Orange-toned children’s book illustration of a family at a fall festival. An older man sits on a haystack and plays pumpkin chess with his grandkid while a couple cousins watch (one about to bite an Apple cider donut), surrounded by pumpkins. A parent with coffee looks to the side with a worried smile as their child presents a pumpkin that is about as big as they are! Underneath is text that says “Kris Easler, rep’d by Jen Rofé, kriseasler.com”

Two kids are standing at the top of the staircase in front of a large framed portrait of a couple. One of the kids is holding a flashlight, unaware that the kid behind them is waving hello to the transparent green ghost emerging from the painting, who is also waving back.

Hi #kidlitartpostcard ! A little cat art for today. I think it captures the current emotional moment 🙃

I’m Amanda. I especially love making illustrations in greyscale, with pen and ink.

Rep @kellydhouse.bsky.social at @thetobiasagency.bsky.social
Greyscale illustration of a white fluffy cat atop a fireplace mantel, which is decorated for Christmas. The cat is looking at the viewer while tumping a lit candle over the edge of the mantle, onto a pile of kindling and firewood. The illustration is done with pen and ink line work. The values are flat washes of grey scale.

Do you love color as much as me? It’s one of my favorite things when creating an illustration. I wrote this post all about color, and I even made color wheels!
