It's #KidLitArtPostcard day!

I'm Luisa, a Colombian children's book illustrator 👋.

This one comes from UNDER ANNA'S UMBRELLA, our book with @amanda-j-driscoll.bsky.social from Rocky Pond (PRH).

Can't wait to see everyone's lovely (and sorely needed) art!

I absolutely adore the artistic diversity of Roald Dahl film adaptations. Few authors have had so much of their work adapted and those that have, like Stephen King or Dr. Suess, can't hold a candle to the drastically different styles choices presented in each and every Dahl project.

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑
Frustrated little dude gripping a pencil saying “how do I pack this down into something I can actually share?” While swirling rainbows labeled “INFINITE POTENTIAL” float around them. Little dude frowns at a tiny grey box, exclaiming “all that work for THIS?!” Little dude shoves the grey box into another little guy’s hands; Frowning, stomping off, and saying “Here you go, I made this, it sucks.” Second little dude cracks open the box, swirling rainbows project out onto their face. Second little dude stares in awe at all the swirling rainbows now floating around them.

Who wouldn't want a world of cats? This fascinating book is full of drawings and information, stories and history about the domesticated creatures of that ilk. It's beautifully produced as you'd expect from @nosycrow.bsky.social @lupencita.bsky.social #CarlieSorosiak

The so-called Department of War has banned nearly 600 books this year from military bases or schools. They’ve targeted books that “promote gender idealogy” or “DEI.” Not surprisingly my book, DOOR BY DOOR (written by Meeg Pincus, illustrated by me) is one of those banned books. 1/

Out of curiosity how do you get consent from a drawing. Like maybe you should worry less about whether or not a cartoon has rights and more about whether real life trans and Palestinian people do
