It's an autumnal #kidlitartpostcard day!
The trees are busy changing colour & flinging leaves off in all directions. Huge piles sit around periodically crunchy and soggy. Winter is approaching fast!

A little while ago I was sitting in the cinema, waiting for a film to start. I was excited to see it and had managed to avoid spoilers and generally most information about the plot.
One of the trailers was a 2-minute long trailer for this film, giving away the entire story 🫠

I love the variety of seed delivery / dispersement systems trees have come up with!
These four can all be seen 20 seconds walk from my house this month!
Some hurt more than others if they land on your head 🙃

I think about this a lot and I wonder if part of why I love the books / illustrations I love is exactly because they are not like what I make.
All those different ways of doing stuff has mystery and magic ✨
I wonder if I did make those types of art, would their magic dull a little for me.

I fall in love with stories that tend to be far from the stuff I draw. I dreamily go, "One day I'll make something like that too!" And then prompty launch myself in the opposite direction.

I wasn't completely happy with my #kidlitartpostcard this month, so I've been redoing it. Here's the result! I prefer the colour palette here and I also worked as if I were making it traditionally. (My previous version I tried out aaaaallll the new procreate brushes 😅)
