My newest piece I have been working on from my PB manuscript based on my childhood experience. I loved the clack and feel of mahjong tiles!
What delighted you as a child growing up?

A boy stands surrounded by (normal sized) lemons. He carries a giant lemon, almost bigger than himself. We only see part of his face peering around the edge. He looks pleased with himself. Text reads Nicola Schofield, children's illustration. Rep by Sally Kim @ ABLA

A skateboarding alligator (wearing a button up shirt over a tee shirt) does a trick on his board at a skate park as a bunch of different animals look on. Palm trees and a beach are in the background. The text on the card reads "Michael Dashow - Illustrator - https://mdashow-kidlitart.carrd.co/" and my e-mail address

The girl is bent down, looking under the bed for her dog, Benji's toy bone, who is helping along by looking under the pillows.

This is my first #KidLitArtPostcard post!

I'm currently working on building more work for my illustration portfolio and developing new projects. This cover is a new project I'm writing and illustrating as a book dummy for a reimagined fairy tale✨

#kidlitart #childrensbookillustration
The image showcases a book cover for a reimagined fairy tale titled: Goldibot and the Three Gears. The central figure is a gold robot and above her are three small gear characters surrounded by the title text. The surrounding imagery is a geometric forest in greens and pastel pinks.

Every day, I try to do something to SIMPLIFY my life (whether a big thing or little thing). My reminder note has already fallen down once from where I have it displayed, but I've taped it up again.

Today: I got my email inbox down to zero again. Unsubscribed from more newsletters.
