Unfortunately, like many small businesses, I'm having to suspend shipping to the USA due to the removal of the 'de minimus' exemption. I'm hoping it will be temporary since I have a lot of US customers and this will hurt my business quite a bit 🤞

I finally reached 1k followers over on Instagram, so to celebrate I'm doing a #DTIYS challenge 🥳

Feel free to do it in any medium (no AI). No deadline, but do tag me in your posts and use the hashtag #sashaDTIYS1k so I can see your wonderful pieces and share them 🎨

#kidlitart #illustration #art
A 'Draw this in your style' challenge set by me. The illustration is of a ginger haired girl who's wearing a dragon horn headband, a yellow spotty t-shirt and blue trousers, reaching down to stroke a cute pink dragon. She's surrounded by green foliage and other small dragons. One dragon is reaching up to her, one is on her head, one is flying above her and 3 others are hiding in the bushes.

Zaphod Beeblebrox...the perfect excuse to design some truly terrible clothing 🤣. It was a lot of fun 😁

#hitchhikersguidetothegalaxy #fanart #scifi #kidlitart #illustration #characterdesign
An illustration of my interpretation of the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy character, Zaphod Beeblebrox. He has two heads (one with lime green hair and the other with blue hair) and three arms. He's dressed in the most garish, colourful outfit (for he is the worst dressed in the universe). Pink trousers, white stockings, blue striped top and an angular multicoloured jacket with pointy, wide shoulders. He's in an arrogant pose.

At the beginning of the month I entered the 'Meow? MEOW!' competition run by @picturehooks.bsky.social

Unfortunately, I didn't win at all, but here's my entry ☺️🐈‍⬛🐝

#kidlitart #kidlituk #illustration
An illustration of a black cat on a big rock looking down at the bees flying around a wild flower meadow. An illustration of the black cat in the previous illustration launching into the air because their curiosity resulted in a bee stinging their nose. Their nose is swollen and they've kicked up lots of grass and flowers as well as knocking over the rock. The bees are flying around the cat.

We believe the Supreme Court – which disgracefully refused to hear from trans people before its decision last week – has placed the UK in breach of its obligations under the Human Rights Act.

So we’re readying a challenge – join us:

Their next album cover
A photograph of a black and white cat called Cobweb, sitting in front of a black cat called Pączki. They're both looking into the distance to the right, almost like they're a band and it's a photoshoot for their next album cover.

Pretty sickened by UK's Supreme Court 🤮

So I'm opening my submission inbox to unagented trans authors in the UK until the END OF APRIL. I'm not currently open to general subs BUT if you're a trans author writing folk horror, weird, experimental, mystery, literary/upmkt fiction, take a look below 👇
