I'm joining the Venster Visual story challenge over on Instagram this month... I made this pair of illustrations for the first prompt - 'calm before the storm'. #vvsc2025 #kidLitArt #happyLittleSlug

A brightly coloured inky illustration of a slug crawling among the grass. They're looking in up at the sky in surprise, as it's just starting to rain

Another brightly coloured inky illustration - this time the slug is smiling broadly, as heavy rain pours all around her

Long time no see! ... #slugLife #slugJoke #kidLitArt #sketchbook

Painterly illustration of two little slugs meeting in the grass. They didn't expect to see one another, and both have their antennae raised in surprise

Hello it's about time I joined in with #kidLitArtPostcard! I'm Rachel Turner, a picture book writer/illustrator, based in Bristol UK. I aim to make positive and playful work, and enjoy using messy, unpredictable materials. #kidlit #KidLitArtPostcardDay

A hand drawn illustration of a small human hugging the leg of a larger human, and looking up at them. The illustration is at the child's eye level. Next to them, text reads: Rachel Turner, illustrator / picture book maker, rachturner@hotmail.com, @doublewhoop

Here is a pair of pictures I made for @picturehooks.bsky.social's recent 'Meow? MEOW!' competition brief. 🐈🤓🏆 #kidLitArt #cleverCat

An illustration of the same soft and chunky tabby cat. This time they are triumphantly holding a solved Rubik's cube in the air above them 😺🏆

I've hooked a couple of weird little fish from the archives for this week’s #printpromptmonday theme, #water. They're both #monoprint on newsprint. #printmaking #art
