A blond haired brother wearing an orange t-shirt and brown shorts holds hands with his blond sister, who is wearing a red dress and an orange sea anemone head band. They are both wearing green flippers, masks, and snorkel tube while floating in space above the Earth, which takes up most of the image. The moon is rising beyond the horizon of the Earth and stars are in the dark blue background. The work is painted in digital watercolor. Marie-Laure is written over a cloudy part of the earth in jumbled letters next to the text "Picture Book Illustrator, ml.couet@gmail.com, marielaurecouet.myportfolio.com."

Hi #PortfolioDay , I’m Mike and I love drawing fun, colorful characters, animals, and situations. I'm repped by @vickyweberbooks.bsky.social and I'm especially looking for middle grade cover work. See more of my work at mdashow-kidlitart.carrd.co or linktr.ee/mdashow #kidLitArt #illustration

In a spooky night-time scene, a girl - approximately 14 with shoulder-length brown hair and wearing jeans and a denim jacket - crouches on a dirt driveway and looks behind her in consternation. Behind her is a large dark house with peaked gables and spiky points sticking out of the roof and a tall tower. The top floor of the tower is lit - the only illumination in the house - and a figure is silhouetted in the window. Behind the house are fir trees and a huge full moon. the entire scene is in spooky greens and blues.

An illustration of a hippopotamus ice skating in the Olympics. She's got a lovely lavender dress on with lots of sparkly sequins on it. She looks very graceful and happy.

A panicked apprentice witch (she's human, with pink hair, glasses, and light academia clothing) makes a mess of her cauldron while being calmy advised by an older, wiser witch (who is a bear.) Aside from the exploding cauldron, the browns of the scene make it warm and cozy.
