Unfortunately, like many small businesses, I'm having to suspend shipping to the USA due to the removal of the 'de minimus' exemption. I'm hoping it will be temporary since I have a lot of US customers and this will hurt my business quite a bit 🤞 sashastowe.etsy.com

I finally reached 1k followers over on Instagram, so to celebrate I'm doing a #DTIYS challenge 🥳 Feel free to do it in any medium (no AI). No deadline, but do tag me in your posts and use the hashtag #sashaDTIYS1k so I can see your wonderful pieces and share them 🎨 #kidlitart #illustration #art

A 'Draw this in your style' challenge set by me. The illustration is of a ginger haired girl who's wearing a dragon horn headband, a yellow spotty t-shirt and blue trousers, reaching down to stroke a cute pink dragon. She's surrounded by green foliage and other small dragons. One dragon is reaching up to her, one is on her head, one is flying above her and 3 others are hiding in the bushes.

Zaphod Beeblebrox...the perfect excuse to design some truly terrible clothing 🤣. It was a lot of fun 😁 #hitchhikersguidetothegalaxy #fanart #scifi #kidlitart #illustration #characterdesign

An illustration of my interpretation of the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy character, Zaphod Beeblebrox. He has two heads (one with lime green hair and the other with blue hair) and three arms. He's dressed in the most garish, colourful outfit (for he is the worst dressed in the universe). Pink trousers, white stockings, blue striped top and an angular multicoloured jacket with pointy, wide shoulders. He's in an arrogant pose.

An illustration of a black cat on a big rock looking down at the bees flying around a wild flower meadow.

An illustration of the black cat in the previous illustration launching into the air because their curiosity resulted in a bee stinging their nose. Their nose is swollen and they've kicked up lots of grass and flowers as well as knocking over the rock. The bees are flying around the cat.

a world without trans people has never existed and never will

a medieval style digital drawing of an androgynous brown-skinned knight on horseback on a hill, stabbing a long gold spear into a blue dragon on the ground. the knight has a gold halo behind their head and wears a suit of silver armor with a nonbinary flag striped tunic and a trans flag as a cape. their horse is white, with blue tack with trans pride trim. there is black gothic text at the top and bottom of the image reading “A world without trans people has never existed and never will.” there’s an ornate pale blue border around the image, filled with pink and blue scrollwork, gold hearts filled with colorful flowers, a smiley bat, two smiley moles, and two smiling frogs holding up trans flags.

Hi, #PortfolioDay ! I'm Mike and I like creating fun, colorful character-driven art. I make art for video and tabletop games and would love to create some MG book covers. I am also seeking representation. See more work at linktr.ee/mdashow Cheers! 😄 #kidLitArt #characterDesign #illustration #art

Four kids in their early-to-mid teens around a table playing Da tabletop role-playing game. The game master is standing in front of a laptop and explaining something that's happening in the game. The other kids are rolling dice, arguing about rules, and explaining a plan. there is a grid map on the table, along with miniature figures, lots of dice, chips, and a sleeping cat. The entire piece is in green and dark pinks and whites, with a dark teal background.

A trans kid stands, holding one fist up while the other holds a sign mostly hidden by her leg. She's got a thicker body and is wearing red sheakers, trans flag socks, a white skirt, a big red sweater with a white stripe across the chest, and big glasses. She has fluffy brown hair and a cheerful, determined expression. Behind her lots of other people - many teens - are also marching and carrying signs that read "Support trans students" and "trans lives matter." The background is mostly purple.

An afghan hound dressed as a swashbuckling pirate. She's got a pirate had with big feathers in it, a wine-colored jacker, belts and a sash, and piratey boots. She's holding a pistol and a sword, and while she's smiling, she also looks tough and cunning.

A panicked apprentice witch (she's human, with pink hair, glasses, and light academia clothing) makes a mess of her cauldron while being calmy advised by an older, wiser witch (who is a bear.) Aside from the exploding cauldron, the browns of the scene make it warm and cozy.

A digital illustration of my representation of the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy character, Arthur Dent. He's got blonde, scruffy hair, is wearing a massive brown dressing gown with green PJs shorts and a white t-shirt. Over his arm is a white towel and he's holding a red mug that's spilling tea. He's very confused!
