Hi #kidlitartpostcard day! You snuck up on me again! Honestly I'm a bit busy these days, but open to smaller illustration projects, covers, magazine work, etc!

The leaves are changing, and there's a nip in the air! Time to migrate! (South for the birds, cozy cafes for me)

#folktaleweek day 6 (which I am posting late) is storm.

But aren't storms the Best time to be indoors with friends? Books have once again connected people together.

The weekend is busier than I expected, don't know if I will make the deadline for today's post either 😅

Day 5 of #folktaleweek is charm.

Oh look! The mysterious furry critter is a friend! And is that the same book in their hands? Looks like another book fan!

There's no better way to charm and make friends than sharing the love of books

Day 4 of #folktaleweek is Book.
There's nothing better than spending a rainy evening with a cozy read under the light of the mushrooms.
Good thing our fox hero always carries a book with him just in case of unexpected rain!
Oh wait, whose that? Friend or foe?

#FolktaleWeek Day 3: Rain

This young blue frog did everything the opposite way his mom said. If she told him to go right, he would go left. If she said stay in, he would go out. (1/?)

Day 2 #folktaleweek Echo.

Our little fox is lead to a cave in the woods. He hears an echo, but is it his echo or someone else's?
Should he go inside?

It was a dark night of the soul for the Snollygoster when he realized he was out of snails. The competition for the World’s Best Chef was the next morning and he was running out of time to perfect his snail soup recipe.

For #FolktaleWeek2025 I wanted to once again make sure I included some Canadian #folklore. So for the Day 1 prompt Night I knew what to illustrate!

This lino block print illustrates the famous French Canadian folktale of the Chasse-galerie, or the Flying Canoe. The tale tells of some hardworking 🧵

Day one of #folktaleweek is dark! Our little hero is making his way through the dark woods, following a path lit by mushrooms? Is this a good idea? We'll see!

A little sneak peak for #folktaleweek. Trying my best, little by little, to put some art together for this challenge, which I'm inspired by each year, but don't always have the time to participate in. But 15min a day seems to be making me some progress.

Little two page squirrel study. They continue to be tricky to figure out base shapes. As I was drawing these I kept thinking how organic their shapes are.
fun to draw but tough for figuring out consistency.
