Two frogs sitting around a campfire. One plays the banjo and sings. The other sleeps. The image is a digital painting in mostly greens with an orange fire in the center A digital painting of a pumpkin house on a black background. A ghost mouse with a trick or treat bag approaches the front door. A brown mouse looks out the window at it. They smile at each other A black and white graphite drawing of four little kittens in a four post bed. They’re all sleeping except for one, who is playfully looking out of one open eye A digital painting of a grey raccoon in a bluish grey trash can. He holds up a bunch of trash like it’s the best thing in the world

me on the first day of fall #kidlit #kidlitart
four little characters walking in a line, oh wait! there’s a fifth little guy too. the characters are various critters: a white bat carrying a basket of persimmons on his back, a fox with bangs in a witch hat and a black cape carrying a basket of squash above its head, a capybara in a black witch hat and an orange cape and a giant white pumpkin above its head, a little green skeleton in a black dress holding a tiny orange pumpkin, and at the front a little black crow with a three pronged golden crown on his head. around them are lines indicating a crisp autumn wind, green and orange trees and bushes, and orange and white sparkles. the overall image looks like a group of friends carrying a harvest somewhere an image mixing digital and paper cut elements. two red mushrooms with white spots at the top. two long brown mushrooms maybe like shiitake on the right side. and an orange and green flower on the left, flanked by an orange maple leave. slightly blending in at the top is a very small cat in overalls with a mushroom cap hat on. he holds a long wizard staff. the image is surrounded by copper colored stars. the shape of the composition is in that of an oval. there is a black background three anthropomorphic squirrels trick or treating in a forest. the image is mostly black and white (as in, the trees, the shrubbery, the forest floor, and the costumes of the squirrels) save for the squirrels’ orangey-brown fur color and their orange jack o lantern treat-or-treating bags. the squirrel on the right is dressed as a tuxedo cat — he wears a black cat eared headband, a black onesie with a cat tale, and a white bow tie. he looks behind himself looking sort of ticked off. the middle squirrel is dressed as a witch. she looks behind herself smiling. the last squirrel on the left is dressed as a ghost. she is in a white poncho with a ghost-faced hood. she prances and holds her trick or treating bag in front of her, spilling pink candy all over the floor. her facial expression is teasing and full of humor. the overall image shows three trick or treating squirrels looking back on the silly ghost-dressed squirrel pulling a trick with her treats.

Little bit of red.
A curved floor threshold with a black and white vintage tile floor, pink petunias with a sprinkling of red, and the tips of the photographers red shoes.

In parts of Michigan, you can pick up a fairly ordinary chunk of limestone & with some polishing, reveal a coral formation that was laid down when this area was a tropical sea in the Devonian, 350 MYA.

These are Petoskey stones, the state stone of Michigan.
The same rock before and after lapidary polishing. It's held in a human hand in both instances. On the left, a plain looking white limestone lump, roughly triangular. It has a few pits. On the right, a polished and shiny lump of coral in very roughly hexagonal pattern, a darker grey-brown, with lighter divisions and radiating pattern in each cell.

Illustration of 3 cute dogs standing in a city park. There is an open box of pizza on the ground. A small sign taped to the box says 'bob's pizza - don't touch'. One dog is curiously investigating the pizza.

Reminder: if you are worried about AI replacing you as an artist: don’t use AI voices,
If you don’t want composing to be handed over to AI: don’t use it to write text.
You get the idea.

If you value your job: protect others jobs too.

A pink bag of candy based on the soot sprites from Spirited Away. Colorful konpeito and balls of cookie crumb fall out the ripped bag as a white dragon with green hair (Haku) bursts out. A little girl (Chihiro) clings to the dragon.
