Phew! I’ve made it to Day 9 of the Inktober 2025 art challenge. I’m pushing myself to do all 31 prompts (hopefully before the end of the month). Here’s a little run down of my ink illustrations so far. Micron pens and watered down ink are my tools of choice. #Inktober2025 #Inktober

I’m playing catch up with Inktober prompts. Today I inked out Day 4: Murky, Day 5: Deer and Day 6: Pierce. Let’s see if I can get to the next few prompts tomorrow. I’m challenging myself to draw all 31 this year. #Inktober2025 #Inktober #kidlitartist #sketchbook

Let’s all support our local libraries, and also purchase banned books this week from our local bookstores. 📚#BannedBooksWeek

Just a reminder that it’s the first of 3 super moons this year: the Fall Harvest moon is tomorrow night. Get all your witchy spells ready. Also, it will be just so beautiful. 🌕#harvestmoon

Inktober Day 2: weave - Here’s my ink drawing of Ann Radcliffe weaving a spooky Gothic tale. I’m going with a Dark Academia theme this year. #Inktober2025 #Inktober

Sometimes you get so much advice about portfolios and how or what you should do to be a children’s book illustrator, and I think I often need to remember that our main job is to draw children and animals. So, if you’re stuck, just practice that. Draw adorable animals and children. #kidlitart #kidlit

I’m 3 years worth of drafts in, sketchbooks full of sketches, scribbled down notes, and I’m finally starting to see my picture book come to life. It’s titled, Laughter In The Trees, and it’s inspired by my own experience moving to Australia as a child. #kidlit #amwriting #amdrawing #kidlitart

I’m participating in the #BugsInBloom2025 art challenge. And having a lot of fun drawing and painting some of my favorite subjects: moths, botanicals & night garden scenes. I am really drawn to dark cottagecore style art and inspiration. I’m following a group of artists who created the prompt list.
