Happy #KidLitArtPostcard Day! The Rodeo just left Houston. I love seeing the culmination of all the hard work done by the livestock kids.

I'm a multimedia illustrator focused on board books, and seeking representation.

A digital illustration of a young girl with long brown hair in a braid, wearing brown boots, a blue denim skirt with a white ruffle, a red shirt, and a blue bandana around her neck. She is hugging a white lamb wearing a blue ribbon with "1" on it. The illustration is framed as if it is a polaroid photo, in a white frame. At the bottom of the "photo" is "Rodeo 2025" and then "Diandra Mae Illustrator" with "diandramae.com" at the very bottom.

It’s an illustration that captures a sweet moment of a little girl waking up from her nap next to a gentle, fuzzy bear and her baby brother.

This is my body hair story. 🫣

I’ve been thinking about turning some of my silly little stories into zines. Stories for my girls about those awkward teen years. Maybe these stories will even resonate with grown ups.

Anyways. Stay tuned. 💖
