‪Hi #KidLitArtPostcard day! I’m Mike and I love creating fun, character-driven work, both spooky and funny (spunny? fooky? 🤔)

Two kids explore a hallway in a dark mansion. They look worried, and the boy holds a flashlight. The hallway is lined with paintings in ornate frames, all of the eyes of the paintings watching the kids. We can see the shadow of some sort of horned monster coming up the stairs. The information on the card reads "Michael Dashow, mdashow-kidlitart.carrd.co, represented by Vicki Weber with Creative Media Agency."

Children’s book illustration of a cool bear wearing a color block t shirt, listening to head phones, and riding a skateboard. The image is arranged in several spot illustrations showing the bear first riding his skateboard with music notes around his head symbolizing that he’s listening to music. Next he stops his skateboard as he notices a smell drifting through the air. The next spot illustration shows him sniffing with his tongue hanging out. He continues to follow the amazing smell down the page until his board hits a curve and sends him tumbling onto the grass. The last image shows him landing in front of a little bunny who is eating a pizza. The bear looks like he REALLY wants a bite of that pizza!
