, and birthed the #bucktoothbrigade.

The look back continues! ✨

This was the first #groundhogday I ever did—in 1992—and the premise was simple: The groundhog didn’t see his shadow cuz he was looking the wrong way, and then went back in his hole to prep for spring. It led to a book deal from Wiley.

Back in 2015 when The Force Awakens was coming out there was so much #Starwars fever! So of course I jumped in for #groundhogday.

I’ve been trying not to get political on social media but I can’t fathom anyone intentionally harming a child. But that’s precisely what the govt did/is doing by taking Liam Conejo Ramos away and detaining him #editorial

I’d say we’re already screwed. Stay safe! #winterstormfern

My second ever Groundhog Day illustration from 1993. Yow! I tried so hard to write the text as if a groundhog had written it (!).

If you can’t confidently present your art (to a client, to social media, to someone at a party) then the industry will be so much harder for making a living. It’s the ones who are confident and assertive (but not the a-holes) that will get the attention.

Happy #kidlitartpostcard Day!

I'm Ana and I love drawing anything Halloween themed!

This month, I combined the postcard with today and yesterday's @scbwi.bsky.social #scbwiartober2025 prompt "night light" and "phantom".
