A day late to #kidlitartpostcard over here because I’m bad at juggling social medias!

If you’re seeing this then it’s time to hire me to illustrate your next #spooky or #adventurous #PB, #MG, or #YA project!

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day. It’s my favorite time to draw. I’ve been working on a softer style that I think would be a great fit for chapter books or graphic novels.

Hi everyone I started a substack where I plan on going through the process of taking an idea for a comic and creating it from the ground up. I hope you will follow along.

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day. I’ve been drawing this firetruck a lot lately. I decided to give him a little postcard story.
I’m an author and illustrator I enjoy working in board books, early readers picture books and comics. I’m hoping to break into graphic novels.

When time allows I make mini Aquaman comics. I made the first one for a friend during the pandemic. It was a nice break from the computer so I kept making them. I couldn’t post the entire thing here. I included a link to my Instagram post.

Happy to help! I will say, even though illustrators do not typeset their books after they’ve been acquired by a publishing house, studying typography, and lettering, and book design will lead to stronger dummies, which will increase the odds that they get acquired. :)

It’s a bit late but it’s still officially #kidlitartpostcard day. I’m an author and illustrator interested in picture books, graphic novels and early readers.

Can anyone point me to examples of picture book manuscripts? I’ve always made dummy books but now I need to create a manuscript.

Close up of some hidden picture fun. See if you can find the objects. You are looking for a pear, bowl, slice of pizza, and a sock. 😀 #kidlitart

Vintage Golden Books usually have a letter on the last page near the spine which tells you what printing it is. I couldn’t find a letter anywhere on the Color Kittens. I even looked to see if it was tucked under the spine. @joshjlewis.bsky.social Any ideas?

I met all my deadlines so I decided to go on a vintage Little Golden Book hunt. Here’s what I found. All of these were had the same owner. The book “When I Grow Up” still had its original puzzle in the back.
