Oh, Drew Struzan. Most movie posters are digital these days, but there was something truly luminous about his work. (I am partial to his Indiana Jones work, but he made posters for so many other movies, Muppets, Star Wars, and Back to the Future to name a few.)

The rest of the illustration needs a bit of work, but I quite like how this very blue bird turned out. (Brush and blue ink.)

Happy first #KidLitArtPostcard Day of 2025!

I am an illustrator seeking representation. This illustration is digital, done in Procreate, but I also love ink and watercolor. I dabble in a little bit of everything - PB, CB, MG and GN projects. Visit www.melissatisonart.com to see more samples.
An illustration postcard. The text on the far right side reads “Melissa Tison illustration.” The text below the image reads “www.melissatisonart.com / mtisonart@gmail.com”. The illustration depicts a grey squirrel falling out of a tree in three stages. The trunk of the tree is brown, the sky is blue and the leaves are green.
