Happy scorching hot July #KidLitArtPostcard Day! Has anybody actually tried frying an egg on the sidewalk? How'd it go? I'm an #unagented author-illustrator seeking representation and/or projects. I ❤️ colorful textural art, funny stories for kids, and clouds (not pictured). 🎨: elizabeth-metz.com

Illustration postcard. Art depicts two girls (one with brown skin, black hair pulled back in two puffs, a yellow blouse with fluttery sleeves, and navy shorts, the other with pink skin, brown hair pulled back in a ponytail + bangs, wearing green overalls over a white short-sleeved blouse) sitting on a sidewalk looking at an egg frying on the pavement between them. Between them, a brown scruffy dog looks up warily at the beaming sun, its tongue lolling out. Overlaid text says "Author + illustrator Elizabeth Metz, www.elizabeth-metz.com."
