I also started #peachtober25 yesterday with the prompt acorn!

I didn’t want to miss out on either #peachtober25 or #kidlitartpostcard day today so why not combine the two!

Today’s prompt is kite! Also, Hello! My name is El, and I am a Chicago based Illustrator looking for work in picture books! I love bright colors and lively shapes in my art!

It’s back-to-school time. You’re getting new shoes, and your mom is making you do that funny little walk around the store to test them out. #kidlitartpostcard #kidlitart www.eliopictures.com represented by @andreabrownlit.bsky.social

I actually made two postcards this month. Clearly I have too much time on my hands - someone give me a picturebook to illustrate! 😄
