Happy 5 years to #KidLitArtPostcard ! Yep, this is me as a kid- playing school and teaching my 80s stuffed animals how to read. 🤪 I’m available for picture books and chapter books. I love adventurous, magical stories full of wonder.

Illustration art of a child drawing their dream world. All this while, I've been mostly drawing what my son loves. This time I decided to take some time to think and draw what my younger self loved. I don't think we're that different though! We both love insects, birds and dragons.. Drawn digitally in Procreate and Photoshop

My first time participating in #kidlitartpostcard day! We had a lovely warm Monday here in Toronto which inspired this sunny piece. (Fingers crossed for good weather going forward.) #kidlit #illustrator #kidlitartist

Digital illustration of young Black girl lying on field of grass and dandelion flowers. Her body is cropped to focus on face and upper torso. Her face displays a relaxed emotion as she gazes up at the clouds that cast shadows in various shapes. Her hair is done in two Afro puffs and she wears an orange-yellow graphic T-shirt that reads "illustrator and samillu.ca," referring to occupation and website of the artist.

Mockup book cover with the title "The Treasure of Itzel". It shows two kids facing the reader in a forest setting. The kid in the front, with an "Indiana Jones" hat, is climbing over some stone columns covered in moss and looks super excited. While the kid in the back has a baseball cap and glasses, they are looking more cautious. The stones have carved signs and symbols, including a skull.

The last student, a boy on the leftmost part has his arms crossed and is also looking at the open book.

An illustration of a child with a bunch of birds facing forward. Birds include a Major Mitchell Cockatoo, a blue footed Booby and a Barn Owl. The boy still has his net for some reason, and there are still no insects to be found.

Those who use digital tools like Procreate to make art… did you start off with traditional media? Been carving out a little time lately for sketchbooking and I forgot how free and gratifying it is! If you make digital art, so you also go back to traditional from time to time? #kidlitart #birdart

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard Day! 🍁 I’m an illustrator and author currently looking for more picture books, board books and other novelty title opportunities. 🌐 martinstanev.com 📖 Rep’d by InklingIllustration.com ✉️ hello.martinstanev@gmail.com #kidlit #kidlitart #illustration

Illustration depicting an autumnal scene, showing a garden surrounded by other flats and houses. Growing in the middle of the garden is an apple tree which branches connect all neighbours who can be seen in all the little windows surrounding the tree. There is no fruit on the tree, only yellow leaves.

Some of the characters that can be seen in the windows include a mum reading to her baby by a candle, a grandma and grandchild sharing a warm drink and a person calling their cat, which can be seen walking on the right wall of the garden.

In the garden, a girl is carrying a giant orange pumpkin and an older woman on the left is passing some jam over to her neighbours above with the use of a basket and rope.

A lively illustration showing the spirit of community and sharing.
