Hi #KidLitArtPostcard day! I love drawing kids, animals, and fun situations. I'm especially looking for middle grade cover/interior work. I'm repped by @vickyweberbooks.bsky.social See more work at mdashow-kidlitart.carrd.co #kidLitArt #cat #gilr #madscientist #science #childrensillustration

A girl dressed in casual clothes with a lab coat over them holds a beaker full of a bubbling liquid and an eye-dropper that she's just used on her cat. The cat looks aghast as one of its paws has enlarged to an enormous size. Behind them is a lab table with lots of chemicals, and a giant nail polish container.

The information on the card reads "Michael Dashow, illustrator, mdashow-kidlitart.carrd.co, represented by Vicky Weber at CMA"
