The Originals x 🏫town

It started w/the refusal to stop asking Qs about her missing sister. Shaming the elder witches, Marci / 16 plays devotee to uncover secrets. Simple until she met him who mocks what she doesn’t know.

Looming 🗡️spell, she must decide between bonds built.

Every October two neighboring witches compete and tie! They know just how to fix their problem… or not. Fierce rivalry leads to a lonely trick or treat night in Ghoul Town! #skypitch

Sketch and sketch some more. I do a rough idea sketch a couple times before drawing out the pieces again and go over another time depending if I’m doing an outline. Spooky season is near and this time around I’m trying to have a few pieces to share! #kidlitart

Hey #kidlit illustrators, we’ve been talking lately in-house about the need for more funny, character-driven picture books.

Let’s do an #artshare. I’d LOVE to see the most infectiously funny and likeable character you’ve ever come up with.

Share samples below. Please no DMs/emails.
💙❤️
