Tomorrow! #KidLitArtPostcard day! This June marks the 5th anniversary of the event. I'm cooking up some fun ideas to celebrate, starting with a logo refresh. I can't wait to see everyone's art! Be sure to triple check your hashtag!!!! #kidlit

Taking a victory lap this morning. Since Monday I’ve been going crazy looking for my cintiq stylus. I finally found it! In a drawer. In the kitchen.

A day late to #kidlitartpostcard over here because I’m bad at juggling social medias! If you’re seeing this then it’s time to hire me to illustrate your next #spooky or #adventurous #PB, #MG, or #YA project! Website: sydneyjstone.com Rep: @kellydhouse.bsky.social at @thetobiasagency.bsky.social

A monotone illustration of a kid standing in a spotlight from an alien space ship. They appear to have just gotten home from a vacation and are wearing sunglasses, and wide brim hat, a neck travel pillow, holding a vacation drink, and a fanny back that contains some sort of small creature with 1 eye. On their ear is a cattle tag labeled “011”. Text reads: sydney stone kidlit illustration rep’d by Kelly dyksterhouse

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day. It’s my favorite time to draw. I’ve been working on a softer style that I think would be a great fit for chapter books or graphic novels.

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day. I’ve been drawing this firetruck a lot lately. I decided to give him a little postcard story. I’m an author and illustrator I enjoy working in board books, early readers picture books and comics. I’m hoping to break into graphic novels.

When time allows I make mini Aquaman comics. I made the first one for a friend during the pandemic. It was a nice break from the computer so I kept making them. I couldn’t post the entire thing here. I included a link to my Instagram post. www.instagram.com/p/DD2ZwVyv5S...

Happy to help! I will say, even though illustrators do not typeset their books after they’ve been acquired by a publishing house, studying typography, and lettering, and book design will lead to stronger dummies, which will increase the odds that they get acquired. :)

Close up of some hidden picture fun. See if you can find the objects. You are looking for a pear, bowl, slice of pizza, and a sock. 😀 #kidlitart

Vintage Golden Books usually have a letter on the last page near the spine which tells you what printing it is. I couldn’t find a letter anywhere on the Color Kittens. I even looked to see if it was tucked under the spine. @joshjlewis.bsky.social Any ideas?

Rob McClurkan @rmcclurkan.bsky.social · 21/11/2024

I met all my deadlines so I decided to go on a vintage Little Golden Book hunt. Here’s what I found. All of these were had the same owner. The book “When I Grow Up” still had its original puzzle in the back.
