A digital illustration of a girl drawn in 5 poses. The first one is her in a happy pose with her hands on her hips and her right leg is slightly bending. The second one is her in a karate outfit performing a kick. The third one is her angrily seating on the ground with her head slightly turned down and arms crossed. The fourth one is her in her pajamas yawning and stretching. And the fifth one is her hiding her face in her hands but one eye is peeking through her fingers.

Two kids explore a hallway in a dark mansion. They look worried, and the boy holds a flashlight. The hallway is lined with paintings in ornate frames, all of the eyes of the paintings watching the kids. We can see the shadow of some sort of horned monster coming up the stairs. The information on the card reads "Michael Dashow, mdashow-kidlitart.carrd.co, represented by Vicki Weber with Creative Media Agency."

An illustration of children and their dog enjoying their day in a field of sea pinks, on an island somewhere I imagine in the northern hemisphere, reading and drawing while surrounded by puffins. Done in Procreate.

Vintage neon signs - I absolutely love them. So imagine my happiness when visiting the „Buchstabenmuseum“ in Berlin. A place where these beautiful old fonts find a new home, after the shops, hotels or restaurants have forever closed their doors. #neonsigns #lettering

I love coming up with stories and illustrating for children, starting out in 2018 with writing my first book: „Matti und Max“ (published under my pen name: Sandra Lehmann) - illustrated by my talented friend, Manja Adamson. These days, I enjoy combining my imagination with illustrations.
