Hi #KidLitArtPostcard! I'm Steph, and I like stories full of misfits and mischief. My 2nd picture book, Medusa's Pet Rock, just came out last week. Rep: @allielevick.bsky.social 🌐: stephlaubooks.com

A sad young Medusa holds a petrified hamster in a cage. Behind her, her shadow has turned all evil looking, and the word MONSTROUS is rendered in angry red granite looking texture

‪Hi #KidLitArtPostcard day! I’m Mike and I love creating fun, character-driven work, both spooky and funny (spunny? fooky? 🤔) I'm rep'd by @vickyweberbooks.bsky.social & am especially looking for middle grade cover work. See more work at mdashow-kidlitart.carrd.co #kidLitArt #spunny #fooky #MG

Two kids explore a hallway in a dark mansion. They look worried, and the boy holds a flashlight. The hallway is lined with paintings in ornate frames, all of the eyes of the paintings watching the kids. We can see the shadow of some sort of horned monster coming up the stairs.

The information on the card reads "Michael Dashow, mdashow-kidlitart.carrd.co, represented by Vicki Weber with Creative Media Agency."
