Saturday sketching on a beautiful Thanksgiving weekend. I’ve got books and cats and leaves… and a dog who very much wants to catch the chipmunk who has been taunting her for weeks. #kidlit #kidlitart #scbwi #picturebookart #illustration

Watch your back (and front). The graveyard can be a spoooooooky place! Website now updated with middle grade art (and more coming soon!)! #kidlit #kidlitart #middlegrade #illustration #scbwi

Spooky season chapter headings, anyone? It’s official… I’ve now got a middle grade section up on my website. I’ll be continuing to add pieces as I finish them, but I’m very excited to have this up and running! #kidlit #kidlitart #middlegrade #illustration #scbwi #illustrator

What started as a fun little sketch a few weeks ago has evolved into a finished portfolio piece and I think I love it.🖤 #kidlit #kidlitart #spookyseason #middlegrade #illustration

Some days, you spend all day working on a cat, because even though you have 3, you forget how to draw a cat. Has anyone studied the effects of menopause brain fog on illustrators? Just so we’re clear, I’m not asking for a friend… #illustrator #kidlit #kidlitart #menopause #brainfog

Nothing says “cozying up to spooky season” like a good, gothic cover. What’s everyone reading right now? I just started “The Once and Future Witches” by Alix E. Harrow and I’m finding it to be the perfect addition to my morning coffee. #illustration #coverart #coverdesign #bookcover #coverartist

Sun = ✔️ Dog = ✔️ Colour Study = ✔️ (I may have tried at least 5 different colour options and palettes, but I think I finally landed on a winner). #kidlit #kidlitart #picturebookart #scbwi #illustrator

Another day, another sketch. Look at me go! I’ve got big ideas for this one. It might just end up being a portfolio piece. Also, drawing outside in golden hour is ❤️. #kidlit #kidlitart #picturebookart #illustration #scbwi #illustrator #picturebookillustration

When the magic of Halloween and the magic of procreate timelapse combine to bring you my Friday afternoon fun in 30 seconds (real time = 2 hours and 3 minutes). Currently booking middle grade work. 👻 #kidlit #kidlitart #illustration #illustrator #middlegradebooks #scbwi

Laura Piggott @laurapiggott.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Challenging myself to put in the work to get the work I want, so there’s no better way to start a daily art intention than with a middle-grade, Halloweenie scene. Will this become cover art? Interior art? Stay tuned! #kidlit #kidlitart #middlegradebooks #illustrator #illustration

Just got back from a dream vacation to Italy and France. An absolute highlight for me was shopping for art supplies in person at Magasin Sennelier in Paris. I could have spent all day lost inside, but time doesn’t stop and I had to choose… #sennelier #illustrator #carandache #paris #artist #kidlit

This is 43… 42 wasn’t a fabulous year. But, I have high hopes and big goals for 43: will it be the year I finally break into the publishing world with my writing or illustration? (Just keep swimming, right?) Here’s to another birthday and another year. #kidlit #kidlitart #illustrator #scbwi

Industry friends, I need your help. I joined LinkedIn this week and was locked out of my account today. After verifying my identity, I received this message. Has this ever happened to any of you? What did you do? I don’t know why I’ve been locked out. #kidlit #kidlitart #illustrator #scbwi

Yesterday evening I got caught up in my very own magic hour when a rainbow landed on my current knitting project… and I thought to myself, “Why can’t every evening be just like this?” #illustrator #bookcover #coverart #illustration #bookdesign

Picture book portfolio update time! Has anyone ever tried doing a base layer in a contrasting colour in Procreate? Hoping to create some texture and depth to try and mimic my mixed media work. Time to play! #kidlit #kidlitart #scbwi #illustrator #picturebookart

Thank you! These were so fun! Frogs are so cute! I think setting the timer definitely helps make them flowy/sketchy.

A lovely morning catching up on the London Drawing Club’s Emma Carlisle workshop on frogs. These 3 are my faves (and all done in a total of 20 minutes). Ribbit! #frogart #illustration #sketchbookart #illustrator #kidlit #sketchbook #mixedmedia
