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!

A monotone illustration of a kid standing in a spotlight from an alien space ship. They appear to have just gotten home from a vacation and are wearing sunglasses, and wide brim hat, a neck travel pillow, holding a vacation drink, and a fanny back that contains some sort of small creature with 1 eye. On their ear is a cattle tag labeled “011”. Text reads: sydney stone kidlit illustration rep’d by Kelly dyksterhouse

It's #kidlitartpostcard day.

In a time when division shouts louder than unity, I'm leaning into a softer side of patriotism - friendship, warmth and the art of peaceful coexistence.

When the world has gone nuts, art can remind us to choose connection, celebrate kindness & share the warmth of LOVE.

Summer’s here, and so is my #kidlitartpostcard! This one is packed with some of my favourite things – warm summer nights, starfish, kayaking, watching seaweed dance in the water… and mermaids.

Whimsical children’s book illustration showing a parade of chickens marching down a city street. The chicken in front carries a long flag made of red white and blue while squares, arranged in various configurations of Stars and Stripes. She is pulling a wagon with three chicks in it. Behind the chicks marches a hen wearing boots and carrying a drum, which she is beating as she marches. Behind her comes a duck, looking grouchy and pulling a cannon, on top of which stands a rooster, who looks very pompous as he blows into a golden horn.
