Happy #kidlitartpostcard day! This is a spread from a PB dummy I'm currently finishing up, it's an adventure, a mystery, a caper, there's dress up, and hijinks. I'm open to board book and picture book projects. Let's make a cool book together! www.jackie-thomson.com email: jkt.pdx@gmail.com

My kids love reading, they read 8-10 graphic novels A WEEK, EACH. Yet I have a number of older relatives that are constantly dumping on them for "only reading graphic novels"...Can you imagine the type of monsters trying to convince a kid NOT to read? They are shocked we don't want to visit more.

A mystery cat has been visiting my porch, she's silver grey, and sassy so we've named her Estelle after the incomparable Estelle Getty from Golden Girls (obviously) Every morning our whole house has an update on Estelle. She was on the porch! She was in the window! We fed her snacks!

#folktaleweek anyone else participating? My main story is over on IG. This is a story I adapted from a folktale originally from Greenland. It's got some really mean parts, it's excellent. #kidlitart

I'm always in a clean out mood in the fall because I get so overwhelmed by the holidays I need to get everything in order, cleaner, less. I've just checked out a Japanese minimalism book from the library, so I'm sorry in advance to everyone who lives with me as I next level my anxiety cleaning mode

I've been checking out CD's from the library again like it's 2007 instead of listening on Spotify with 1000 Ads, and it's a 10/10 experience all around. I get a little outing, I pick up treats, I listen to new things. Cannot recommend enough.

currently at the @scbwi.bsky.social Summer conference, meeting lots of nice illustrators and authors! Here are some recent sketches, unrelated to my current picture book dummy, cause sometimes it's nice to clear your head!

hello! I'm new here, I'm an illustrator looking to connect with the picture book / kidlit community! I work in watercolor, gouache and colored pencil and I love stories that are subtle, beautiful, and where kids are able to find a part of themselves and the world around them #kidlit #kidlitart
