Happy #kidlitartpostcard day! I’m an author/illustrator who loves stories involving offbeat characters, introverts, mice, food (any, but especially larger-than-life), gardens, old people, old objects, and other things that surprise and/or delight!

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard Day! And Happy Spring! 🌸 Perhaps you’ll find an elephant in your garden too? 🤷🏻‍♀️ I love creating illustrations that are full of wonder and possibility! Currently seeking representation for picture books! #kidlitart #picturebookillustration #scbwiillustrators #illustration

In a backyard a small girl in yellow leans over the white railing of a garden porch to look down at what sits underneath in the grass. Her dark hair drapes over the railing as she spies a purple elephant partially hidden under a pink and yellow check striped blanket peeking back up at her. The porch extends from a brick wall w a door and window. There is a mat beneath the door that reads, “Home”, and many potted plants. Down the porch stairs are more flowering plants with a fence in the background, a tree in the top right corner with a bluebird peering down at the scene, and a pink and yellow butterfly fluttering by. The bottom reads, “Melissa Zurca-Ng” on the left and “melissazurcang.com” on the right.

It's not spooky season, but I finished this for @thecatagency.bsky.social's March promo—just in time for #kidlitartpostcard! I'm open to PB, chapter book, and cover projects!! I'd LOVE to illustrate more border illustrations like this. ✨ 🧙‍♀️ reaganlehman.net 🐈‍⬛ Rep'd by @christiemegill.bsky.social

A young witch in a pink outfit plays the violin. Border illustrations around her show different monsters, a moon, and different familiars listening and interacting with her music. Underneath the border, text reads: "Reagan Lehman, reaganlehman.net, Rep'd by Christie Megill, The CAT Agency."

I get by with a little help from my friends. (Also with: snacks, walking around my neighborhood in the freezing cold, getting into bed early with a book, adding home decor that I’ll never buy to online shopping carts…). How do you get by when life is stressful? #kidlitart

Working on some black & white cuties with water soluble graphite for an upcoming gallery show! This medium is my current favorite obsession. All the fun of painting with none of the stress of selecting colors and setting up a palette. Perfect 🤌 #kidlit #kidlitart

Best career advice - age is just a number. You are never too old to succeed in the industry. I would go back and tell myself not to compare my journey with someone else. #kidlitchat

I haven’t had a ton of time to get out the full paint palette lately, so I’ve been doing a lot of quick graphite drawings instead. Here are a few recent faves! What do you do when you’re low on time? #kidlit #kidlitartist
