Whoops! Had a busy Thursday and missed #kidlitartpostcard day!
My name is Aislinn Hird, I'm a recent graduate from Pratt Institute's illustration program, and I am seeking representation. This piece is from a book that I wrote and made the dummy for this fall, "Bertram's Big Bower Day."

Re-sharing this illustration because it fits right into the #scbwidrawthis theme, "OOPS!"
This is a spread from "Bertram's Big Bower Day," a picture book about a satin bowerbird that overcomes his social anxiety and perfectionism by leaning into spontaneous kindness.

Hello, #kidlidartpostcard day!
This piece is a sample from my thesis project that I just completed as a 2025 Pratt BFA Illustration graduate---I'll be sharing some more of this project, soon. It's a Scottish Gaelic folktale I was able to adapt into a forty-page picture book!
Slàinte mhath!
