Hi #KidLitArtPostcard day, here's my spooky (but also cozy?) art for October's postcard day. I'm repped by @vickyweberbooks.bsky.social and am especially looking for Middle Grade cover work. See more work at mdashow-kidlitart.carrd.co #kidLitArt #spooky #goblins #girl #spookyMG #kidLit #MG

A girl is in an old fashioned dining room surrounded by three huge, smiling-but-untrustworthy-looking green-skinned goblin grannies, who are offering her all sorts of treats. The table is covered by other delicious-looking desserts. The girl, in a turquoise hoodie and long brown hair, is holding a glass of milk and smiling nervously.
The text on the illo reads "Michael Dashow, mdashow-kidlitart.carrd.co, rep'd by vicky Weber at TBA."

If somebody you know is feeling frazzled about the upcoming school year, try Yeti Is Not Ready for School! Ask for it at your library or favorite bookstore. #kidlit #kidlitart

Yeti is sitting at the table looking disheveled with her fur poking out and eyes wide. There is a smelly fish on her plate and a glass of orange juice beside her. “Back to school nerves?”
