Hello to all the new (or returning) #kidlit & #kidlitart folks! We're working to try to get the community more active, but also, it helps if everyone tries a bit to interact with one another! BlueSky likes interactions - you have to say something to get something back! Here's some tips to help:

Sure the last day of school is exciting for kids — but as a parent I always look forward to the “Deleting Of The Alarms” (morning and afternoon).

Until there is a clear legislative solution . . . I am comfortable with this.

If art directors and independent authors (really anyone who may need some art) out there want to find artists they can be 100% sure are human made, I’d encourage you to go to Cara.app , it’s exploded in # of artists recently and is completely wall to wall human made art

Cara | Artist Social & Portfolio Platformcara.app Cara is a social and portfolio platform for the entertainment art industry.

Very appealing character design

It’s #KidlitArtPostcard ! While I really love colors and rendering I also love monochrome and the “sketchy” style for PB, so If you’re looking for something I can fit, hit me up! Specially for Picture Books and Middle grade covers. www.phonemova.com

This is just a really nicely observed image. A universal childhood experience but with appealing specific details.

Hello bluesky! This is my first post- I’m Dagmar, and I’m a children’s book illustrator based in Virginia. I love drawing sweet everyday moments. Nice to meet everyone 🤗 And happy #kidlitartpostcard day! #kidlitart #kidlit #illustration

Well, I just posted this banner on Twitter and IG and Threads with a call to only post #kidlitartpostcard here and on Cara. So how long before I get in trouble? 😬 Anyway - super excited for Thursday's #kidlit #kidlitart event here!

A detail from a new work in progress. It’s an image that I’ve had bouncing around in my head for a while now.

Today's foray into pigment on paper. As a suburban California kid, I will never stop being enchanted by these tiny European villages. #watercolorpainting #watercolorstudy #travelsketch #villagestreet

Still playing with some monochromatic watercolor studies. This one is physical media. Took a trip to Banff last fall and clicked a photo of this epic shadow cast on a mountain. #epicmountain #watercolorlandscape #watercolorstudy #banffnationalpark

Playing with the Rebelle painting program. Did this monochromatic master copy. I like learning a new tool this way because I'm able to focus just on the mark-making and figuring out how to get reliable results. #learningneverstops #digitalwatercolor #landscapes #happyaccidents

An unfortunate fact that as you get older gifts become a little more practical -- and a little less exciting. (But I'll still always say "Yes, please!" to a pencil sharpener that's built like a tank) #kidlitart #picturebookillustration #beverlycleary #giftingideas

Been considering a change? Maybe today is the day you try out that new look! (But be sure to get a second opinion) #kidlitart #fashionchoices #nanathegreat #picturebookillustration

Had a great discussion in my PNCA Advanced Picturebook class comparing and contrasting these two books. Both make very interesting illustration/design choices. I came into class with one opinion . . . but left with an entirely different one! #kidlitart #picturebook #compareandcontrast
