Hi there! I’m Sherry, an author/illustrator building and improving my illustration portfolio. Speaking of improving…I updated my #kidlitartpostcard from June, and I think it’s much stronger this go around 😊

Picture of three girls in ballet outfits. Two girls on the left in traditional black leotards with pink tutus laugh at a girl in bright pink ballet attire with striped tights and a crown. The girl in the crown looks back with an annoyed side eye expression.

Merry December! It’s the last #kidlitartpostcard of the year, so I thought I’d send the year out in style with this posh little caroling quartet. I’m on the lookout for new projects in both PB and MG. Portfolio kirstenmcgonigal.com rep’d by: @beccalangton.bsky.social of @da-childrens.bsky.social

Cozy Children’s Book style illustration showing 2 mice, a hedgehog, and a mole Christmas caroling at night in a winter, snow covered forest. They are caroling at the home of 3 chipmunks. The chipmunks live in a big tree with a door and glowing windows in the trunk. A mother chipmunk stands in the doorway with light spilling out through the open door. 2 little chipmunks, a boy and a girl, peep out through an upstairs window. The little boy chipmunk is waving excitedly to the carolers below, and the little girl chipmunk is clasping her paws in delight. The ground and bushes are covered with snow. Once of the mouse carolers is standing a bit in front of the others, mouth wide open in song with his hand gesturing dramatically.

This image is one that I've been working on for a book about mythical creatures. This is a water nymph. I created her laying in the water on her back because I learned how to swim as an adult :) I was nervous to learn but when I was on my back I could float along the water feeling totally relaxed.

Hey, who decided to let the animals out at the county fair? 🤪🐷🐐🐥 If you’re an art director or editor looking for an illustrator to bring a little magic to a story, please reach out! Portfolio: kirstenmcgonigal.com rep’d by: @beccalangton.bsky.social of @da-childrens.bsky.social #kidlitartpostcard

Children’s book illustration of a scene at a county fair. In them magic can background are rides and buildings, silhouetted against an evening sky. In the foreground is a stack of straw bales. A boy sits on top of the bales, sharing his cotton candy with a prize winning goat. A little girl is lying on her back on top of the bales, playing with a teddy bear. Dad is sitting slouched against the base of the bales, dozing. His foot has knocked over a bucket of popcorn, and a prizewinning pig is munching on it. Two big trees frame the scene, and the whole painting is done in shades of blue, purple, and pink, emphasizing the evening light.

👋🏼 Hello art directors and editors. Happy #KidLitArtPostcard day! Did you know I like to draw chickens? And quilts too? 😁 Check out my portfolio at kirstenmcgonigal.com to see what else I like drawing, and writing about too! I’m rep’d by @beccalangton.bsky.social of @da-childrens.bsky.social #kidlit

Whimsical children’s book illustration showing a parade of chickens marching down a city street. The chicken in front carries a long flag made of red white and blue while squares, arranged in various configurations of Stars and Stripes. She is pulling a wagon with three chicks in it. Behind the chicks marches a hen wearing boots and carrying a drum, which she is beating as she marches. Behind her comes a duck, looking grouchy and pulling a cannon, on top of which stands a rooster, who looks very pompous as he blows into a golden horn.

Art by Melizza Santram-Chernov

While visiting Martha’s Vineyard and walking the beach I envisioned a kraken far off the shore. The kraken is a legendary sea monster of enormous size, a colossal octopus known for attacking ships. I’d like to think that this kraken is simply playing with the ship and will eventually place it back in the water, no harm done :)
