Happy #kidlitartpostcard day! It's the little moments of warmth and connection (and creating) that make the world a little less scary. Especially for witches :)

Hey BlueSky illustrators. Question for ya: do you get migraine auras if you push yourself too hard on the computer? If so, what's your work strategy (i.e. limit time on the screen, frequent breaks, etc.)? Thanks.

An oldie from when we lost power and I had to use pencil and paper. (color added later in Photoshop once the power went back on)
